The Green & Black Organic Hazelnut Currant bar is basically a Ferrero Rocher for people who don’t want to admit that they like a candy -- ubiquitous in the most unlikely places such as drugstores and the corner Asian market -- that is now associated with “candy gifts from cheapos” (especially Asians, from my experience). Why? Because this tastes exactly like a Ferrero Rocher, except a little less oversweet, plus the yuppie plus of antioxidant boost of currant bits that merely recognized to my tongue as “some random sweet berry bits”.
The dark chocolate quality is average – I don’t claim to taste the subtleties like “woodsy flavors from the __(insert South American country here)__ with a hint of cherry, and perhaps a little nuttiness of the cashew nut as well”. But I've tasted better. In fact, the abundance of hazelnut and fruits actually disguises the dark chocolate flavor, which I feel is the best part of a dark chocolate bar.
But my roommate liked it, and according to my data 50% of those surveyed like it. So if you have food points to spare, grab em' while you can from The Perk in Von der Heydn.
I don't typically enjoy dark chocolate as much as milk chocolate but I feel that only dark chocolate should be used when you are trying to get taste that intense flavor of the chocolate itself.
ReplyDeleteAnd for those of you who aren't into the bittersweet taste, the hazelnuts and current do a great job of balancing out the intense flavor.
..did I mention that it is organic?
