Welcome to Day #1 of Chocolate and Honey Theme Week, including chocolates with honey as well as a few chocolates with honey-like tasting notes.
Today's Almond Honey Dark Chocolate (bar) was manufactured by Lindt & Sprungli USA) Inc. (Stratham, NH).
Aroma notes for this Swiss-inspired chocolate were true to the description and included: floral honey, dark chocolate and faint nut.
Texture: smooth dark chocolate with crunchy bits of almond.
Taste: relatively bold, yet smooth, dark chocolate, honey, very faint floral (mostly in the aroma), and subtle almond.
What I liked: flavorful, honey notes; no off notes; dark, without being too acidic or bitter.
While it tasted darker than 47% cocoa (more like 60%--which I liked), it was also fairly sweet (sugar was the number one ingredient). The sugar gave this a dark chocolate and honey candy-like flavor.
Ingredients: Sugar, Chocolate, Caramelized Almonds (Almonds, Sugar, Honey, Cocoa Butter), Cocoa Butter, Milk fat, Soy Lecithin (Emulsifier), Natural Flavor.
Allergen-related information: Contains Almonds, Milk, Soy. May Contain Other Tree Nuts.
