About: Here's what I wrote elsewhere on this blog about this chocolate:
"It's still the case that in the US it's possible to engender some cachet by touting European heritage. Bissinger's is not above doing this and proudly proclaim their 17th century French title of "Confiseur Imperial." On their packaging they list "Paris 1600s USA 1845." These declarations compensate for Bissinger's currently somewhat lackluster mid-western orgins. I was right in thinking that some St. Louis manufacturer was not going to make good chocolate. But I was wrong in thinking it couldn't be excellent. It most definitely is excellent."
Here's the thing about this bar. If you're able to not consume it quickly for some reason, then it'll go stale. There's almond toffee bits there that don't like laying around an open package for a long time. I will never explain how I found out about this - it involved lots of other chocolate bars, though.
The picture on the bar makes it look like there's a lot of toffee, but it's not really like that. It's more like a sprinkling of toffee on the bottom of a regular bar of chocolate.
Flavor: The chocolate is great. You can't really go wrong with coffee flavoring, maybe ever. The toffee is nice. It all becomes a tinybit sweet, especially for a 75% bar.
Texture: Smooth, creamy, excellent texture, with crunchy toffee.
My rating: 9, on the scale of 1-10, where 10 means 'mind shockingly good' and 1 means 'would not bother'. Give me more!
