The second batch of chocolate bars from CostPlus.
The NewTree Forgiveness (Dark chocolate with lemon).
You’d think this would be good, but the flavor just didn’t do it for me. Part of it was that it was a really hard and dry chocolate. I tried melting it to soften it up but accidentally burnt it, so I don’t know if that would have helped. And I didn’t like it enough to bother trying it again.
The Hachez Cocoa D’Arriba (77% cacao with mango & chili). We normally like the chili ones, and we both do like mangos, but this one kinda flopped. The chili is hardly noticable while the mango is strong – but seems over sweet or artificial (though the ingredient only lists natural mango flavor and nothing artificial).
We also recently tried the World’s Finest Chocolate W.F. Crisp (milk chocolate with crisped rice) that HK’s cousin gave us. I actually liked that, the chocolate was thick and smooth, with a good balance of crunch. The mints and caramels were good too. They disappeared in one day at work, and I couldn’t resist having two or three of each.
We ended up melting the crisp and the D’Arriba to use for fondue, which worked out fairly well.
Still have one more bar to try before stocking up again.
