Willie’s Chocolate bars are really…

I wrote a blog before about Willie Harcourt-Cooze and I slated him.  Well I kinda take that back now…  because I went to Selfridges one day a few months ago and I saw his chocolate bar for sale.

I proceeded to purchase it for a whopping…

When I got into the bus, I felt the urge.  I took it out of my bag and had a little look at what all the fuss was about.

Nice packaging.

Nice logo.

Nice little note underneath the seal, telling me to ‘tuck in’…

Two slabs of chocolate wrapped in gold…

I put it back in my bag.

It was far too fancy to eat on the bus.

Eating a bar of this caliber required a bit of fuss.  I needed a cup of tea and a comfortable seat.  I needed to put my feet up.  I needed a few cushions.  I needed a punkah wallah.  I needed…  well, i just needed to get off the smelly bus so I could really savour these glorious looking chocolate slabs of delight that lay seductively before me…

When I got home and made myself comfortable, I tucked in to what is now, most definitely my favourite chocolate on the planet. 

The texture is like, sort of harder than fudge but the same kind of soft quality to it, your teeth sink into it.  It’s not like all those plasticky type dark chocolates on the market that make that cheap ’snap’ noise when you crack a piece off…

The taste is so rich and tangy.  It boasts of subtle tropical fruit tones, and it delivers them with every bite.  The after taste has a zing too and you just have to wait before taking the next bite because the experience continues on in your mouth after…

It was so good, I had to buy two more today!
