Flavor   43.4 / 50
unleashes sticky caramel corn -> immediately explodes off a chocolate-bang on its heels -> gives way to everclear sugar sap -> stalls & idles.... -> nuts (almond / brazil / pistachio) -> closes on faint pear brandy
Quality   16.8 / 20
Initial attacks by this are full-on but the sustain proves weak & treacly (could stand to decrease the sugar level), then releases traditional nib nut-tones at the back – thanks to a perfectly judicious roast - for a special moment of brandy.

ING: cacáo nibs, sugar, cacáo butter
