I ordered Mast dark chocolate because of the current reports pointing to high levels of metals in the chocolate, including lead and cadmium. Consumer Reports listed the Mast brand with the lowest percentages of lead and cadmium among all the brands. Although Mast is pricey, I decided to try it. Some of the reviews I read were critical of the quality of the taste, so I didn't know what to expect. When I received the package, opened it and tasted the chocolate, I found it to be delicious. In the past I have tried all the most notable dark chocolate brands, including Godiva, Lindt and a multitude of others, so I can say with confidence that Mast compares favorably with all the others.

Flavorful and finely made quality chocolate without the substances in some dark chocolate that are actually harmful. Fortunatually I learned there is a store not too far from my home and I will check the price there.

Just another chocolate fiend trying not to OD on metals .

Purchased this simply because of the lead/cadmium consumer reports article that came out recently. Mast was one of the few that didn't have high levels of either. Chocolate is good, not super amazing flavor. Bars are 2oz. That's 1/3 the size we're used to seeing. Tiny, tiny. Too expensive to bake with.

The chocolate is good quality, and if it is as clean as I trust it is, then it's great. But you should know these are NOT regular-sized candy bars. They are very very small (see photos). So if you are okay with that, then I'd recommend them, just understand the $ to oz. ratio might not be what you expected.
