Overall rating: 3.5/5
Summary: It really is chunky chocolatey...lots of choco chunks in here, so I'm pleased with that. The texture is complex, which is nice. It's a filling, dense bar and super sweet. I like that it's not at all sticky, so having this as a mid-morning desk snack works really well. My issue now is that I can't seem to find this particular flavour on the website, so I'm not sure if it has been discontinued. I know it was recalled due to package mislabelling, but not sure when it will be back on the market.
