So we’ve had milk chocolate Rocky Road, white chocolate Strawberries & Cream, and now dark chocolate Chilli & Orange. I didn’t actually plan that out but it works well. This is a 72% cocoa solids dark chocolate bar, with chilli and orange blended in.

Whoa wait, what’s this? Two slabs now in the same pack? What’s going on here then? Well I guess they learned that having dark chocolate in those huge slabs was a bad idea and so they split it up, so we now have two 50g slabs and frankly this should be much easier to eat than the previous beast.

As you can see the bars are really bloody dark. They have a very polished look about them but they’re not without their scuffs and scrapes. Despite the fact I received these at the same time as my other bars, the expiration date was actually three months longer than those bars as well, just thought I’d let you know.

So let’s get to the flavour. Well, orange is definitely there, the bar has a very good balance between the orange and dark chocolate flavours. Despite being 72% cocoa solids it’s really not that bad at all. The orange is a good, deep flavour, completely unlike Terry’s or what have you. The chilli on the other hand is a bit of a disappointment. Now granted I dump tabasco sauce on everything (I almost put some on this bar), but I wasn’t able to taste it here at all. From time to time when it melted there was a small tingly sensation, but nothing more than that.

Overall it’s a good bar. It does exactly what it says on the tin, and to a good standard. The only negativity is the lack of kick with the chilli, and that it felt a little gimmicky, but other than that everything was pretty darn nice.
