Review: Hachez Cocoa D'Arriba Mango Chili

Cocoa content: 77%
Sugars per serving: not specified (the bar is imported from Germany)
Website: http://www.hachez.de

Rich, sweet, and fruity with a kick!

This bar's predominant smell is sweet mango. There is almost no noticeable chocolate smell at first. The chocolate has medium snappage when breaking off a piece.

A bite of this bar starts with powerful fruity mango flavor, followed by a mild burn at the back of the throat -- the chili kicks in and the spice grows. The chocolate flavor is very subtle at first, but eventually, all three flavors start to meld, blend, and complement each other.

The bitter chocolate really balances the other flavors.

The aftertaste includes slightly bitter chocolate, slightly sweet mango, and a little afterburn of chili. It's just a a little sweet for my taste, but overall very good.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Aztec Dudes
