Original answer
Short answer: there’s no single “best” chocolate in 2025 — but the top award winners and critics’ picks this year point to several outstanding bean‑to‑bar and craft makers (and a few great widely available bars). Below are notable 2025 standouts and quick notes on why they matter.
Top picks in 2025
- Friis‑Holm Chokolade — European winner at the 2025 International Chocolate Awards (exceptional bean‑to‑bar craftsmanship). (internationalchocolateawards.com)
- Solkiki Chocolatemaker — 2025 British winner at the International Chocolate Awards (highly regarded small‑batch bars). (internationalchocolateawards.com)
- Dormouse Chocolates — another 2025 British winner called out by the Chocolate Awards for its toasted, bold bars. (internationalchocolateawards.com)
- Fu Wan Chocolate (Taiwan) — multiple golds in the 2025 International Chocolate Awards (noted for distinctive origin and processing). (enter.chocolateawards.com)
- Minimal (mini‑mal.tokyo) — gold winner (Asia‑Pacific) in 2025 for plain/origin dark bars (high scores in regional judging). (enter.chocolateawards.com)
- Askinosie Chocolate, Dick Taylor Craft Chocolate, Xocolatl Small Batch — winners in the Good Food Awards (2025), representing top U.S. craft/bean‑to‑bar choices. (goodfoodfdn.org)
- TCHO Dark Duo (75%) — one of EatingWell’s top taste‑tested dark bars in 2025 (silky texture, widely recommended in tastings). (eatingwell.com)
- Divine, Amano, Pascha, Theo — other recurring editor/tester favorites for specific needs (very dark, allergen‑free, gifting, value) per 2025 taste tests. (eatingwell.com)
Why these matter
- The International Chocolate Awards and Good Food Awards are industry benchmarks for craft, origin expression, and technical quality; their 2025 winners point to bars that impressed expert juries. (enter.chocolateawards.com, internationalchocolateawards.com)
- Independent taste tests (e.g., EatingWell) highlight bars that balance flavor, texture and accessibility for U.S. shoppers. (eatingwell.com)
Quick buying tips
- Decide what you want: intense cocoa (70%+), milky/creamy (50–60%), flavored/inclusive fillings, or ethical sourcing (bean‑to‑bar/direct‑trade). (eatingwell.com, enter.chocolateawards.com)
- For bean‑to‑bar exploration, look for origin info, maker notes on fermentation/roast, and small‑batch producers (many award winners publish this). (enter.chocolateawards.com)
- If you want something easy to find and a reliable performer, try the taste‑test picks (TCHO, Divine, Theo) before moving into pricier micro‑batch bars. (eatingwell.com)
If you want, I can:
- Recommend the single best bar for your taste (dark vs. milk, fruity vs. nutty vs. bitter), or
- Find where to buy any of the listed bars in the U.S. (shops/online) with current prices and shipping options.
