DOVE silky smooth single chocolate bar is a decadent treat. The DOVE chocolate bar from Mars Snackfood US, LLC contains five linked squares of solid dark chocolate in an individual bar. It is a 1.3-ounce (36.9g) bar and is known as the GALAXY bar in the U.K.

When the packaging of the DOVE chocolate bar is peeled away, a heady aroma of sweet chocolate hits the senses. This chocolate bar has a scent that is luxurious and mouth-watering. The chocolate scent is reminiscent of the aroma one experiences when walking into a chocolatier's shop. The dark chocolate bar has a glossy sheen and the word DOVE is imprinted into each linked square of chocolate.

The chocolate snaps crisply when a square is removed from the bar. Do not bother to take a dainty bite of one square. Place the entire square in your mouth and experience a delicious dark chocolate experience. The DOVE dark chocolate bar is smooth and rich. It contains a complex semi-sweet chocolate flavoring. It is a more sophisticated taste as compared to a milk chocolate Hershey bar. The flavor of the Dove dark chocolate is closer to the dark chocolate flavors found in a Fannie May chocolate truffle. This bar has a satisfying dark chocolate flavor that tastes better than the dark chocolate found in the Hershey's Special Dark chocolate bar.

Dark chocolate has gained a reputation for having health benefits due to its high concentration of antioxidants. A report issued by the University of Cologne in Germany stated that eating a moderate amount of dark chocolate a day could reduce blood pressure. (WebMD) Mars Snackfood states on their DOVE website that, "Mar's patented COCOAPRO (registered trademark) process ensures that DOVE Dark Chocolate retains much of the healthy cocoa flavanols."

Each DOVE single chocolate bar contains 190 calories and twelve grams of fat. The bar does not contain any trans fat or sodium. It does contain seventeen grams of sugar per bar.

DOVE chocolate has been a tradition since the 1950's. The original DOVE ice cream bar featured hand-dipped vanilla ice cream smothered in rich dark chocolate. Anyone who has enjoyed that decadent ice cream treat will enjoy the DOVE dark chocolate single bar. The chocolate bar has all the flavor and richness of the DOVE ice cream bar.
