According to wiki Neapolitan wafers is an Austrian invention made up of wafers and chocolate cream. The chocolate cream featured hazelnuts imported from Naples. Nowadays many a manufacturer has a take on this combination, though many cover the wafers with chocolate.
And indeed this is exactly what this proposition offers. It is described as “Milk Chocolate with hazelnut cream filled wafer leaves (10%) and a praliné filling.” Cocoa solids is given to 30%.
The wrapper looks OK, though it is hard to see the connection of the orange colour and the proposition. The milk chocolate looks nice and the bar also looks nice in cross section. Appearance: 7 out of 10.
The aroma is nice though not spectacular. Hazelnuts and dairy are dominant. There are no malt or honey notes as is often the case with wafer bars. Aroma: 7 out of 10.
The wafer is the Achilles heel of this bar. problem It is too light and a little bit too dull to be really interesting and rather quickly melts away. When this happens, after two or three bites, the surrounding and quite substantial cream and chocolate kicks in with avery soft and sticky texture. And this makes it way too one dimensional. Texture: 7 out of 10.
This bar has cocoa cream flavour much similar to the Butter Biscuit (review here) bar, as well as praline flavour very similar to the Ritter Sport Praline bar I reviewed here. This is a fairly nice flavour that should appeal to most. You can taste the wafer though it is flavour wise not very pronounced. Perhaps this one might use a little salt. However, since this is mostly a cross bewtween the Butter Biscuit and Praline offerings, I am not sure there is any justification for this one. I think most consumers will like the Butter Biscuit and/or the Praline bars better. Especially the butter biscuit has, in my oppinion, a much superior biscuit as compared to the wafer. Aroma: 7, 5 out of 10.
Average: 7, 125 out of 10.
