I have been quite a fan of Toblerone throughout my life, but until today, I had never tried any other variety, bar the well-loved milk chocolate version.
The dark version of Toblerone is Swiss plain chocolate, with honey and almond nougat pieces. Cocoa solids are 50% minimum, which isn't the highest around, but reasonably respectable for "family" chocolate.
The chocolate reminds me quite a lot of Cadbury's Bournville (as far as I can remember anyway, as I haven't eaten this for many years!). It melts smoothly, is quite sweet for a dark chocolate and is therefore very easy to eat. The honey and almond nougat gives a nice crunch, but the plain chocolate does rather mask any honey or almond taste, unless you have any bits left in your mouth after all the chocolate has melted.
Overall I liked this. It is a nice addition to the Toblerone range (I must try the white one next!) and is good for sharing with family, as children would most likely be quite happy eating this dark chocolate due to its sweet, smooth taste, as compared to say a 70% chocolate which is generally a more acquired taste. I personally like the milk chocolate version better, as I prefer very dark, if I am eating plain chocolate, but this is not far behind in the taste stakes.

Amanda lol please please dont compare this to Cadbury Bournville...its so superior its ridiculous. I get what you mean about the honey/almond elements being diluted a bit by the stronger chocolate.Saying that I still liked this bar though. Great work as always :D

Oh don't get me wrong Jim - I think it is much better, but I get the same kind of "vibe" from it, as far as sweetness and type of flavours.
But I haven't had Bournville for years, so it could be my memory playing tricks :)
