White Chocolate World

I’m actually a big fan of Hotel Chocolat’s white chocolate, it has a lovely creamy and not overly sweet texture, which is probably why they think they have the right to make this cacophony of flavours in their Eton Mess.

Containing Strawberry White Chocolate, Vanilla White Chocolate, cocoa biscuits, freeze-dried strawberries and meringue it’s like there is a party in your mouth but someone wasn’t invited. They really dropped the bomb on the flavour front but something is slightly off. The Strawberry and Vanilla White Chocolate are not to blame and I suspect the meringue is innocent too which only leaves the freeze-dried strawberries or the cocoa biscuits. Either way, it leaves a slightly bitter aftertaste, making the entire bar more complex but in a Jared Leto kind of way. It’s a pass for me.
