This was a perfect mix of crunch from the biscuit, chocolate and caramel flavour, with a slight saltiness. Should have ordered more! -
Just the best. Tastes like dark toffee sugar and the richest hot chocolate you could ever imagine. It's amazing the depth you can get when cocoa beans are treated with love and respect. -
After trying three bars in a dark chocolate selection the Norandino emerged as my favourite. Just delicious. Fruity, acidic, caramel-dark amazingness, with a wonderful even balance. Sheer joy. -
The chocolate is so smooth and every bite is satisfying. These are what got me addicted to Meltdown chocolate.
