This was a good chocolate bar, but it wasn't really something that I would purchase. I really liked the toppings, and it was nice that every piece you broke off had plenty of them on top.
This was my least favourite of the seven baroness chocolate bars I received as part of Chick Advisor's Review Club. I found the bar very difficult to break into pieces, mostly due to the dried cranberries scattered throughout. I did not love the dried cranberries in the chocolate bar, especially because they are quite sweet and the chocolate itself was quite sweet. Like the rest of the baroness chocolate bars I received I found that the quality of chocolate was very good, however the bar itself was quite thick and because of the extra layer of chocolate covering the "toppings" (as the company has recently changed their chocolate recipe and now includes the toppings inside the bar instead of on the top), the bar is especially hard to break apart, often crumbling to pieces and being quite messy when trying to break a piece off. I also did not like that the bar was a mix of both dark and milk chocolate - I would have preferred it to be one or the other (in this case dark, so the sweetness of the cranberries can really be highlighted).
I'm not a big fruit in my chocolate bar kind of person, it was okay, but I wouldn't repurchase. I was sent this bar for free. It reminded me of trail mix.

I really like fruit and nut bars so cranberries and almonds in my chocolate would be good to me!
But sadly another bar which did not look like the one on the packaging. This one had alot of potential but it tasted like nothing at all but the chocolate (which itself is very good). I counted only 6 small pieces of almonds and 3 bits of cranberry.. SO SAD.
Luckily, the blend of Baroness's organic, gluten free and fair-trade chocolate was tasty.
I wish to try this again and hope I get a better bar!
