have your chocolate and eat it, too
 
with Amoriss, a new vitamin-enhanced premium dark chocolate

by Amy Reiley

Moderation, smoderation. I don’t want to ration. I want to be able to dive into the cookie jar without having to worry that I’m filling up on junk.
 
Enter Phytobase, a new age “functional food” manufacturer and creator of Amoriss, a chocolate for hedonists like myself.
 
Amoriss starts from a base of premium dark chocolate but packs in a rather staggering amount of vitamins and herbs to make this candy not only uber-aphrodisiac but practically a health food. The proprietary blend includes trendy acai berry, pomegranate, goji berry and antioxident-rich mangosteen (aphrodisiacs all!). A sound idea, yes, but it  is not all that unexpected. Oh but wait, here’s the kicker. The chocolate contains resveratrol extracted from, yes, you guessed it, red wine grapes. For those of you who like to drink red wine with your chocolate, Amoriss has just saved you from washing a glass. It’s all in there.
 
Now, the important question is, how does such a vitamin-packed product actually taste? Delicious! Flavors are complex with rich, medium-dark chocolate intensity colored by tangy and sweet fruit flavors. Although it tends to melt a little less on the tongue than some of the world’s best chocolates, the lingering blueberry and raspberry aftertaste makes this health food a culinary star.
 
And for those of you who still feel the need for moderation, Amoriss is packaged as individually-wrapped bonbons with a mere 56 calorie content.
