Chocolate Review 2 - TJ Divine Duets
Sunday, August 20, 2006 at 05:10PM
In my attempt to create thoughtful Chocolate reviews, I will include all kinds of chocolate . Not just the fancy expensive bars found at Bittersweet, and other chocolatiers. I buy my chocolate pretty much anywhere - Safeway, Peet's, gas stations, and especially Trader Joe's.
Trader Joe's does a good job of positioning many bars at the checkout line. Since there's always a line at TJ's, I always find myself placing a chocolate bar in my basket before checkout.
This week I decided to try "Trader Joe's Divine Duets". Retail price: $1.69.
-Note for review improvement...always add the retail price...i didn't do that in the first review and I can't find the receipt - oops!
Trader Joe's Divine Duets - Dark Belgian Chocolate Enrobes Almond Praline Cream
First of all, not all chocolate has to be expensive to be good and this is a good example. You get a lot for your money - 5.25 oz. Each stick you break off is nice and chunky. The picture on the box is almost to size.
The chocolate itself is very smooth and a perfect percentage of dark to accompany the almond praline cream. The cream itself is lite and tasty. It practically oozes out of the stick. I wish I could have a jar of it to spread on crackers. Dare I say the almond praline rivals any nutella or hazelnut spread - oh yes I did! It's neither too sweet or predictable. It's downright heavenly.
Rating: 5 cacao beans out of 5!!!!!!!

I am a dark chocolate lover. I picked this up this week at TJs. It is absolutely fantastic. I figured I wasn't the only one who fell in love with this creation, so I googled it and found your website.
Glad you found my site. I've got more reviews coming!
