Welcome to Day #4 of Chocolate & Coffee Theme Week.

Today's first bar -- a Latte Milk chocolate was manufactured by Venchi S.P.A. (Castelletto Stura (CN), Italy). This milk chocolate ("Latte" bar) did not contain coffee.

The second bar, from French maker Francois Pralus (Roanne, France), was a Carre de Cafe coffee bar made with Arabica coffee--with little to no cocoa solids. Together, chose these two European bars to represent cacao and coffee.

Latte Milk (bar)

Aroma and flavor notes included: sweet, creamy milk chocolate with faint vanilla.

Texture: creamy and indulgent, as advertised. 

I appreciated the creamy, whole milk melt and mouthfeel. The sweetness level was a little too high for me; but this will likely appeal to those with a sweet tooth who enjoy creamy vanilla and chocolate desserts.

Ingredients: Sugar, Whole Milk Powder, Cocoa Butter, Unsweetened Chocolate, Anhydrous Milk Fat. Emulsifier: Soy Lecithin, Natural Vanilla Flavor. 

Allergen-related information: Contains Milk and Soy. May Contain: Tree Nuts.

Carre de Cafe (bar)

Aroma and flavor notes included: beautifully aromatic coffee, creamy coffee flavor with a hint of smooth chocolate. 

Texture: smooth, creamy and satisfying

I loved the authentic coffee and cream aroma, the single origin (Brazil) Arabica coffee flavors and creamy texture. If you like coffee, I'd highly recommend trying this bar. It looks like a chocolate bar, and it may even fool you into thinking you're eating one too.
