Welcome to Day #7 of Chocolate and Horses Theme Week, and Day #2 of Chocolate and Honey Week.
Today's two, gold-foil wrapped "Dressage Classics" - Dark Chocolate & Almond Buttercrunch Toffee pieces were from Harbor Sweets (Salem, MA). They were part of a 3-flavor, 16-piece English Assortment box.
Aroma notes for these equestrian-related chocolates included: sweet dark chocolate with faint caramel/toffee, vanilla and oxalis (tart green citric) notes.
Smooth, uniform dark chocolate formed this medallion shaped piece with the image of an erect rider and stepping horse. I enjoyed the crunchy toffee core with tiny almond bits.
Flavor notes included: sweet dark chocolate, toffee, very faint vanilla..and peppermint notes. (One of the other three flavors in this assortment box was peppermint. And peppermint can easily waft over into adjacent chocolates.)
Ingredients: "dark chocolate (sugar, chocolate liquor, chocolate liquor processed with alkali, cocoa butter, butterfat (milk), soy lecithin, vanilla), cream (light cream and sodium phosphate), tapioca syrup (tapioca starch), evaporated milk (milk, 0.5% or less of: dipotassium phosphate, carrageenan, vitamin D3), sugar, light brown sugar, butter (cream (milk), salt), wildflower honey, vanilla salt, soy lecithin, baking soda." (These also contained almonds.)
