5.0 out of 5 stars THESE ARE NOT SWEET AND YUMMY
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2024
Hello! I purchased these cacao nibs because they are great for inflammation. But they are so bitter and not sweet like dark chocolate. So if you read that cacao nibs taste like chocolate and are yummy…these do not. (To me anyway.) So why the 5 star review? Well, they are good for you. They do help with inflammation. Most importantly, they are delicious in recipes! Especially, recipes calling for chocolate chips. These are a great replacement. The 1lb package makes baking convenient. (Not like the 6 oz bags in the local grocer.) These are a great value! Also, this is my second time purchasing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! (I have yet to find any cacao nibs that taste like chocolate that are sweet. Even when advertised as “sweet cacao nibs”.) Hope this helps. Thanks!

5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious!

I put them as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, fruits. These nibs are delicious!!

I love the quality and richness of the flavor. I have been eating them at least 3 times per week since I got them, I am satisfied with the product, definitely I will buy more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great texture and flavor
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2024
These nibs have just the right amount of crunch for me; I have had some that were too hard. I love the bitterness, flavor, and crunch they add to yogurt and ice cream. They're great mixed into a smoothie too, but my Vitamix pretty much pulverizes them completely unless I add them in at the end at a slower speed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bitter and extra sour
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2024
I've ordered different brands of nibs before. This product has the classic and expected bitterness component, but it also has a sour flavor. It's not off putting, just didn't expect it.

Nice packaging and uniform sized nibs. First thing I made with it was mixing it 50/50 with chocolate jimmies and rolling the edges of home made ice cream sandwiches. Nice crunch.

5.0 out of 5 stars That Other Reviewer Got Stoned
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2024
The reviewer that said the bag had stones in it doesn't know what these are. These are not chocolate chips. They are raw pieces of cacao and they are very good ????. It you are expecting a natural chocolate chip you will be disappointed, but if you are looking for quality raw organic cacao nibs at a great price, you've stumbled upon one of the best ones on the market.

1.0 out of 5 stars Watch out for your teeth! Filled with "stones"
Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2017
Dangerous product- watch your teeth.

I don't usually leave reviews but I thought it was important in this case.

I should start by saying that I LOVE Cacao nibs, and Viva's are tasty. Cacao nibs are delicious, and an excellent source of fiber. I add them to yogurt, ice cream, and soup, and I even snack on them plain when I'm in the mood for something chocolatey and crunchy but don't want the calories of chocolate bar.

I thought these Viva Cacao Nibs were of excellent quality, until I kept biting down on what felt like rocks or sand. These pieces were so hard that I was afraid I might've chipped my molars, and even The smaller hard pieces made eating the cacao nibs really unpleasant. I estimate that every 5-10 bites or so, you get one of these stone-like bites and it's really distressing and dangerous.

Upon further investigation, I realized that these "stones" in Viva Cacao Nibs are actually tiny cacao nut stems and/or pieces of cacao nut shell. As it turns out, this company just does not do a careful job of de-stemming and de-shelling, so lots of shell pieces and stems are allowed into the final product. These are the superhard bits that you crack down on if you're not extremely careful.

Last night I spent about a half hour manually checking and de-stemming the remaining half of the bag so I can eat the rest with confidence . I'd be willing to pay literally twice the price, or more, to get a product that's more carefully produced, because it's not acceptable to include such a high concentration of dangerous items in the mix.

Viva needs to get its act together.

UPDATE:
After posting this review, I received a flurry of emails from Viva’s customer service team asking me to try another bag. The emails continued over a number of months. I wasn’t sure why they were so concerned with “making things right,” but I thought it was nice, so I gave them my address to send me a new bag, which they claimed would “make things right” ans show me that the “stone”-rich bag I had received was just a fluke.

Finally I tried the new bag, and let me tell you: it was the SAME as, or WORSE than, the first one: CHOCK FULL ‘O “STONES” (aka rock-hard cacao stems and shells). Every third or fourth bite contained a tooth-breaking “prize.”

Then I looked at my review and was surprised to see the number of “Helpful” ratings it has amassed. I realized that Viva’s desperation to contact me had nothing to do with “making things right,” because they hadn’t changed anything about the product. They just wanted to buy me off with a free bag of “rock”-nibs so that i’d change my negative review and so they could sell MORE bags of their “rock” nibs.

Someone is going to be injured consuming this product (that is, if it hasn’t already happened- which I’m sure it may have).

I genuinely hope that someone reports this product to the health department and that Viba is banned from continuing to sell it.

If they correct the problem, I’m glad to take down this review. But until then, I’ll keep it up.

Be ware of Viva Cacao Nibs!

5.0 out of 5 stars I love to just eat them straight from the package
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2024
I ate most of these straight out of the package. Love the flavor and the crunch that you get. So tasty and a great snack. Will be buying more. I'm sure I'll try them in some things, as well, like smoothies and what not, but honestly they're great plain.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great flavor but dangerous to eat, someone is going to get hurt
Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2024
Something has gone awry in their sorting process because chunks if shell that are inedible and dangerously hard are mixed throughout the bag. The good parts taste fabulous, I really enjoy them with chia seeds and a little milk, but I can't risk painful ir expensive dental damage.
