Very tasty indeed! I highly recommend this if you love chocolate because it tastes more chocolaty than chocolate!

Oh dear. I was so excited by the prospect of a healthy chocolatey pudding. I had all the ingredients already in my cupboard. Let's just say that it looked very much like the picture but the taste..... truly awful. Very bitter. Big thumbs down from every single member of the family.

Mine had zero bitterness. In my opinion, any bitterness could come from: a)if chia seeds are not fresh b)too much vanilla extract c)if you omit maple syrup d)too much of cacao nibs, perhaps?
