Hi Arthur, the nibs are really versatile, but not sweet and I do understand that they are not always what somebody who's never tried them before is expecting. Eating them straight is definitely not the way to enjoy them. I suggest putting them in your morning yogurt or smoothie; sprinkling them on a green salad, especially with some slices of mandarin orange; mixing them in with nut-based trail mix; using as a topping for ice cream; including them when baking cookies or brownies; or finally this little gem:
Maple Nibs Recipe
Ingredients: 6 oz. (170.10 grams) Cacao Nibs; 2 oz. (56.70 grams) Maple Syrup;
Mix nibs and maple syrup together in a bowl until syrup is evenly distributed. Spread mixture evenly on parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 325F for 12 min. Remove baking sheet from oven, then remove parchment from baking sheet to allow nibs to cool. Collect nibs after approximately 7 minutes cooling time.
Good luck, and enjoy!
