Deluxe Ruby Chocolate (Lidl) By @Cinabar

Deluxe Ruby Chocolate (Lidl)

I had a recent visit with work to an office I don’t usually go to. Opposite the building was a large branch of Lidl so at lunchtime I had a little exploration. I ended up buying more than intended and even got teased on my return to the office. I had said I was just looking and I didn’t need anything but I ended up returning with a huge bag full of things. Seriously though who doesn’t need Christmas patterned kitchen paper in their life?
In amongst the bag of random items I didn’t know I needed was this bar of Deluxe Ruby Chocolate. This bar is made using Ruby Cocoa Beans which is a luxury cocoa, although Kit Kat have already made a bar with it, of course.

Inside the pack the bar is a lovely shade of pink, not too bright, but the bar looks very smart. The pink is from the cocoa beans there aren’t any colourings in the recipe. Ruby Cocoa beans are naturally pink and as a base for chocolate make something different from the usual white, milk or dark chocolate offerings. The flavour is different too. This chocolate bar has a fruity background flavour that is sharp and berry like. The taste feels like it almost is going to be a raspberry yoghurt, and then the chocolate tones kick in just before that develops. It makes is a sweet but sour mix that works rather well. It is a mature flavour, but the chocolate has a thick melt and still feels really soothing.
If you want to try out the current trend of Ruby Cocoa chocolate this bar is an excellent example, it has a zingy flavour that is very palatable but also very different. Definitely one to hand out as a taster to Christmas visitors if you want to impress.
