The Mystery is Over. It's Palo Santo!
and the winner...
Angela H. from Portland Oregon guessed the mystery ingredient in Holy Wood, once named "Beata" for disguise purposes. Apparently, Angela didn't even need to take a bite before her discovery, just a whiff was enough to bring her back
to familiar memories from traveling in Ecuador. Angela will get a freebie every week for what's left of this year.
Thanks to everyone who tried the chocolate and submitted a guess. If you liked it now you can get it.
More about this rare ingredient will be posted soon.
