100g of thick, 72% dark chocolate with whole almonds scattered throughout. The almonds are roasted, ya know, if you care. “Roasted almonds and chocolate are made for each other”. Well, if anyone would know, Hotel Chocolat would.

So these bars look tiny, but they’re bloody thick. That has its ups and downs, on the up it means they can use whole almonds, on the down it means when you take a chunk of this, there’s a lot of bitter dark chocolate in your mouth, and because it’s so small there isn’t a lot of space for the almonds.

And there’s the crux of the matter really. The chocolate-almond combo isn’t much to my liking. Because I’m not the biggest dark chocolate fan, to keep me interested in this bar, there needed to be a nice amount of almonds, but I didn’t think there were. So sometimes I had a big mouthful of dark chocolate which isn’t really appreciated.

I guess if you’re a dark chocolate fan you’d have more fun with this than I did, but it wasn’t really for me.
