Sugarless Confectionary Chocolate Pralines

When i saw this product on the supermarket shelf, i figured it must have been new because it didn't have a shelf label or pricetag yet. But i bought it anyway on the premise of exploration and having never tried sugarless chocolate before, i thought it was time to expand my tasting experiences.


When i went through the checkout i nearly died as it scanned for some ridiculous price in the region of $20, i certainly hoped the sugarless pralines were like little brown kisses sent from heaven to me personally (similiar to fererro rocher ad). Oh how i would be dissapointed...


Starting wth the outside chocolate, it was waxy and seemed to resist the natural chocolate urge to melt in your mouth. Their was no brilliant taste of cocoa or hazlenut, no flutter of the heart as it coated the inside of your mouth with a lingering aftertaste. SO i thought i might be able to overlook the the initial dissapointment, and not judge a book by its discover, but take the time to get to know what these pralines were like on the inside. BIG MISTAKE! The powdery, tasteless centre almost reminded me of a cross between carab and heat-affected chocolate past its use by date. Incredibly dissapointed now. In fact, even just reminiscing about the chocolate has thrown my entire thought process.

If for whatever reason you HAVE to eat sugarless confectionary, i feel for you, but i can see that this product would serve a purpose. My only other suggestion for you though is you'd be better off eating 100% Dark chocolate, experiencing true cacao, then forcing yourself through this entire box.

RATING: 3/10
