Welcome to Day #9 of Chocolate and The Sea Theme Week.
Today's novelty chocolate gift set from Chocolates Unlimited by Denise was inspired by and designed for fishermen (and women). The five realistic looking fishing essentials/items in this box included dark chocolate versions of a Gone Fishin' sign, a fish, reel and sinker. The fifth item was a small packet of gummy worms (bait)--a fun addition to this kit, that I did not taste.
The company offers a wide variety of different novelty and different molded/shaped chocolate items.
This dark chocolate was good, with no dramatic low lights or high lights. The cocoa was alkalized and therefore not overly acidic, or bitter. I have no complaints. (It was tastier than dark chocolate syrup, which often gets a similar treatment.)
The texture and flavor were smooth.
Though, having been spoiled by craft chocolate makers, the melt was not quite as buttery/rich as some other bars, partly because of use of less expensive oils vs. added cocoa butter.
