Hot Cross Bunny Bar (Paul A Young) By @Cinabar

As famous chocolatiers go Paul A Young is one of the most prestigious, I’ve seen him on ITV and the BBC this Easter talking chocolate. I decided I would investigate what he sold online and there I found this Hot Cross Bunny Bar chocolate which sounded like the perfect Bank Holiday Monday treat.

The Hot Cross Bunny Bar consists of four large pieces, one side is decorated with a white chocolate and a cute bunny pattern which is very prettily decorated. The main chocolate is a 40% cocoa milk chocolate flavoured with hot cross buns. I broke a piece off to try, the hot cross bun flavour was infused in the chocolate and there was a nice bit of crunch from a biscuit like crumbs. The flavour has lots of seasonal spice and I was very much enjoying the cinnamon. There was a little bit of heat to in the flavour and I couldn’t quite place what was causing it, I thought perhaps black pepper. The spices blended really well with the milk chocolate and there was still lots of rich cocoa in the taste. This Paul A Young Hot Cross Bunny Bar is pure luxury and a little bit of Easter chocolate fun too. It was a nice way to finish the long bank holiday weekend with this Easter chocolate, and at least the rest of the working week only has four days.
