Welcome to Day #6 of Chocolate and Nuts Theme Week.
Today's Rocky Road (bar) was from The Xocolate Bar (Berkeley, CA).
Aroma and flavor notes included: relatively bold but smooth dark chocolate; sweet candied pecans; and soft bites of small, sweet marshmallows. All infused with subtle vanilla.
This bar was an aggregation of smooth, crunchy, and soft textures. It was part dark chocolate and part confection with the candied nuts and marshmallows.
I liked that the (fair trade 70%) dark chocolate helped moderate the sweetness.
Maker's tasting notes: "...crunchy, chewy, salty and sweet...a classic reimagined"
Ingredients: "fair trade dark chocolate* (cacao,* sugar,* sunflower lecithin), pecans, sugar, tapioca syrup, carageenan (sic), soy protein, canola oil, natural vanilla flavor, salt." (* Organic)
