Innocent, despite a battery of rather criminal ingredients including greasy-slick saturated oils & fat lipids.

Quality 13.7 / 20
Made for couverture, this is good in the same way that chick-flicks & milkshakes plug up cravings. Lots of vanilla make-up. And, oh, how the Dutching just levels it into a one-dimensional profile, suppressing bitterness without fully eliminating it. Plus all those hard fats.
Wake & bake.
