About: Trader Joe's brand is uneven, mostly good. This chocolate falls flat and contributes to the "uneven" side and not to the "good" side. That said, it's tolerable and interesting.
Flavor: They really upped the vanilla on this bar. When you bite in, you will be overwhelmed with a not-unpleasant mouthful of vanilla flavor. Initially, that's all there is. After a bit, the vanilla dissipates and then there's no flavor, just a sort of waxy amalgam you're masticating in confusion. Just when you're about to give up and wonder if this is just some sort of vanilla flavored wax, the chocolate finally kicks in and it's okay. Overall, the flavor profile is interesting, but not entirely in a chocolaty way. If you want to be nice, you can say that the cocoa isn't overly roasted -- it's not sour or bitter. It's not much of anything, really.
Texture: Very brittle. No points here.
My rating: 4, on the scale of 1-10, where 10 means 'mind shockingly good' and 1 means 'would not bother'. Give me more!
