Divine Milk Chocolate Bar

May 22nd, 2008 by Terry

Only two more Divine bars after this one I’m sure you’ll be glad to know. The ordinary milk chocolate bar was something I was looking forward to, at its usual 100g size, this boasts a 20% minimum cocoa solids, and everything being fairtrade as per usual.

Actually, there’s something about this bar that confuses me. It has fairtrade sugar listed as its first ingredient, then sugar (as in, just sugar) listed as its fourth ingredient behind Fairtrade cocoa butter and dried cream. Two types of sugar? One that’s not fairtrade? Very strange, is there an explanation to this?

Anyway, brown theme again, I guess Divine ran out of colours eventually, can’t blame them I suppose, same pattern stuff that’s on all their bars too (there is an explanation for this, in case you care). Moving on…

My love for ordinary milk chocolate bars has disintegrated a little since I started this. Nowadays I find them plain, boring, I yearn for something with more flavour, that just does something different. This bar…doesn’t do that, but for a milk chocolate bar it’s pretty good, it’s certainly better than Cadbury and Galaxy, and it’s on a par with Green & Black’s, which is where it should about be.

Overall, a decent bar. These bars are about the same price as Green & Black’s and that’s where this one ranks, so I can’t really fault Divine. It’s just a normal milk chocolate bar, and it’s hard to get excited over. Do you go with G&B’s organic stuff or Divine’s fairtrade stuff? That’s really just down to you, but you can’t go wrong with either.
