Welcome to Day #1 of Chocolate and Tea Theme Week.
Today's Maeve Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Chai Milk Chocolate Truffle Bar was produced by Seattle Chocolate Co. (Seattle, WA).*
Aroma and flavor notes for this sweet confection of a bar included: very sweet milk chocolate infused with authentic-tasting pumpkin spices (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, allspice) and vanilla. (The black tea was very subtle.)
Texture: soft, seductively thick and creamy (truffle-like) texture. (This bar will not break with a snap. It had a very creamy milk chocolate fudge texture that I could slice with a butter knife.)
I think most milk chocolates are too sweet. (I do prefer dark chocolates.) But then, as if to show the addictive power of sugar, I find myself devouring a whole milk chocolate bar (especially the ones with salt and/or ones with chai/pumpkin spices and aromatic tea blends). Reminder to self: don't eat bars like this if you're hungry.
I appreciated the use of real spices and black tea in this truffle bar, additives and emulsifiers were kept to a minimum (soy lecithin), and that this bar was gluten-free.
Ingredients: milk chocolate (cane sugar, whole milk powder, cocoa butter*, cocoa mass*, organic soy lecithin, natural vanilla), coconut oil, sea salt, cinnamon, cloves, ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, organic black tea, allspice.
Allergen-related information: Contains Milk and Soy. This product is manufactured in a plant that processes milk, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, egg, and wheat products.
