Ghirardelli sent me some of their Intense Dark chocolate bars to sample and today I'm going to share my thoughts on their Toffee Interlude bar.
The Toffee Interlude bar is dark chocolate with toffee bits and caramelized almonds. As you can see, the bar is well tempered and nicely molded with the Ghirardelli logo on each square. The thin, square sections include a generous ammount of small bits of almond and toffee. The chocolate is bold, with a lot of fruit and a bit of tabacco at the finish. The melt is smooth and satisfying. I like the inclusion of the toffee and almonds which give it some nice texture and a hint of burnt sugar.
Through the end of the year, Ghirardelli has a promotion where they will donate to the National Breast Cancer Foundation when you enter a code found in specially marked boxes.

I used to think Lindt 85% was the best tasting dark chocolate until I tried Ghirardelli's 86% - absolutely heavenly.
