Sometimes you just fancy a really good fruit and nut chocolate bar, and I decided to go all out with this posh Green & Black's Organic Hazelnut and Currant 50% Dark Chocolate Bar. It's essentially fruit and nut, right?
I opened the bar and immediately liked the packaging. It comes in a paper wrapper with foil underneath, which felt properly old school in the best possible way.
The aroma was rich and chocolatey, and I could already see plenty of hazelnuts packed throughout the bar.
The first taste was excellent. Although it's a 50% dark chocolate, it is still smooth, creamy and sweet enough to be approachable. There's a rich cocoa flavour with an almost floral edge that makes it taste a little more sophisticated than your average chocolate bar.
The hazelnuts are fairly finely chopped, so you get their lovely nutty flavour in every bite rather than huge crunchy chunks. The currants add little bursts of fruity sweetness that balance the richness of the chocolate really well.
Sometimes you just need a classic flavour done properly, and Green & Black's have absolutely delivered here.
