Fig Fennel & Almond by Theo Chocolate

And this new bar is no exception to my feelings about Theo. 65% cocoa is right where I like to be, and the 100% certified organic, high quality ingredients are unmistakable. I love biting into this bar because it has some serious meat to it, and the slightly tart flavor of the figs is a thrill. The almonds are somewhat of an innocent bystander in all of this, but add a nice third texture to round out this bar.

I wouldn't call it smooth because of this mix of textures, but I would certainly call it powerful, satisfying, and exquisitely sinful. OK, OK...so I like chocolate a lot, but wow, to come up with a new flavor in a super saturated market really impresses me. The Fig Fennel and Almond Bar finishes nicely with a combination of tangy fruit, deep chocolate, and slighty bitter note added by the almonds. And then you get to pick the residual almonds out of your teeth with your tongue, keeping your mind afloat in the afterglow of great chocolate.
