Sharing is caring!

On the JJ Barnes Blog, I discover the best star sign chocolate for every sign of the zodiac to see if I can find the perfect sweet treat, and wonder if I’m brave enough to try it.

Are you getting a bit bored of your go-to chocolate bar, but you’re not sure what new treat to replace it with? Maybe you would enjoy something creamy and luxurious, or perhaps you want to try a burst of fruity flavor. But what if the answer to your chocolate needs wasn’t random, but written in the stars?

Chocolate, with its rich variety of flavours, mirrors the complexity of the human experience, much like the diverse traits embodied by the signs of the Zodiac. Each chocolate flavour holds its own essence, resonating with the unique characteristics of different astrological personalities.

Intrigued? Me too! That’s why I embarked on a delicious quest to discover the perfect chocolate for each zodiac sign. Jason Vishnefske from Santa Barbara Chocolate sent over a list of twelve delicious chocolate flavour combinations, each tailored to match the distinct traits of every star sign. By combining astrology’s insights with the decadent world of chocolate, I bring you the ultimate guide to star sign chocolate, and some of them are quite intense!

Star Sign Chocolate Guide

Aries (March 21 – April 19) – Chilli Chocolate

For an Aries, subtlety is for chumps. They crave intensity, and that goes for their chocolate too, which is why scorched chilies shoved into a milk chocolate bar is the perfect blend. Ruled by Mars, the god of war, Aries approach life with a bull-in-a-china-shop mentality, and their love for excitement and experience borders on recklessness, even when it comes to their sweet tooth.

The initial sweetness gives way to a gentle warmth that builds on the palate, a pleasant tingle that mirrors your own adventurous personality. Just like you crave excitement and new experiences, chilli chocolate offers a delicious departure from the ordinary. Each bite is a surprise, a perfect match for your impulsive and thrill-seeking nature. So, ditch the predictable milk chocolate, Aries. Embrace the bold heat and embark on a flavor adventure with chilli chocolate – it’s a fiery match made in zodiac heaven!

Just like how these flavours blend in chocolate, Aries mixes sweetness with a little kick. Not everyone can handle this flavour, just like not everyone can handle Aries’ fiery personality. But for those who can, they’re in the elite club!

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) –  Peanut Butter Chocolate 

Tauruses, being an earth sign, are grounded and practical, just like the earthy flavour of peanuts. They have a knack for enjoying life’s simple pleasures and finding contentment in the familiar. Peanut butter’s rich, nutty taste resonates with Taurus’s appreciation for stability and reliability. So, if you’re a Taurus, embrace your earthy peanut butter vibe and savour the grounded sweetness it brings to your life.

Unlike some signs who chase novelty, Taurus, you find beauty in consistency. And that’s precisely what peanut butter chocolate offers. It’s a reliable treat, a flavor combination you can revisit time and time again with guaranteed satisfaction. It’s like your favorite pair of cozy slippers – comforting, familiar, and utterly delightful.

If you’re a Taurus, you might’ve been called a homebody or introvert, but who doesn’t love cosiness? And what’s cosier than the timeless duo of peanut butter and chocolate? Like this flavour, Taurus knows how to appreciate the classics while indulging in something deliciously comforting.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) – White Chocolate 

Even sceptics can’t resist raising an eyebrow at a Gemini, known as one of the most controversial signs in the Zodiac. With their twin symbol, some call them two-faced, but really, Geminis are just full of layers. So, dive into the controversy with the most debated chocolate around. 

Just like a Gemini can embrace new experiences and flavors, white chocolate welcomes experimentation. It pairs beautifully with fruits, nuts, and even savory elements like chili flakes, mirroring the adaptability and love for variety of a Gemini.

White chocolate often sparks arguments—it’s made from cocoa butter but lacks cocoa solids, unlike its darker counterparts. Yet, cocoa butter does come from the chocolate plant, so people who say white is ‘not real chocolate’ are technically wrong.

-Jason Vishnefske

So, while white chocolate is both chocolate and not chocolate simultaneously, it’s just as multi-dimensional as this notorious astrological sign.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) – Birthday Cake

Birthday cake chocolate combines the rich indulgence of chocolate with the familiar sweetness of cake. It’s a harmonious blend that offers a sense of comfort and security, just like a warm hug on a rainy day – something Cancers deeply appreciate.

It’s your party, and you’ll cry if you want to, Cancer. After all, as a Cancer, you’re known for your deep emotional connection and sensitivity. And what’s better after a good cry than indulging in a slice of cake? Feeling deeply is Cancer’s superpower, and every superhero needs the right fuel. 

So embrace your emotions and treat yourself to a taste that’s as comforting and sweet as your nurturing personality.

Chocolatiers like to experiment with trendy flavours. Those who do it well can capture the taste of an entirely different dessert within the chocolate medium.

Leo (July 23 – August 22) – Gold Leaf Chocolate 

Leo isn’t going to be the kind of chocolate you can find in any old grocery store—picture instead a decadent display in a Parisian patisserie crafted by skilled chocolatiers. Leos, ruled by the sun, naturally gravitate toward the spotlight. They’re known for their confidence, generosity, and magnetic charisma. Just like how gold can catch the eye, Leos command attention wherever they go. So, it’s only fitting that their chocolate is as bold and captivating as they are!

The first bite is a sensory explosion. The smooth, luxurious chocolate melts on your tongue, delivering a wave of rich, satisfying flavor. Then comes the visual spectacle – the shimmering gold leaf adorning the chocolate, catching the light and adding a touch of extravagance. It’s a presentation worthy of a Leo’s discerning palate.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22) – Coffee 

Virgos, ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and precision, are like that reliable cup of morning joe—they’ll pick you up when you’re feeling down with their analytical and practical approach. Coffee and chocolate make a classic duo, blending seamlessly just like a perfectionist Virgo.  With their attention to detail and knack for organisation, you can count on a Virgo to handle any situation gracefully.

Virgos don’t just indulge for the sake of indulging. Coffee chocolate offers a delightful treat while also providing a subtle caffeine kick. It’s a way to satisfy your sweet tooth and sharpen your focus, perfectly aligning with your desire for efficiency and productivity.

This flavour pairs perfectly with either milk or dark chocolate, depending on your mood for sweetness. So, whether you need a boost or a moment of indulgence, Virgo’s coffee-flavoured chocolate has got you covered.

Libra (September 23 – October 22) – Dark Chocolate Sea Salt

A great salted chocolate nails the perfect balance between sweet and savoury, just like a Libra, who’s all about finding harmony in life’s flavours. This Air sign, ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, seeks fairness and elegance in everything they do. The dark chocolate element adds a touch of sophistication and depth, reflecting Libra’s refined taste.

Libras believe in fairness and equality. Dark chocolate sea salt embodies this principle. Neither the chocolate nor the sea salt overpowers the other. They exist in perfect harmony, creating a flavor experience that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Picture a Libra indulging in this chocolate, eyes closed, savouring every moment—a poetic experience that resonates with their romantic nature. Dreamy and balanced, it’s a perfect treat for the Libra palate!

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21) Extra Dark Chocolate Raspberry  

Scorpios are mysterious, alluring, and, let’s face it, pretty sexy. But beneath their tough exterior lies a sweetness you might not expect. Think of them like extra dark chocolate—80% cacao or more. Sure, it’s intense and bitter at first, but then you discover the sweet surprise inside, just like these water signs. And adding raspberry? It’s like uncovering a secret delight that perfectly complements their complex nature.

Scorpios crave intense experiences, and this chocolate combination delivers. The dark chocolate is bold and uncompromising, mirroring your passionate nature. The raspberries add a layer of complexity, a hint of sweetness that keeps things interesting, just like your enigmatic personality.

The percentages on chocolate bars reflect the ratio of cacao products to sugar; the higher the percentage, the more bitter a chocolate will be.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21) – Ginger Lemon Chocolate

This archer always hits the mark! Just like the layers in every Sagittarius, the sweet, sour, and spice in ginger lemon chocolate highlights their complexity. Ruled by Jupiter, the planet of expansion and adventure, Sagittarians are known for their optimistic and adventurous spirit. 

Sagittarius’s elemental fire resonates with ginger’s warmth, adding a fiery kick to their personality. Meanwhile, the zesty lemon reflects their lively and energetic nature, always seeking new experiences and excitement. It’s a surprising mix, but who else but creative chocolatiers (maybe even some Sagittariuses themselves?) could dream up such a bold flavour combo as ginger lemon chocolate? 

Ginger adds just the right kick to chocolate, imitating the shock factor of the spiciness from a chilli but still being bright enough to dance on the palette instead of making the consumer want to reach for a glass of water. 

-Jason Vishnefske

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19) – Caramel Chocolate

Traditional, classic, but irresistible—that’s a Capricorn and caramel chocolate for you! Ruled by Saturn, the planet of discipline and ambition, Capricorns are known for their practicality, determination, and unwavering work ethic. 

Capricorns are reflected in this pairing well, as they add depth, warmth, and wisdom to any interaction. Their Earth-elemental nature resonates with the grounded sweetness of caramel, symbolising their reliability and steadfastness. So, when you bite into caramel chocolate, think of the dependable and comforting presence of a Capricorn by your side.

Caramel, despite its sweetness, adds a depth and a warmth to chocolate. It’s why this flavour combination is one of the most popular and has stood the test of time.

-Jason Vishnefske

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18) – Lavender Chocolate

Imaginative, unconventional, and always marching to the beat of their own drum— that’s an Aquarius for you! Ruled by Uranus, the planet of innovation and individuality, Aquarians are known for their forward-thinking nature and unique perspective on the world. 

Lavender has a complex aroma and flavor, with hints of floral sweetness and a touch of earthy bitterness. This mirrors the Aquarian’s enigmatic nature. They’re not easily categorized, and lavender chocolate reflects this complexity, leaving a lingering intrigue on the palate.

Aquarians are often drawn to the ethereal and otherworldly. Lavender, with its association with calmness and relaxation, evokes a sense of peace and tranquility, mirroring their ability to see the bigger picture and their connection to the universe. It’s a flavor that takes them on a journey beyond the ordinary.

Lavender, or any floral, is a subtle flavour when added to chocolate. It’s still distinct, however, and anyone with a creative spirit will appreciate it.
