Welcome to Day #6 of Chocolate and Coffee Theme Week.
Today's Coffee Peanut Bark was from Ragged Coast Chocolates (Westbrook, Maine).
Aroma notes included: milk chocolate, peanuts and very faint vanilla and coffee (latte).
The textural blend included: creamy smooth milk chocolate topped with softly crunchy peanuts, and tiny, firm/hard granules of coffee.
Flavor notes included: rich, sweet and creamy and cacao-buttery (whole) milk chocolate, peanut, and occasional tiny bits of roasted coffee. The vanilla and (Maine) sea salt were both subtle and enhanced the slightly addictive quality of this Coffee Peanut Bark confection.*
I liked the relatively short list of ingredients and use of Single Origin Latin American (milk) chocolate.
Ragged Coast product description: "...slightly smoky flavor of Maine-roasted coffee...percolates through organic peanuts, Maine sea salt and luscious milk chocolate."
Ingredients: Single Origin Latin American Milk Chocolate (sugar, cocoa butter, whole milk powder, cocoa liquor, soy lecithin, natural vanilla), Organic Coffee Beans, Organic Peanuts, Maine Sea Salt."
Allergen-related information: "Contains: Peanuts" "Allergens: Soy, Nuts, Milk, and Coconut."
Note: while the coffee is not immediately obvious in appearance/strength, I did get a bit of a caffeine buzz from this.
