Today I’ll be reviewing this cute little bar from Woodblock Chocolate from my city of resident, Portland Oregon! You can find this bar all over Portland and I have tried this bar before but I need to do another tasting of it (for science of course). This bar is also my go to as gifts to friends when they were having a bad day; it just feels like a little present.
So this is a little block of chocolate, perfect for one person or sharing it with someone. I personally liked the fact that I can bite off a small piece slowly making the bar last about the whole day. The bar itself is super smooth and shiny, I could almost make see my reflection on the bar when I first opened it.
Since the bar is pretty thick the snap is a little dull. I suggest you cut it into smaller pieces with a knife if you don’t want to bite bits of it off. The bar is not very sweet; the salt really brings out the bitter sweetness of the bar. It has a slight acidity to it and a milky aftertaste that lingers for a while. I bit off the bar in tiny pieces so it melted it fairly quickly in my mouth but the after taste that linger is lovely so I didn’t really felt the need for another bite right away.
Again, I love the size of this bar. It would be great as stocking stuffers or a for a gift basket. Their packaging is simple and very welcoming. The bar is wrapped in a thick textured stock. It’s not pretentious it’s just a bar of chocolate waiting to be enjoyed. Their type choices are fantastic, somewhat timey and industrial while still being friendly.
Would I get this bar again? Yes! My friends might see them in their stockings this year for Christmas.
Till the next bar!
