Welcome to Day #9 of Chocolate, Warm Spices & Maple Theme Week.
Aroma and flavor notes included: an initial "artificial" flavor, dark milk chocolate; fruit (strong pear, faint kiwi and barely detectable green grape + celery); as well as vanillin/vanilla, egg, cream and warm spice flavorings.
Given the initial strong, sharp/tangy pear-like flavor, I wondered if this bar (that was in a sealed inner wrapper) was "off" or had expired. (I couldn't find any expiration date on the package.)
Happily, after re-tasting this bar a few hours after the package had been opened, this chocolate got tastier with more authentic eggnog flavor taking center stage after the "pear" flavors receded.
Texture: smooth, relatively creamy texture with no detectable spice particles (spice "grit").
I appreciated the attractive packaging and the fact this chocolate was gluten free.
