A Mini Chocolate Review

Lindt chocolate is a household name for chocolates. I've tried several of their truffles and enjoyed them, especially the dark chocolate ones. So imagine my delight when I received some yummy Lindt chocolates for my birthday from a dear friend. Right there and then we sampled some sweet Strawberry Cheesecake bar. Decadent milk chocolate forms a firm shell around soft sweet strawberry filling that surprisingly tastes a lot like strawberry cheesecake. The texture is fairly close and while it's sweet, it isn't overpoweringly so. I was able to break the bar into smaller bite-sized bits and share them - the baby particularly loved that. The ingredient list is a moderate length with a few items that make me wonder if I should look them up on Google to find out what exactly they are, but I kinda don't want to in case they're something nasty. That would really ruin the charm of the chocolate for me. There were only twenty grams of sugar which was surprising because it tasted like it should be a bigger number of grams. I found the cute designs on the chocolate adorable and the packaging was hilarious. All flirty and inviting. If only it had been dark chocolate.

I'd say a yummy eight out of ten stars is in order for this bar.

I also received two sticks of Lindt chocolates, both milk. One is a yummy-looking Cookies 'n Cream flavor that I plan to share with my husband since that is his favorite blend of chocolates. The second was Caramel Brownie. With such a delicious name, you picture a yummy {preferably dark} chocolate bar with a truffle and caramel filling that melts in your mouth and makes everything so much better. Instead you get a thicker bit of milk chocolate with a dab of caramel in the middle. It was very disappointing. Tasty and easy to share, but disappointing.


So I'll round up and say five stars out of ten.
