This is the Chocolats Halba Amandes Milch Lait, a milk chocolate bar containing 20% almonds, with the chocolate comprising at least 30% cocoa.
Each square was packed with whole almonds, providing a firm crunch as the rich, savoury nuttiness of the almonds was released. The milk chocolate offered a satisfying snap and melted smoothly on the palate, offering a creamy sweetness that complemented the almonds. As the chocolate receded, the caramelised aspect of the almonds became more noticeable, with small sugar crystals adding a subtle crunch and caramelised finish. The bold sweetness of the chocolate slightly overshadowed the caramelised notes, but the overall combination was satisfying, with a generous amount of almonds enhancing the rich, smooth chocolate.
This Chocolats Halba Amandes Milch Lait contained 100 g. It was produced in Switzerland and received as a gift from acquaintances visiting the United Kingdom in 2024.
