Lindt Creation 70% Chilli

I picked up a couple of these Lindt Creation 70% bars to try - there are 3 I think in the range. I have not tried chocolate with chilli before, and it seems to be popping up all over the place.

This is a 70% cocoa solids dark chocolate bar, with a dark truffle and soft cherry and chilli filling.

The chocolate is up to Lindt's normal high standards - I love their 70% dark anyway, as it has a lovely balance between sweet and bitter, with an intense cocoa flavour. It smells as good as it tastes as well.

The filling is a soft dark truffle - this melts pretty quickly and sits well with the rest of the filling - a cherry and chilli thick syrup. I was a bit worried about the cherry flavouring, not being a massive fan, but I needn't have been. It is balanced perfectly - it has the intense cherry taste, but not the sickly sweetness that you often get with fillings of this type. The chilli is also apparent - not enough to blow your head off, but just enough to leave a pleasant warmth in your mouth after eating. The cherry and truffle filling melts away very quickly and the chilli flavour lingers to meld with the dark chocolate shell as it finishes its slow smooth melt in your mouth.

It's not a bar I could eat a lot of at once, but I like this a lot. I am looking forward to trying the Creation 70% Caramel that is awaiting attention in my "cupboard of love"!
