Welcome to Day #18 of Chocolate & Coffee Theme Week.
Today's Coffee Toffee Crunch Milk Chocolate 42% cacao (bar) was handcrafted in small batches by Rhyme & Reason Chocolate Company LLC (Greensboro, NC).
Aroma notes included: attractive, aromatic mocha and brown sugar and butter toffee
Texture: relatively smooth blend of dark milk chocolate, coffee and almost fully incorporated tiny, buttery toffee bits
Flavor notes included: smooth dark chocolate and relatively rich, smooth specialty coffee, accented with authentic buttery toffee bits. This bar had a sweet, politely robust coffee and dark milk chocolate finish.
Many toffee bars teeter on the edge of candy; this one (happily for me, a dark chocolate lover) did not. This had the flavor complexity and depth I dream of in a chocolate toffee offering.
I appreciated the short list of quality ingredients and lack of additives. And the fact that cocoa beans were the number one ingredient (and not sugar). Thank you to Elizabeth Tully, founder and chief chocolate maker at Rhyme & Reason for a bar that both dark and milk chocolate lovers can appreciate.
