We've bumped into the Choc Affair products a few times over the years *Geraniums* and *Bergamot* and agreed that they are rather fantastic. I remarked that they are very gifty - and I got all these as gifts! Will deal with the top one another day - promise.
We actuially dealt with the PEach And Raspberry flavour in a previous review - but frankly it's appeal has only grown on me since then so I'll keep saying how amazing it is.
As you can see here it has lots of bits in it which I love. The other two have lots to compete with.
Fortunately Dark Chocolate, Lime & Sea Salt are three of my favourite things. There is a little crunch here and there but otherwise this is smooth, salty chocolate with a kick of lime and a little salt left in the teeth afterwards. A much darker mood than the light peach melba version, but equally exquisite.
That leaves us with the Mango - which was always going to be the most unusual of the three. I'm not sure I've had Mango chocolate ever!
The smell is amazing - of all the three this is the one that permeated the room, and turned heads. And the taste has enough of the mango to be just as satisfying. The chocolate itself is soft, and much more friendly than the version with the raspberry bits. I think I'd almost say this is more traditional - and certainly has a flavour which I could see being used for eggs and other shaped Easter goods.
I don't think I really have a clear favourite here. I know the raspberry one will be finished first, but I'd be more likely to buy a Melon one as a quirky present for someone. Yet again - Choc Affair have delivered high quality, but more importantly starkly different treats that only pretend to be ordinary chocolate bars in wonderfully crisp gold foil.
