Setting the scene - Chocolate reviewer meets chocolate bar.
First impressions - Smart outer packaging with gold lettering make a good impression. A bit old school, stuffy and colours not really to my liking. A cheeky transparent window is catching my attention though......a little tease of what's to come maybe. Wording is all in French so, some things may get lost in translation. This is a new bar from Lindt's Passion range using nibbed almonds and bourbon flavoured vanilla from Madagascar. In fact it is so new it isn't even featured on their website?

Aroma - very strong vanilla with undertones of bourbon. Not always a good thing on a first date. How rude is that smelling of alcohol on a first date! The smell is very sickly sweet and a bit cloying.
Naked Chocolate - This is our first date and we're already naked.....well the chocolate is, not me. Who do you think I am! The bar is studded with nibbed almonds and dusted with vanilla seeds. The strong bourbon aroma is now actually very appealing. The mix of textures, rough nuts and creamy sweet chocolate is delicious and I'm already demolishing this bar.
Conclusion - After this little soiree I think we'll be going out on a second date! Overall slightly too sweet for me but undoubtedly enjoyable, 6/10.
I'd certainly give it a try, sounds like the kind of chocolate I'd like.

Yes, if you can find it in this country it will be worth trying. I'm going to try a few more in their Passion range. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThis sounds lovely, where did you find it? I've tried the salt and caramel one in this range before and it was very nice, I foind that at TK Maxx.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree with Ana, funny review :)
A friend of a friend found it on a trip to Switzerland for me. I will ask Lindt when it will appear in the UK. Salt and Caramel sounds good. Thanks for your comments.
