Chocolatier: Chocolove
Flavor: Salted Almond Butter in Dark Chocolate
What I Paid: $3.79
Time for another Chocolove review! I've never had a bad bar from this Boulder-based chocolatier, so I have high expectations every time I review one of their products! Today were going to try one of their sweet and salty flavors: Salted Almond Butter in Dark Chocolate.
This bar is a 55% cocoa chocolate filled with a salted almond butter. The chocolate used in this bar is rich, lightly tannic, and a tad buttery. It starts strongly sweet and slightly fruity, and ends with a nice strong cocoa flavor that has just touch of coffee to it. The almond butter filling in this bar is equal parts crumbly and creamy. As the name of the product would suggest, it is strongly salted, but it also has a fresh, roasty, toasty, and mildy floral almond flavor that is quite delightful.
My only complaint about this bar is the same complaint I've had with Chocolove's other filled bars: I wish there was a tad more filling. The bold flavor of the chocolate used drowns out the flavor of the almond filling slightly. Yeah, you can still taste the almond, but the chocolate definitely dominates. Seriously, like even 10% more filling would make a world of difference here!
That said, I still liked this bar! It's a great combination of sweet, salty, and nutty that works pretty dang well. It 100% gets a thumbs up from me!
