It holds no pretensions of being a serious chocolate bar, but then, neither do I. I would also like to remind you that the Kinder Bueno was first discovered in the Robinson family by UB when we were all in Ireland--make sure the KB celebrates your return to the land. In honor of your departure, I included a PB&J bar in my latest Fresh Direct order. I will eat it and think of you. xoxoxoxoxoxMargarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14716333850070977871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118848130269459886.post-76485889284908989722009-08-19T21:40:06.351-07:002009-08-19T21:40:06.351-07:00Quit trying to do what I doQuit trying to do what I doHelen Goodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347398989645518331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118848130269459886.post-35420357024604956362009-08-19T15:52:05.700-07:002009-08-19T15:52:05.700-07:00As one of the aforementioned champions of this bar...As one of the aforementioned champions of this bar, I'd like to throw in my two cents:<br /><br />I sometimes think of chocolate in the same way I think about coffee. Not a huge departure I think (aside from the mix-ins, duh). But with that comparison in mind, I think I can defend the acidity or darker flavoring. Sometimes bitter is better, especially in my opinion, when balanced with the lighter, less snappy texture. I found myself challenged with the flavor of this chocolate, and the subtle addition of the smooth banana taste softened the dark bite.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17444244865888110613noreply@blogger.com
