Bahlsen Crispini Crunchy Choco

September 17th, 2008 by Terry

Hell if I know what the title of this is. I found this in my local Tesco Express, just sitting near the checkouts and picked it up without even looking at it. Their impulse buy plan worked! After finally looking at the pack, the entire thing is in German, well, except for the ingredients on the back.

So these are crunchy biscuits with chocolate cream filling (14%), sprinkled with crispies (8.2%) and covered in milk chocolate (40%). Looking through the ingredients shows that these also have almonds and hazelnuts too, though they’re literally right at the bottom of the list. So let’s open this up.

When I first took those two pieces out of the bag, my reaction was “oh wow, they’re melting already”, but no it turns out these are actually just really greasy. To be honest, it’s really off putting, but I’ll gloss over it for now. So as you can see the puffed rice really sticks out of these things, they also have a biscuity base and the chocolate cream filling is between these two, with the entire thing then covered in milk chocolate.

So these have a biscuity, chocolatey taste. I couldn’t quite put my finger on the chocolate taste, I guess it’s chocolatey and creamy, but I think it was quite buttery as well, which would explain the greasiness and, after examining the ingredients again, also explain the butter oil they use.

So yeah, these are actually really good. I can see myself buying them on impulse again. Not for everyone what with their greasy feel, and slightly buttery taste might be off putting, but I enjoyed them. I certainly finished the bag wanting more, which is always a good sign. Worth a look if you can find them.

    OMG, that name…! I bet they use the same name to sell it in Germany.
    I have to check for these when I’m back at Christmas. After all Bahlsen is from my hometown. :)

    Sylke - Definitely worth a try if you can find them. Terrible feel to them but very tasty, see if you can find anything else from them as well.
