Welcome to Day #10 of Unique Chocolates Week, including chocolates with unique flavor inclusions...like the sweet potato in today's bar.
Today's "French Toast" 58% dark chocolate with sugar crystals and cinnamon (bar) was from Mission Chocolate (Sao Paolo, Brazil).
Aroma notes included: subtle, smooth dark chocolate, and very faint warm spice.
Texture: wonderfully thin bar that broke with a quiet snap. Tiny, crunchy sugar crystals shone brightly on one side. The chocolate was smooth, and relatively creamy. The sweet potato was totally incorporated and, judging from the mouthfeel, contributed to the sense of almost milk-like smoothness.
Flavor notes included: dark milk chocolate (there was no milk) with tiny sweet bursts of sugar, and almost undetectable traces of warm spice (cinnamon).
I liked the thinness of this bar, the well-executed sugar crystals, and the skillfully incorporated sweet potato (powder). It was very tasty. I would definitely try more sweet potato chocolate from this maker.
Ingredients: Cacao mass, organic sugar, sweet potato powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon.
