I think I mentioned yesterday that we bought some funky chocolate flavors, but we didn't feel like sampling them at the time. Now we're going to give them a try today! Here's the run down!
First up is lavender (not in the pic above). It doesn't taste bad, just a light hint of lavender. However. . . we can't quite get past the fact that lavender reminds us of the dainty little perfumed soaps in guest bathrooms. So it isn't a favorite!
Beet root is next, and it is delicious (also not in pic above). It is actually too subtle for our palates because we didn't taste beets at all. Mostly it just tastes fruity, like maybe a hint of slightly salty strawberry! But it was very tasty!
Sweet, salty and crunchy is how I'd describe the soy chocolate (blue one in pic). It's not my favorite, but it's very interesting! The soy taste is definitely there; it tastes just like soy and chocolate on asian rice crackers. Weird! Very weird!
The shiso leaf chocolate is wonderful! I've never had shiso before so I didn't know what flavor to expect, but it is almost like a citrus mint flavor. Slightly like a light lime taste and a very subtle minty undertone. Very yummy!
The cuban cigar chocolate (lower left in pic) is very bitter! It reminds us faintly of the smell of unrolled tobacco, but mostly it was just a bitter flavored chocolate. Not my favorite, but not horribly unpleasant.
The bright green chocolate is a lemon drop flavor! It's a bright, tangy citrus taste with the creaminess of white chocolate! We both love this one! It is citrus to the Nth degree! Wowza!
The last one from the picture above is the bacon chocolate (upper left in pic)! It is amazing! Tammy said, "Bacon . . . GOOD! Chocolate . . . GOOD!" That sums it up quite nicely! It is savory and sweet just like a bacon donut, if you've ever had one of those! YUMMY!!!
OK, these four are the last of the interesting flavors! Although, the lower right isn't a weird flavor; it is just the amazing combination of dark chocolate and salted caramel!!!!! My favorite!!!!
The bright orange one is exactly like the dark chocolate oranges you can buy at Christmas time! My mom and my niece, Mia, would LOVE this one! They're addicted to the chocolate orange slices at the holidays! :-)
The one in the upper left isn't weird at all! It tastes like chocolate mixed with toasted Rice Krispies! It's sort of like a Crackle candy bar! It's a bit boring after all the others! :-)
OK, the last one in the lower left is definitely a weird one. It's a black olive-tomato-basil chocolate. Here we go......
OK, definitely strange! It tastes like a chocolate caprese salad! Not good. A bit too weird for my taste! We're glad we tried it, but we wouldn't want another one! Some flavors just shouldn't be mixed together, I guess!
That was fun! We might have to buy a few more weird ones to take with us to the next city! :-)
