Last week we launched the first of our snack-sized chocolate bars online. Today it is the turn of the first dark chocolate bar, with caramelised hazelnut and caramelised orange. Although this is not a new recipe for us, we have thus far not offered it in the 95g format. This smaller format appears to be more popular today, and it is made with a typical chocolate bar block pattern at the bottom, so that you can easily break off smaller pieces for sharing, or to spread the enjoyment over a longer period.
Our dark chocolate contains minimum 60% superior quality cocoa mass. We have sourced from many different suppliers and countries and this particular chocolate continues to stand out for us because it is has a great taste without overpowering the fruits and nuts that we use with it.
Caramelised oranges are so good with dark chocolate! We slice the fresh oranges and caramelise them over a period of several days before they are ready to be put onto the dark chocolate bar. On their own they would already have produced a great companion for the chocolate bar, but with the hazelnuts they form a perfect troika!
The hazelnuts are roasted and caramelised with sugar and cocoa butter to enhance their nutty taste. And because we are using cocoa butter and not dairy butter, the product is also suitable for vegan diets.
But having made sure that our chocolate bar is perfect for those who prefer diary free and vegan, we also have to cater for those who prefer milk rather than dark chocolate. And so we also launch today the milk chocolate version of this bar. The same caramelised orange and hazelnut, but with milk chocolate.
And again, we have been very careful to source an excellent quality milk chocolate with minimum 42% cocoa solids.
All of which means that we have now launched, in the snack-sized format, a white chocolate, dark chocolate and milk chocolate bar. So there will be something for every taste in chocolate; but we are planning to launch more of these chocolate bars, so watch this space!
