Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Summary: Intense is the word. I think this is what real dark chocolate is meant to taste like. It has a distinct bitterness to it, but it's well-balanced with sweetness -- there's a real heavy depth to the flavour that I've never encountered before. It's a soft (only very slight brittle to it) chew, which was nice. I used it to bake some double chocolate chip cookies and they turned out wonderfully!
