Impact
Chocolate acupuncture on the tongue; like tiny hands of the Geisha killing so softly, these miniscule pellets penetrate with major healing flavor. Cuts a profile that gets appetites thinking & tasting outside the bar.

Quality 17.2 / 20
Multiple wow-factors: some of the softest, sweetest nibs around. Tempting to call it ‘all hat / no cattle’ as in a lot of coating but very little nib (& a sugar pump running thru, under & over sandy cocoa). Flavor spectrum relatively confined but crowd-getting. Clever, well-worked pop-food to move a lot of mouths.
