This is a rare treat, a new variety of Bournville chocolate. I’ve always had a soft spot for Bournville; it was probably my first taste of dark chocolate as a kid. I know it’s not gourmet and that most dark chocolates are stronger, but it has full-on cocoa flavour with enough sweetness to keep my sweet tooth happy. Usually, it’s just one of those bars that’s always on the shelves without much fuss, so finding something new and exciting from them was a surprise. I couldn’t resist picking this up, I love nuts and chocolate together.
When I opened the bar, the back revealed a generous amount of hazelnuts, which was a very promising sign. From the front, the pieces looked like regular Bournville squares. I broke one off and was impressed, the hazelnut is packed in, adding great texture and a rich, nutty taste. It pairs beautifully with the darker chocolate, making for a really satisfying flavour. I had one piece, then another… and another. I’ve now had to put the last couple of strips in the fridge for tomorrow, because this stuff is dangerously moreish.
