An image of Java Rocks in milk chocolate and dark chocolate varieties.

Complete with travel-ready packaging, Java Rocks are available in mild milk chocolate and rich dark chocolate.

Like Milk Chocolate Java Rocks, Dark Chocolate Java Rocks are a delicious coffee treat that combines portability with foodie flair.

Full Disclosure -- Java Rocks are currently only available through Foodzie.com, for whom I have previously written copy.)

The Packaging

The tube-style packaging of Java Rocks makes them easy for travel or eating on the go. While Dark Java Rocks retain some of the whimsy of Milk Java Rocks' packaging, the color scheme is more subdued and sophisticated.

Color, Texture & Flavor

Dark chocolate Java Rocks have a more appealing color than milk chocolate Java Rocks.

The texture is the same as the milk variety: creamy with a pleasing crispiness.

The flavor is rich and dark, with a bittersweet edge to it. I find that while the milk Java Rocks are very snackable, the dark Java Rocks are more enjoyable in small quantities. They're also delicious when used as a topping for ice cream or yogurt.

Overall Opinion

This coffee confection is ideal for anyone who wants a portable alternative (or simply an alternative) to treats like espresso dark chocolate truffles or black coffee with chocolate croissants. I highly recommend them.
