Er…maybe not. Which is why I let it slide while I was sick and in need of extra downtime.
Anyway, before THAT happened, I was writing about Scharffen Berger’s Milk Chocolate with Almonds – which I enjoyed even though I didn’t care for their plain milk chocolate. And now, as if I never missed a beat, I have another milk chocolate based Scharffen Berger bar –the Milk Chocolate with Nibs.
The nibs are crunchy, which adds a nice texture contrast, but not too hard, which makes them easy to enjoy alongside the chocolate without excessive chewing. This is helpful, as there are few more tragic chocolate-related incidents than winding up with a mouthful of nibs left behind after the chocolate has melted away. The flavors of the chocolate and nibs mesh nicely as well, with a bit of intense smokiness from the nibs pairing well with the mild banana, dairy, and caramel flavors of the milk chocolate. The only drawback of this bar is a slight grit to the melt, which may be due to nib dust. Either way, it is a nicely balanced bar.
The name makes me want to talk as if talking to a pet. "Here, nibby nibby." Hope you're feeling better, and that you weren't brought down by one of those more disastrous chocolate-related incidents!
ReplyDeletehope you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Nibby.
Chocolate is always the cure! Glad you're back on the up swing.
ReplyDeleteBelieve or not, I was thinking about you not posting in a while just last night. True story. I hope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon! And let me know where you want to go to college ;)
ReplyDeleteHope the return to the land of the blog means you're all better! I can't decide how I feel about nibs. I thought I liked them, but then had some ice cream with them and it was super gritty. Though it also had little pieces of espresso beans, so it could have been those.
ReplyDeleteIf there's one thing I hate about chocolate, it's all that exess chewing. ;) Hope you're feeling better!
