NESTLE NOIR MOUSSE CHOCOLATE;

I did not like, I was expecting better (maybe because I compared to Lindt chocolate instead)
I expected better, I wanted a more softer mousse like texture which was not there.
The actual chocolate taste was not the greatest either....just not my favorite chocolate.

Prefer other comparable mousse chocolate bars better to this one.

I dont like these...I am not a dark chocolate lover.

Each package contains 10 individual “pillows” of soft dark chocolate mousse inside a hard shell of chocolate. According to the press release they’re each worth about 55 calories, which ain’t bad! Depending on what diet you follow you could safely have 2-3 as a small snack.The little chocolate treats were pretty good in terms of taste and texture. I was a little bit wary of the combination of mousse and hard chocolate but they were combined well. The shell gave a satisfying crunch and the mousse was nice and smooth, not at all like the Aero bar-feeling I thought it would be. The pillows melt at a good rate in your mouth; and while they look bite-sized they’re just a tad too large to fit whole in your mouth! I recommend you take a few smaller bites and slowly savour the feeling and flavour for what it is.

im a chocoholic and love my chocolate and love to try new bars everyday, i found this bar to be to rich tasting for me

From a huge choco fan this didnt really please me. I dont know if it was the mouse. I really didnt like the texture and wasnt worth my money. I rather buy Lindtt Dark Choco bar or After Eight if im craving dark chocolate.

I love chocolate especially with nuts, icewine or coffee beans - so I kind of find these boring? I do like plain chocolate, I just expected a little more from this based on the product claims. I didn't find the filling to be particularly 'mousse-y'; with that said, the chocolate itself wasn't bad. I preferred the dark over the milk version (I received both from the Product Review Club) because it wasn't as sweet. All in all, for its price, it's not a bad value; it's good to eat as a quick snack - it just wouldn't be the first thing I'd reach for when I wanted to buy chocolate.

I must say, I was really really excited to try these which is all thanks to the product review club. When Nestle first came out with the Noir line a year or so ago, I was thrilled because there aren't many quality dark chocolate brands out there. Since then I have tried pretty much all of their chocolates but my favourite has to be the Eclat Noir - the one with the caramelized cocoa bits ( I love it so much, there is one sitting in my pantry right now). One thing I have noticed with Nestle Noir is that their offerings are very similar to what Lindt has. Nestle Noir's new Mousse Delicate is no exception. When I first saw it, it immediately put me in mind of Lindt's Petit Desserts Chocolate Mousse line which I also love so I really really had to try this one!

I have to say, I really did enjoy these although I found it a bit too rich. I thought both the dark chocolate and the milk chocolate outter shells were nice and the mousse inside really rich, dark, sweet and smooth. I do wish the mousse wasn't so "wet" if that makes any sense. These would be perfect with a tall glass of milk. I would also hope that they came with more flavours like their chocolate bar line. The thing I liked about Lindt's Petit Desserts Chocolate Mousse that I wish Nestle had was the Hazelnut mousse filling. It has little tiny bits of hazelnut in it's mousse which I thought was pretty good. Hoepfully. Nestle comes up with something similar or other varieties to try out.

One more thing to bring up. I absolutely hate the packaging. I mean, it's pretty and all, but not very practical. The box opens up like a book with no real enclosure. The contents can easily be spilled and the chocolates do not remain fresh for long due to it's exposure to the air.

All in all, I do like these and am looking forward to what Nestle Noir comes up with next.

Tasked with the difficult job of rating chocolate for the product review club, I'm pleased to report that my taste buds and palate were up to the challenge! Reviewers were asked to sample both the dark and the milk chocolate 100g versions of Nestle Noir Mousse Delicate (10 pieces per box).

The Real Scoop:

The product is being launched at a great time, as consumers scale back on purchasing discretionary luxury goods like imported chocolate, the product fills a niche between run-of-the-mill chocolate bars and expensive $50 boxes of chocolates.

The packaging is a sleek, elegant looking box that flips open to reveal 10 chocolates that are nestled in a gold tray. There is a rich feel to the experience, which begins when you lift the gold foil away from the tray to reveal the smooth individual chocolates.

From a taste perspective, I am decidedly neutral about this product (and would recommend the 52% cocoa dark chocolate version). The taste is an average milk chocolate (neither the best or worst I've had), which tastes a touch too sweet for my liking. The results is a chocolate that is good in a pinch, but will not likely trigger cravings. It's slightly reminiscent of Lindt chocolate truffles, although this has a mousse centre and Lindt has a smoother tasting chocolate. Still, for a mass-market product at the $3.99 price point, it has hit a good recession-era price point.

Of the two products, the milk chocolate mousse tastes a bit too sweet, but this dark chocolate version has a pleasing smooth taste. As it is pre-portioned into 10 bite size pieces, it would make a nice little treat to share at the office.

I received this along with the Dark version for the product reviews. I post the same thing, with slight variations in both product reviews.

The first thing I will talk about the packaging. I really like parts of the packaging. It's not covered in a wrapper like an Aero bar. I find that packaging can be annoying to wrap back up if I don't eat all of it. The lid doesn't come completely off like a regular box of chocolates but is hinged at one side so it opens like a door. Except the door is flipped 90 degrees (I hope that made sense). Although I initially found the packaging interesting it then became annoying. There is a little tag you have to unseal from the lid and then insert into the bottom of the box to close it. I was unsure what to do and had to think a little bit. Even so, I did that incorrectly on the first box but managed to close it on the second box. Personally I found it a little annoying to figure out and it took more effort that I think it should take to close a box of chocolates. I'm probably not going to use those tags and set a book on it to ensure that it stays closed and nothing gets in it.

Next is the taste. I think it's about an average taste. I've had better chocolate but I've also had worse. I prefer dark chocolate in general, therefore I prefer the dark chocolate over the milk chocolate. For some reason I didn't like now the mousse and milk chocolate mixed in my mouth because it left a weird aftertaste. The mousse inside is nice - very soft.

For the price, I think it's decent. You get 10 pieces of chocolate and I don't think I could eat too many of the at once.

The main question that comes to mind is if I would buy it again? I would consider it but it's not my favourite chocolate. Unless I really wanted something with the mousse inside, for $3.99 I'd probably get something else. That's not to say it's bad, because it's not, I just personally prefer other chocolate over this one.

Nestle has developed a nifty new chocolate treat for us fanatics to revel in, called Nestle Noir Mousse Delicate. Wow. Even the name sounds delicious.

I was provided two flavours of the dru... I mean product to try out; Milk Chocolate and Dark Chocolate. Both versions have a dark chocolate mousse inside.

The packaging was nice, though a little bit excessive I thought. I suppose it must be neccessary to protect the delicate little shells of chocolate inside--because that's what I found. Each package contains 10 individual "pillows" of soft dark chocolate mousse inside a hard shell of chocolate. According to the press release they're each worth about 55 calories, which ain't bad! Depending on what diet you follow you could safely have 2-3 as a small snack.

But who cares about diets. Give me chocolate!

The little chocolate treats were pretty good in terms of taste and texture. I was a little bit wary of the combination of mousse and hard chocolate, but Nestle has combined them well. The shell gave a satisfying crunch and the mousse was nice and smooth, not at all like the Aero bar-feeling I thought it would be.

The pillows melt at a good rate in your mouth; and while they look bite-sized they're just a tad too large to fit whole in your mouth! I recommend you take a few smaller bites and slowly savour the feeling and flavour for what it is.

I actually took these along with me on my trip to Las Vegas. I figured my friend and I would need a nice pick-me-up on all of our various plane rides. Boy, was I right!

We had the fortune of bringing some salted nuts with us... I love sweet and salty things so I took a bite of the Mousse Delicate and then popped a cashew in my mouth--Heaven! I really suggest trying out some salted nuts or any other type of sensation with these bad boys, it makes a good thing even better!

Overall I thought these were decent chocolates if you're looking for something from the drugstore or supermarket that's more luxurious than a plain old Mars bar. They can't really be compared to the high-end stuff like Rheo Thompson or Godiva, but they are definitely a nice, affordable (suggested retail price: $3.99) way to indulge from time to time!

I think I might buy them again in the future... I gotta say I really liked the dark chocolate mousse in the milk chocolate shell, it was just so creamy. The only negative I can think of is that they just disappear too quickly! Bah humbug!
