Welcome to Day #3 of Chocolate & Passion Fruit Theme Week.
Today's Dark Chocolate Filled with Passion Fruit (filled bar) was manufactured for World Market by Astor Chocolate Corp. (Lakewood, NJ).
Aroma notes included: dark chocolate with very faint wood and black pepper and very faint tropical/passion fruit.
Texture: firm dark chocolate surrounded a thin layer of soft/silky (almost flowing caramel-like) fruity filling.
Flavor notes included: smooth dark chocolate (with some enjoyable complex notes) filled with a thin layer of soft and quite sweet passion fruit filling (with faint caramel and tropical fruit/and sweet citric notes).
Warning: this can be somewhat addictive if you eat this if you're hungry.
This was a sweet and tasty filled dark chocolate bar. Sadly, the long list of ingredients (additives, preservatives) and the extra sweetness (sugars) kept me from eating more.
