Spring & Mulberry earns strong reviews for exquisite, date‑sweetened dark chocolate that tastes smooth, complex, and not overly sweet, with standout flavors like Mango, Urfa Chili, Black Lime, Earl Grey, Lavender, and Mixed Berry. Reviews also flag drawbacks: some toppings (large dried mango, heavy salt) hinder breakability and balance, certain flavors polarize, and past supply hiccups/recall and inconsistent nut coverage appear, making it better for gifting than everyday eating.

Delicious, sophisticated chocolate for the discerning palate. To be clear, we were not all aligned here... we only tasted the Mango Urfa Chil Black Lime bars. Dad loved them but he's a dark-chocolate aficionado with a soft spot for spicy/salty add-ons. Kids claim they would have preferred the Mixed Berry. So it goes...
Anything with dates, I am interested in. Especially when chocolate is combined and the packaging is adorable. Each bar is 10 bucks so it is expensive. I bought two flavors a dollar less online and was satisfied with a bite a day. Not too sweet, very healthy, and great ingredients

Spring and Mulberry has quickly become a favorite for anyone who loves chocolate with a healthier twist! Their date-sweetened chocolate bars are a delicious and guilt-free indulgence. The dates provide a natural sweetness, which makes the bars rich and flavorful without the added sugar. I love that the chocolate is smooth and not overly sweet, offering a more balanced, refined taste. It’s a great option for anyone looking for a treat that’s both satisfying and better for you. If you're craving chocolate but want to avoid the sugar overload, Spring and Mulberry’s date-sweetened bars are a must-try!
Dates + Chocolate = :D I tried the mango chili bar. Beautifully rich and almost jammy tasting. You can taste the date sweetness. The dried mango made it a bit difficult to break off pieces. The lime, chili, salt, and mango combo was unique and satisfying. Beautiful packaging.

Delicious and unique, but I wasn't blown away. This is an expensive bar of chocolate. Great for a fancy gift, but I wouldn't buy it for myself again.
The chocolate was good but not great. Flavors were unique but not delicious (mango chili was never finished). Toppings were BEAUTIFUL though!
Spring and Mulberry packaging is wonderful. And I love the idea of this chocolate
Feedback
I was worried about the chocolate would be too bitter with it being sweeten with dates. But I was surprised by how good it is. It does not have the bitter chocolate after taste

So yummy! I love the diverse textures on the bar and the complementary flavors. Very nice packaging and branding. I tried the mango, urfa chile, and black lime bar which was great and would love to try other flavors.

I got my bar with the Thingdrop discount, but I wouldn't pay full price for this bar. It's a bit pricey!

I love date sweetened chocolate and I wish more brands did it. It is delicious and full of healthy things that straight sugar won't get you. A+ concept. I have thoughts on Spring&Mulberry specifically > The base chocolate is amazing. I don't love the flavors with fruit sprinkled on top (But they are very pretty so good to bring to a dinner party). I have a subscription of just the chocolates without toppings. The Earl Grey might be my favorite. > They've had issues with supply chain (had to switch out of organic cocoa for a while) and a recall. Doesn't always feel like things are running super smoothly, but I guess that's just the deal with a small business. (But when you're paying so much for a bar of chocolate I guess you expect more?) > Great branding, partnerships, marketing etc. They do well in this space. > The customer service I've received on a few occasions has been pretty meh. (Probably also a small business issue, but again, it's expensive chocolate...) I'm curious to see what other brands do in the date chocolate space, as it's bound to become a thing.

Would love more flavors without fruit. Would love to see them remove the plastic as interior packaging. Would love for them to go organic.

This is the perfect gift!! The packaging is beautiful and the actual bar of chocolate has fruits and flowers on the top too.
I didn't not like it, it just didn't stand out to me in a world full of expensive chocolate bars. The packaging is nice, the product was tasty, but it wasn't wow for me

Gorgeous packaging and more importantly, great taste. The dried mango was absolutely delicious, I was leery of the chili but it was a hint with a little heat aftertaste. It was well balanced by the lime. I could definitely see having this with an exotic meal.

This bar is packaged so simply, but lovely. It is very eye-catching and I love the subtle colors. I received the chili, black lime bar to test. I was leary at first, because chili and chocolate?! One of my favorite combinations are chili and lime...very subtly used in this bar. I love the idea of dates as a sweetener, as well. Very creative flavor blends!
Feedback
Very creative, tasty bar, great gift, however, it is very pricy and I will really have to think twice about purchasing at full price.

I got Spring & Mulberry's Mango, Urfa Chili, Black Lime bar through Thingdrop and was a little worried that the chili or the lime was going to be overpowering, but they're absolutely not. The flavors are perfectly balanced, with just a hint of this and a hint of that, all in service to the dark chocolate (not taking away from it). Not to mention, adorable packaging. Can't wait to try their other bars!
Feedback
Delicious & great packaging!
Stunning packaging and look of the actual chocolate. Would make a beautiful gift! It’s definitely not for everyone as the flavors are unique. This is not your grocery store Hershey’s bar!
Feedback
The flavors are definitely different so manage those expectations! Because it’s sweetened with dates, it has sugar but isn’t as sweet as your typical chocolate
Dried chiles are a staple in many households, and there are three main types: pul biber (flaked chile), kırmızı toz biber (powdered chile), and Urfa biber. The latter, also known as Urfa chile, is the author's favorite and is grown in the hills surrounding Urfa in southeastern Turkey. It is a purplish-black spice that packs a smoky kick and subtle sweetness, adding serious depth and nuance to any dish or snack.

I've only gifted these to clients, but got really glowing reviews back from the recipients. Their packaging is absolutely gorgeous and their customer service was incredibly helpful and responsive when I had questions about shipping.
These bars are beautiful and delicious, and a very nice size, but they are so expensive on top of not being available locally. It makes a great gift for the person in your life with an elevated sweet tooth, but definitely not a regular go-to chocolate bar.

Love the branding and ingredients. Wish it was a little more affordable!

This was very tasty chocolate! I like that it was date sweetened and had visible pieces of dried fruit. If you like semisweet chocolate then you will likely enjoy this product!
Feedback
The flavor I got was good but I probably wouldn’t get it again. The mango pieces were pretty big so breaking or biting off pieces wasn’t the easiest. The salt was also a bit heavy handed for my liking, but the more I ate the less I noticed it.
