Welcome to Day #13 of Unique Chocolates Week.

Today's Zotter Hemp Bonbon Dark Chocolate 70% filled with hemp cream (bar) was made in Austria and distributed by Zotter Chocolates US LLC (Fort Myers, FL).

Aroma notes included: dark chocolate, botanical (malt, oatstraw, sunflower seed) and vanilla wafer.

Texture: creamy, almost silken dark chocolate coating, with a creamy, layered filling, the thickest layer being slightly green in color (that contained hemp seeds).

Flavor notes included: smooth dark chocolate, sweet layered filling with caramelized, very finely ground hemp seeds, praline, and vanilla.

I enjoyed the way that hemp seeds were skillfully used to make this chocolate. The bar may appeal to those who like dark chocolate, to those who favor confections, to those who enjoy novelty chocolates, and even to those who might be curious about hemp -- but don't want any THC. No small feat to satisfy all of these groups.
