Review: Toms Orangebuer (orange arches/or bows)

These orange arches (or bows) from Tom’s Confectionery Group is described as a “Dark chocolate with orange flavour”. This is simply dark chocolate flavoured with orange oil in a roundish shape, with an arch. The chocolate has 50% cocoa and contains both milk powder as well as artificial vanilla (ethyl vanillin).

The box is OK looking, though the orange theme might, from a graphical perspective, have been more explicit. The appearance of the chocolate itself is attractive with nice, smooth and shiny surface. Appearance: 7, 5. out of 10.

As soon as you unwrap the plastic that is before even opening up the box you are greeted wit a strong orange aroma. I very much like the aroma of sweet cocoa and orange. Aroma 8 out of 10,

The snap is quite good as is the melt. The only drawback in terms of texture is that the chocolate is a bit on the dry side. Were it not for this fact it would have scored higher. Texture: 7, 5 out of 10.

Initially the aroma is sweet and pleasant, though there is not too much in terms of orange which is disappointing, especially considering the strong orange aroma. However, after a few moments the flavour turns bitter and off in a very pleasant, and this ruins the entire experience. Flavour: 6, 5 out of 10.

Average 7, 375
