Selections

Dark Mint – oil-injected mint breathes all over hapless chocolate
Plain Dark – cocoa powder w/ cherry twisted tone; melts down into rugged W African flavor
Champagne – tiny, shy bubbles pop on the way up, before even getting out of the bottle
Fruit – apricot/cherry gummy bear mash-up; melts well (& wisely) into decent Milk Choc base
Coffee - espresso-kissed Dark brings lasting cream dimension; strength trumps grace
Caramel – pandering... standard corn-syrup glop; ironically one of the quieter pieces
