Much hype surrounds this chocolate variety from Goya, as bloggers began twitting, plurking, and blogging about it (later, I’ll try to link to goya dark mint blog posts that I can find). So, of course, curious about what it tastes like, I scoured the nearby stores and even the bigger grocery stores in my place. Even SM Marilao Hypermart! But no Goya dark mint found. There were other varieties like black & white and milk chocolate. But no Goya dark mint.
Fuck, I need to know how it tastes like!
And guess where I found it, after all the hypermart and grocery stores I went to? The Mercury drug store, which is only 5 minutes away from my house.
Aaaarrrgggh! But at least, now I know where I can have my dose of Goya Dark Mint.
The tray of 9 pieces of round, minty dark chocolate goodness is wrapped in foil and packaged in a box. It’s only P25 per box and can be stored in room temperature for a long time (as long as you don’t store it in a refrigerator first). The chocolate tasted like that egg chocolates that I used to eat when I was young (and it’s manufactured by Goya too) and the mint was cool and goes together with the bittersweetness of the chocolate. I must have wolfed down the content of the entire tray in less than 5 minutes. So, big eaters should definitely buy another box, just to ensure satisfaction, although the recommended serving size is only 4 pieces.
But fuck calories! I want chocolate!
So, yeah, if there’s a Mercury drug store near you, check in there first because they might have these already and save you a trip to the mall, especially when you aim only to satisfy a sudden craving.

By the way, my rating for the Goya Dark Mint Chocolate?
I love dark chocolates and dark chocolates with mints. Goya Dark Mint chocolates taste good but not outstanding, compared with other mint dark chocolates I’ve tasted. But it’s good enough to satisfy my cravings!
For the past few weeks, I’ve been looking for Goya Dark Mint Chocolate in our coop store and in the nearby 7-11, to no avail. But last weekend I finally tasted this seemingly rare chocolate after Mhay and I found out that it’s available at SM Clark Hypermart. We bought only one box because we still had sweets from her aunts in the US. We should’ve brought home more. :p
