Monoprix Gourmet Noir aux éclats de fèves

Another Monoprix Gourmet bar from Paris - this time a 72% dark chocolate bar, crammed with toasted nibs of cocoa beans.

My pathetic attempts at trying to explain the blurb on the packet, is that the toasted cocoa nibs give a taste that is reminiscent of coffee beans.

Same presentation as the last Monoprix Gourmet bar I reviewed (pictures to come) and you are greeted with a lovely deep chocolate aroma as soon as you open the bar.

The chocolate is fairly reminiscent of Lindt's 70-odd% chocolate, with a deep, not too bitter smooth cocoa taste, with an undertone of vanilla.

The best bit though is the toasted cocoa nibs - they lend a lovely crunch to the bar, and add a superb intense chocolate taste as you eat the bar. And yes - a slight hint of toasted coffee beans which I have always been fond of the flavour of, but only a hint mind you. Which I suppose is correct, considering it isn't actually coffee!

Highly recommended - if you like dark chocolate and happen to come across this French offering on your travels, then please try it!
