Then I had the Toffee Crunch bar, and it does live up to it's name. I've never really been a fan of crunchies in my chocolate, but the flavors worked well together. I feel like this is a high end candy bar.
I also just had to try their Intense Pear bar. I honestly couldn't imagine how they would work pear into a chocolate bar and make it taste good. The bar has little pieces of almond and dried pear in it. I think the chocolate also has some kind of pear flavoring to it. It's interesting to say the least. Lindt has a lot of flavored bars and I think I'm going to try a few more of them.
Hey, you've discovered my favorite "bargain" chocolate! I actually love Lindt's plain dark chocolate, the 85% one. I freeze it and snack on it; it's a sort of guilty pleasure, but at that high a percentage of dark chocolate, there are antioxidants and stuff. :)
ReplyDeleteYou should try the coconut one! it might change your mind about the texture of coconut. :)
ReplyDeleteAs for cocoa percentages, as far as I understand it the percent is just the ratio of cocoa solids AND cocoa butter (ie cocoa product) to everything else (milk, sugar). It's hard to say how much cocoa is actually in a bar of 85% chocolate since the percentage includes the cocoa butter which could be more or less depending on how they make it, but sure antioxidants away!!! :)
