While at my favorite grocery store a few weeks ago, I spotted a couple of fancy new bars. I had to pick up one of each for review here. The first bar is a 70% dark chocolate filled with black sea salt caramel.
The bar here is rather small at 3 oz. but the price was right ($2 if I remember correctly) and small is good in this case because the caramel filling is very fluid -- completely leaking out when the first square is broken off. It's a bar best eaten in one sitting.
The chocolate is a good quality -- creamy and well tempered without any strong flavors. The caramel tastes of cream and lightly caramelized sugar with a salty edge. A little less flavorful than I usually like -- more dulce de leche than burnt sugar. A sprinkling of sea salt on the back of the bar gives a hint of crunch and enhances the flavor of the chocolate.
All in all, a very nice bar at a very good price.
