I love speculoos. And there are some great chocolate bars with speculoos. This is not one of them.

Imagine a milk chocolate bar full of flavoured grit, and you’ve got this bar.

Perfectly competent and fairly reasonably priced. Hazelnuts aren’t broken up which is a big bonus. Very little after-taste.

How’s that for a somewhat underwhelming review?

The combination of milk chocolate and hazelnuts should always work but this time it really doesn’t – and it’s the fault of both parties.

The milk chocolate is too smooth and too soft and insubstantial, and the hazelnuts are chopped into fragments, rather than whole and the have no texture and little flavour. Avoid.

Interesting chocolate bar – full  if not over-full of hazelnuts which are floating on a layer of chocolate – which makes the bar more gritty/coarse than you might expect.

I love the idea of a rum and raisin chocolate bar, but this one is completely overwhelmed by the taste of alcohol (and not the taste of rum per se, it’s a generic burst of alcohol) and it’s too sweet as well.

Allegedly has nuts, but they’re not particularly noticeable.

nomnom’s hot x buns chocolate bar is an excellent mix of chocolate and spices. Good mouthfeel and great balance of flavours.

Shame it’s too hard to find.

Macadamia and chocolate should be a match made in heaven but Ritter Sport’s Nut Perfection Macadamia Milk Chocolate is anything but. The chocolate is too sweet, and the macadamia nut chunks are too small. It should work, but it just doesn’t.

Surprisingly bitter for a milk chocolate, with a short-ish sharp and intense sour aftertaste.  Ok mouth-feel and crumb.

Don’t like it.
