Cadbury-style Milk Choc -- caramel twisting around vanilla, with length & strength -> butter hit -> umami bangs around the walls & the roof
Quality   14.5 / 20
KahKow harbors a penchant for developing a strong pedestrian flavor that dominates throughout. In this bar, salted caramel -- derived chiefly from vanilla interlocking with cocoa butter & glutamate edges in the milk solids -- holds that center of attention.

Though sweet, at 40% cacáo-content, sugar stays rather reserved yielding thick plodding flavor, straight from the confectioner's lab, targeting LCD preferences of the mass market. In that respect, this succeeds…. popularly.

Virtually no identifiable chocolate (baseline cocoa or otherwise), strange for an origin as renowned as the D.R.

The kind of natural organic taste that'll accrue value & grow in stature as 'unique' when artificial flavors & fragrances from the likes of Symrise control the markets.

INGREDIENTS: cocoa mass, sugar, whole milk powder, cocoa butter, cocoa powder, vanilla, lecithin
