This offering from the Danish company, Toms Confectionery Group, is described as a “Dark chocolate filled with caramel (27%) and soft French nougat (43%)” with a minimum of 54% cocoa solids. Since it is labelled “Guld karamel” (“golden caramel”), which is a popular kind of hard chewy bon bon, invented by Toms, I did expect it to bee similar to this offering. However, it was not really the same thing. I guess this is probably for the good as that offering is quite tough so that a barsize offering would be too hard to finish. So what is this offering all about?
Appearance wise the wrapper and chocolate is a little more elegant than the original Yankie bar I reviewed here. The chocolate is nice dark brown. In cross section view it appears identical to the Yankie bar. Appearance: 8 out of 10.
The aroma is nice with good fruit and cocoa. Aroma: 8 out of 10.
The texture is very soft and chewy, though it is too one dimensional in its softness. The chocolate unfortunately has very little snap which could have contrasted nicely with the softness. The texture is more like soft cocoa fluff than French nougat, which. at least in Denmark, is usually understood as a brittle egg white based candy. Texture: 7 out of 10.
The flavour is quite similar to the Yankie bar, though this one obviously I obviously covered in dark chocolate. One the one hand the dark chocolate adds a little more fruit which is good. On the other hand, however, the dark chocolate does not fit in easily with the French nougat (or cocoa fluff) and caramel, as its slightly bitter aftertaste colludes with other ingredients in a not so nice way. Flavour: 6 out of 10.
Average: 7, 25 out of 10.
