I have always wanted to try chocolate covered espresso beans but don't often see them in store. I saw that Soma sold these in-store so I bought a packet to try. The beans were very crunchy and had very little chocolate taste to them since the espresso bean overpowered the chocolate. After a few chews, the bean became very grainy and bitter, leaving a strong coffee aftertaste in my mouth. Since this is my first time eating chocolate espresso beans, I don't have another product to compare it to. A few days later I went to Bulk Barn and found they too sold chocolate espresso beans. These were much larger (about 2-3 times larger) than Soma's, and the ones I bought were milk chocolate. They were much tastier, with a thicker layer of chocolate covering the coffee bean. Overall, I favour Bulk Barn's chocolate espresso bean more. Soma's dark chocolate espresso bean is stronger in flavour but has less proportion of chocolate and was grainy in texture, it was also pricier (paid $7 for 65g) than Bulk Barn's espresso bean. I'd say give them a try if you like something stronger in flavour.
