Nestle Noir Eclat Noir

The contrast of textures between the chocolate and the cocoa bean pieces is nice. The burst of extra bitterness from the cocoa beans was a bit too much for my personal tastes. I thought this one was more intense than the Intense chocolate bar was.

I got this chocolate through Freebie Friday. I love dark chocolate, so I enjoyed it. However, I must admit that I was a little disappointed in the caramelized cocoa bits. The cocoa bits sounded interesting but because it's mixed in with such rich dark chocolate already, the cocoa bits flavour didn't stand out at all. Although I enjoyed the crunchy texture of the chocolate bar, I didn't find this to be anything special. I shared this chocolate bar with a friend of mine who also had the Noir Cherry with me. She also agreed that this wasn't as good as it looked. Overall, it tasted good and we enjoyed this delicious little snack!

I think that if you are a devoted lover of dark chocolate, you'll love this chcolate! As someone who is not, however, I found it too intense and not sweet enough for my liking. I did discover, however, that melt inside Pillsbury Croissants made the perfect use for this chocolate as its rich flavour was a great compliment for the croissants!
