Aha. This is where the Swiss thing starts to look up: the introduction of cows and more to the point, milk, to the equation. This chocolate is a winner. My only reservation is that it should be approached thinking 'sweet tasty treat involving chocolate' rather than thinking 'this will be chocolate bliss'. Chocolate plays an accompanying part here, rather than being a stand-alone star. Indeed, the star of the show is the caramel, first glimpsed in jaggedy shards when the the chocolate breaks in a slightly crumbling way. The taste is super-sweet, and actually reminded me of a good egg custard more than anything else. There is a definite presence of chocolate there so it passes the "if I shut my eyes would I know this was chocolate" test. This is the kind of delectation where I say "one piece is enough, any more would be far too sickly." Then I proceed to take my chances with the sickliness. Enjoyed with restraint, (which The Diver is more capable of doing than I am), it's the childhood joy of too much sugar tweaked to a- slightly- more adult palate. Rated 8/10.
