Recently Lake Champlain Chocolates sent me a bunch of their bars to try out and I am slowly starting to work my way through them. First up we have two nutty items -- the Triple Nut Milk Chocolate bar and Milk Chocolate Macadamias.
The Triple Nut bar is sweet milk chocolate combined with salted almonds, pistachios and cashews. The chocolate is very sweet, quite smooth and a little milky. The nuts are chopped up into small pieces and while they are fresh and crunchy, I lost the individual taste of each nut. Overall this bars was tasty -- more of a dessert bar for me than chocolate. I prefer darker chocolate and a single nut -- bigger pieces are better. . .
Which brings me to the macadamia nuts -- YUM! These really hit the spot for me. There is a thin, but substantial coating of what appears to be a slightly darker milk chocolate -- just enough to give you a sweet, sugary hit before you bite into the salty, fresh, crunchy nut. Perfect combo! These were simply not safe in my drawer and I finished off an entire package of them before the week was up.
I received my Lake Champlain chocoaltes from the company for review, but you can purchase them at their website and many stores. More Lake Champlain Chocolate bar reviews to follow!
Like I always say, Cadbury's and Mars ain't got nothing on the real deal. That being organic produce. And nuts and chocolate is a really nice mix.
