First off I will say that this bar gets points for taste innovation. Wasabi lovers get ready, because this is a bar created just for you. Millcreek Cacao has created a bar sprinkled with ginger and wasabi that creates an intense and unique flavor unlike any other.
Ginger and Wasabi by Millcreek Cacao
Here are the taste notes.
Snap: Crisp. It was probably a bit softer than normal, but we were outside and it was pretty hot. 
Appearance: Smooth. One thing I like about Millcreek is it’s very smooth and they’ve taken careful steps to ensure this. The back side is where the flavor lies waiting to surprise you: it’s layered with finer pieces of ginger and wasabi peas. Chocolate is dark brown.
Texture: Chocolate is as smooth as it appears, mixed in with the texture of the flavoring.
Taste: Chocolate, wasabi and ginger. We tried this chocolate a couple of ways. To get the most flavor, set the piece of chocolate on your tongue with the wasabi and ginger side down. My husband liked to let the chocolate melt on his tongue until the ginger and wasabi pieces separated and then chew them a bit to mix the flavors.
The first taste of this chocolate is an intense wasabi flavor… I say intense because that is the strongest flavor that you taste first, but it’s not overbearing. This taste then gives way to the chocolate and ginger as the flavors begin to mix in your mouth.
Smell: Mostly chocolate, slight hint of the ginger and wasabi.
Surprise flavor waiting for you on the back of the bar.
Confession, I am not a wasabi fan, but I love Millcreek chocolate. That being said, I quite enjoy experiencing different flavors, even if it’s wasabi. Chocolate is not just chocolate any more. There are so many different variations and flavors. I hope you guys don’t limit yourself and try something new soon!
Picture notes: This was another painting with light experiment. We photographed outside and used a sparkler for the light streaks that you see in the photograph. The magic numbers ended up being 2 sparklers lit at the same time, 22 F stop and 13 second exposure. We definitely used a tripod for some of the pictures and a camera remote to help minimize camera movement. If you don’t have a tripod you can set your camera on something, but the remote really helps in minimizing movement.
OMG, I love chocolate and wasabi SOOO… that means I MUST try this. Thanks for sharing this.
It was flavor innovation for sure. Thanks for visiting. Are you back from Europe yet? I hope not… hopefully you are having a great time.
That Would Be A Great Idea! Chocolate Goes Great With Anything. Anna
I completely agree.
Gina, I love your blog! It is so beautiful. And I love the chocolate peace signs! COOL! And gosh, your photography is beautiful. What a creative idea to shoot the chocolate with sparklers! I have to admit, I would have never thought about chocolate with ginger and wasabi, but it sounds really good.
Great post, thanks for sharing!

Hi Erin! Thanks so much for the sweet compliment. I have loved trying different chocolate. We have an unusual flavor again this week, hope to see you again!
What a miserable experience you must have had trying this one! LOL! Only kidding of course. This looks very delicious. We love wasabi and chocolate. The combo sounds extremely intriguing. Love your peace signs.
LOL. Yes wasabi is not my choice flavor… but I am definitely open to trying different things. I just tried a bar with cherries and chilies in it tonight. I am not a cherry fan but it was delicious! Thanks for coming by!
I am intrigued! I am a HUGE chocolate fan and think that I MUST try this!
I think I find a new flavor weekly… maybe it is a good thing that all grocery stores do not carry the fancy chocolate.
Wow, I’d never think of those flavors together. I’m a HUGE chocolate fan, so I’ll probably try this at some point. I’ll definitely subscribe and look forward to your future posts — great website on a great topic!
Oh good. I hope you enjoy the site. My goal has been to create what I do anyway, enjoy life over a pieces of chocolate. See you again soon and thank you for visiting!
Would never have thought to put those 2 flavors together, but it sounds yummy! The pics with the sparklers are wonderful!
There is definitely an array of different flavors in chocolate… but I don’t think I have found any to be completely unpleasant- yet. I hope I never do! Thank you for coming by!
I LOVE all things chocolate, but I don’t know about this…LOL
It has been an absolute riot trying different flavors. Try and be surprised. I tried cherries and chilies yesterday- delightful.
What a great combo! Looks delicious! Thanks for joining us for “Strut Your Stuff Saturday”. We hope you’ll be back soon! We loved having you. -The Sisters

The pictures look great and the chocolate looks delicious. Thank you for sharing at Saturday Show and Tell! I hope you’ll be back this week.
