Dark Chocolate with Orange Peel (67%)
11.4.05
The chocolate itself is… hmmm. One might have said, “It’s too chalky!” Until one realized it was a 67%. And one didn’t realize it was a 67% because it wasn’t at all bitter. Overall, the chocolate flavor didn’t quite pop, but it was very good. And the candied orange peel had a nice flavor that blended well with that of the chocolate. A solid, but not outstanding, creation by Chocolat Weiss.

Dark Chocolate (64%) with Fruit and Nuts
1.4.06
The best thing about this bar was the crunch. It had a very pleasing ratio of nuts to chocolate. The chocolate itself was good, though a little brittle and a little bitter. The fruit and nut flavor didn’t really appear until halfway through the bar, and even then there wasn’t much complexity to get excited about.
