Naked Truth Chocolate Bars
I stumbled across these in the lolly aisle at Coles. The name reminded me instantly of “nudie” juice drinks – another deliberately cute, expensive company that pours heart and soul into being the very best in its field (and charges accordingly).
There was a wide variety of options, so I chose three.
1. Sweetie Pie: Lemon Coconut Cream Pie White Choc Bar.
This was my first taste of the Naked Truth company’s wares, and it was exquisite. The flavours of lemon, coconut and creamy white chocolate were perfectly balanced. The soft centre was a delightful surprise – I’m a sucker for different textures in food.
I regretted sharing this with Chris. (He is merely human, after all – and this is chocolate). I dream of the day when I eat another.
Five stars. If you see one, buy it for me. And another for yourself, because I ain’t sharing next time.
2. PG: Coffee Beans and Popping Candy Milk Choc Bar
I hate coffee, so I confess I really bought this for Chris, who loves popping candy, coffee, and of course chocolate (he is merely human, after all). He commented that the coffee taste was paramount – he wouldn’t have noticed the popping candy if he didn’t know it was there. For people who love chocolate coated coffee beans, this is the biz. It’s got that particular “bean” taste, but without the risk of the occasional too-dry or otherwise imperfect bean.
3. Get Naked: Fig and Macadamia Milk Chocolate Bar
I was a little disappointed that the block didn’t have the soft centre that delighted me so much in the “Sweetie Pie”. Most of the fig and macadamia pieces were on top – as if they were sprinkled on when the chocolate was partly set. It looks particularly attractive, and the chocolate was lovely, but I prefer larger macadamia pieces so the taste can be truly enjoyed.
Still a very nice chocolate block – similar in quality, cost and size to a Lindt bar, but without being divided into blocks. So you’ll either have an awkward task breaking it up… or you’ll have a serious chocoholic eat it like a bar.
How did I choose to tackle it?
Do you really need to ask?
