The Dark & Twisted
from Good & Delish,
a Walgreens brand,
made in Belgium,
distributed by Walgreens; Deerfield Illinois
Cocoa Percentage: 57%
Ingredients: Cocoa Liquor , sugar , Lemon Granules , Cocoa Butter , Butter Oil , Black Pepper , Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin)
Taste: The all encompassing taste of dark chocolate is the perfect background for the mixture of sour lemon and gritty dark peppercorn.
Originality: Many brands are experimenting with lemon, limoncello, and citrus flavors, however this bar puts the lemon into the bite-- a bit of a chew allows the palate to experience the pepper pieces and ground lemon granules. This bar does not pander to the sweet tooth-- instead it imparts a sour, peppery punch, and leaves you with an extra kick in your step.
Ideal situation for consumption:
Time: After dark, during a brisk and windy November evening
Place: Downtown Chicago, along the riverside where the lights of the city skyline ripple in the water below
Ambiance: Interlocking arms with a friend in just a way that allows hands to be tucked safely inside warm coat pockets
Combined with: Not much is needed if you are one to appreciate purity of taste, but perhaps the perfect chaser would be a shot of your favorite smoky bourbon.
