Mackie’s of Scotland is a company I associate firstly with ice cream. They then went on to make crisps, which is diversifying quite a bit, it isn’t a similar market. When I was in Lidl I spotted this Mackie’s of Scotland Mint 70% Cocoa Chocolate bar which means they have entered the confectionary market too. Basically Mackie’s of Scotland seem to make all the treat foods I really like, which is fine by me.
This mint bar is a dark chocolate bar mixed with mint crystals. I opened up the wrapper and was pleased to see a very smart looking bar inside. My bar was broke (this was due to the journey it took in my rucksack) but the pieces were all embossed with Mackie’s letter and icons, and it looked quite posh. The aroma was amazing, really strong mint and cocoa and I couldn’t wait to give it a try.
The pieces snapped nicely and the flavour was quite strong of dark chocolate, but as you chewed the sweeter tones comes through as did a lovely rush of mint. The chocolate wasn’t too thick when it melted, but it did coat the tongue nicely. I would certainly look for other flavours from them as this bar was a hit.
It turns out Mackie’s are good at whatever they put their mind to be it haggis crisps or Mint 70% Cocoa Chocolate bars.
