Again, purchased in Dublin, this is a bar with some serious ginger kick. Described on the wrapper as: "a chocolate truffle covered in dark chocolate with crystallised ginger", I would agreed with their statement about the ginger (you can see the ginger layer in the bar), but I wouldn't go as far as to call the interior a "truffle". More like a toffee consistency type of dark chocolate. I love eating ginger in my food, not even just ginger flavoured things, but actual pieces of ginger, however this was a different story. It was just TOO overpowering. I remember eating a chocolate covered piece of crystallised ginger a bunch of Christmases ago, and this bar reminds me of that. There's just too much ginger, so much that it's actually giving me a headache now, and the chocolate isn't of a good enough quality (could also be because it's dark chcolate and I don't like dark chocolate as much) to balance it out.I say, pass on this bar, unless you're feeling daring and want a crazy ginger kick. You don't have to love the taste of ginger, just love a tacky, over the top ginger thing. I can't even describe it...but it's not a good thing.
