Chocablog » Bounty Bar (496 words)
Some chocolate bars are quite flexible, and while not optimum, it doesn’t really matter if you buy it off a warm shelf in your local newsagent and eat it at your desk a few hours later, but a tepid Bounty Bar is an unloved Bounty Bar - and pretty flavourless.
The chocolate on the top is pleasantly rippled, presumably echoing the waves on our tropical fantasy beach, and the base has the word BOUNTY and palm trees repeatedly printed on the bottom - just in case you were in danger of forgetting what you were eating.
However, it should be said that the milk chocolate coating is slightly sweeter than, say Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate, which is a little disappointing as it doesn’t offer as much contrast to the subtle flavours of the coconut filling as it might.
