Last week I wrote about my experience with a virgin chocolate bar. For those of you that read my blog, you’re welcome for the double entendre. For those of you who didn’t – get your mind out of the gutter!
The Theo vanilla nib dark chocolate bar is chocolatey and crunchy and, yes, vanilla-y. The crunch mostly comes from the roasted nibs, but I suspect that the ground vanilla bean contributes as well.
This bar is 65% cacao so it starts with a healthy dose of rich cocoa notes. The chocolate has some muted spicy and floral flavors that peak out after the vanilla dissipates. The chocolate is delicious.
