Super Choccoli Broccoli Chocolate (@OmbarChocolate) By @Cinabar
Where do I start with this. On April Fools Day Ombar Chocolate did a fake advert for a new bar of chocolate called Super Choccoli Broccoli. Everyone laughed at how silly the idea was and that was that. Who knows what happened next, I assume they got bored in lockdown and only went and made some. Then they asked on Twitter via a competition who would want some, I said I did because you know I like trying new weird things. I won a bar and it turns out it does really exists because here it is.
So this bar still has all the usual Ombar mission statements, dairy free, vegan, organic etc.n They are an excellent company by the way, their strawberries and cream bar is delish. This is a small bar, thankfully, and it contains 2% broccoli in a 55% cocoa chocolate. The flavour is, as you might imagine is a bit vegetable like, almost cabbage like. It starts with a smooth cocoa, some sweetness, a little acidic and then the broccoli vegetable taste hits. Now it does what it aims to do, it has tried to pair the two flavours and I can’t imagine it being any better, I just can’t imagine it being ever made again. I’m sorry, I’m glad ti was a small bar, it was a fun novelty but a bit weird even for me.
Spectre said they should have called in broccolate, I think he might be on to something. He also requests next year they go for turnips ‘choconip’ and then he could say a favourite ‘turnip for the books’ joke. Plus it would fit in with the whole Animal Crossing thing, I have spent so much of lockdown fretting over turnip prices.
