A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by an Irish Raw Chocolate company that were in the process of putting the finishing touches on their website. They wanted to know was I interested in trying some of their products…
Of course! Based in the West of Ireland, Magic Mayan Chocolate produce dairy, gluten and soya free raw chocolate bars. It ain’t your ordinary plain raw chocolate though, they have a fantastic, interesting product range. From bee pollen to crazy caramel, I’ve tried almost all of them at this stage.
I haven’t been eating a whole lot of chocolate of late as I’ve been trying to cut out refined sugar entirely to see if it makes any difference to my disgruntled tummy and fluctuating sleep patterns. The great thing about the Mayan range is that it’s made using coconut sugar….not a refined sugar granule insight meaning it comes in much lower on the glycemic index (35…anything below 55 is considered low). Chocolate without the blood sugar rush sounds like a winner to me! It means it’s also diabetic friendly.
Made with the best raw cacao powder and butter in the world, of the criollo variety, first imported by the Spanish from Venezuela, the bars are of raw organic quality, lightly processed at temperatures not higher than 45°C (110°F).
There are 9 different varieties currently available all of which come in 55g bars…
- Plain Perfect
- Go Goji Go…goji berries!
- Bee Bliss…bee pollen – this one was my favourite
- Oriental Orange
- Marvellous Mulberry – I didn’t have the pleasure of trying this one but as a mulberry fan I bet it’s amazing
- Creamy Cashew – the most like milk chocolate, this was my brother’s favourite!
- Always Almond
- Black Velvet – Very Dark, another one I didn’t try, this bar as minimal sugar and is particularly suitable for diabetics
- Crazy Caramel – a nice change from my usual plain dark chocolate. It can be particularly hard to find such an interesting variety of chocolate that’s vegan friendly. Layers of caramel, white and dark chocolate, this one is a crowd pleaser!
You can find out more about the different products and their ingredients here.
So where am I going with this other than sharing the wonders of this amazing chocolate?

Oooh, I would love to try some of these Ireland-made raw chocolate bars!
I think the varieties I’m most interested in are:
- Crazy Caramel: Anything caramel is taste-worthy in my book!
- Creamy Cashew: It was a toss-up between this and the Almond bar, but I love cashews and have never really had them together with chocolate.
- Bee Bliss: Because you recommended it, and because I love honey in pretty much anything.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Oo this sounds amazing. I would like to try the go goji go, marvellous mulberry and black velvet!
I’m also following them on Twitter
I also tweeted about the giveaway
These chocolate bars sound amazing! And I have to be careful with sugar as well, so it’s good to know I don’t have to worry about that too much.
I think I’d be most interested in:
~ Black Velvet, because I abolutely adore dark, bitter chocolate and with a name like that how could I refuse?
~Creamy Cashew, because I love the mild sweetness of cashews so much.
~ Crazy Caramel, because I’ve never tried a vegan caramel chocolate before that wasn’t full of junk.
Thanks so much for hosting this giveaway!

I would try go goji go, creamy cashew and black velvet.
Ooh…normally I would say without hesitation black velvet, because I like my chocolate dark, but I’ve just gotten into bee pollen, I love goji berries but don’t but them regularly, and I really want to try mulberries…I think black velvet, mulberry, and bee bliss would be my picks.
Bee Bliss, Marvelous Mulberry, and Black Velvet all sound incredibly unique and delicious!
