Bartons alcohol-free, milk chocolate rendition of a pomegranate chocolate martini was nicely packaged, with a bar easily broken into 8 squares for tasting. The consistency of the squares was smooth; however, I found the artificial flavors used in this bar a bit overwhelming. This is the only offering in Bartons Exquisite Chocotini line that I've tasted to date; I may try one of their other (Strawberry Lemonade, Black Raspberry, or Mojito) Chocotini bars in the future.
Today was Day #5 of Chocolate and Pomegranate Theme Week.
In 2006, my daughter bet I couldn't eat a different chocolate each day for a year. I enjoyed that year so much that, after 18+ years, I'm still eating a different chocolate every day. Happily, even after 6,600+ chocolates, there are still many more to try. Thank you to chocolate makers everywhere, and to all who continue to be part of this global adventure.
