Review: Astor Key Lime Dark Chocolate

Cocoa content: not specified
Sugars per serving: 29 g (adjusted: 20g)

The bar smells of sweet sweet chocolate, which makes sense given how much sugar is in the bar (however, nutrition information, including the sugars above, was for the whole bar, which is more than a typical serving). It actually smells a bit like an Andes chocolate mint, without the minty smell. The cocoa content wasn't specified on the wrapper, but I would guess it's less than 60%, probably around 50%.

Each piece of this bar has a key lime center. The chocolate breaks with a soft snap, and the chocolate in general is soft. The key lime flavor is strong and the chocolate flavor is a bit weak, so the predominant flavor is lime, not chocolate. According to the ingredients, the lime flavor is natural, not artificial.

Overall, I wasn't very impressed with this bar from Astor Chocolate.
