I wasn’t too fond of the ordinary Bournville from Cadbury, and so I’m not holding out much for this, a Bournville that’s even darker than normal.

This seems like a real cash-in product to me, an ordinary Bournville, which is dark chocolate, made a little bit darker, and then foil wrapped and packaged nicely, and sold for a premium price. Well done Cadbury, I bought it, but if it’s no good then I won’t be recommending anyone else does.

The bar is made from 60% cocoa solids, which is sort of dark, and probably the most that I can deal with without it being too bitter. It’s described as being intense without being too bitter and it smooth enough to melt slowly. They also talk about anti-oxidants, but let’s not go down the Hershey road again…

The bar comes in a tablette form, made up of 20 small breakable pieces, it looks and smells quite dark, though strangely it’s not actually that bad. It’s quite sweet, and whilst still maintains the dark flavour and intensity, it’s sweet and light enough for me to be able to eat it like ordinary milk chocolate.

As far as taste, as I said it’s ordinary dark chocolate. I’m terrible at discerning between types of dark chocolate, unlike milk chocolate, so I really can’t be more accurate than that. Despite not liking the idea of this though, it turned out to be a good bar, dark enough to make it…well, dark, and yet sweet enough for me to eat it.

The 100g bar has 540 calories, 7.5g Protein, 38.4g Carbohydrates (36g of which sugars) and 39.2g Fat (24.2g of which saturates). I recommend this to those of you who like me, aren’t too fond of dark chocolate, hopefully (again like me) this may well start off a new love for you.
