Crumble Charms taste description
This caramel cookie bar is not just a snack; it's an experience. The soft, crumbly base provides a gentle snap that leads into a stretch of slow-pulling, extra-gooey caramel. The 58% dark chocolate coating adds a bold touch that enhances the richness without overwhelming, while the salted caramel brings a delightful contrast, making each bite sweet, salty, and irresistibly complex.
Our F.L.A.V.O.R results
FORM
The visual presentation of the chocolate is neat, though the filling inside may benefit from clearer differentiation visually. The addition of dry flowers adds a simple touch, but enhancing the visual cues to hint at the internal components could improve intrigue.
80/100
LINGER
The aftertaste of the chocolate is noted for its moderate length, with the caramel and chocolate flavors lingering subtly. To elevate the experience, extending the aftertaste duration and intensifying the flavors without overpowering could enhance the overall sensory satisfaction.
82/100
AROMA
The aroma of the chocolate is noted for its sweetness, with distinct caramel and buttery notes. While pleasant, there may be an opportunity to enhance complexity by introducing more nuanced aromatics to elevate the olfactory experience.
81/100
VITALITY
The balanced taste profile of the chocolate is appreciated, with a pleasant surprise of less sugar than expected. While the shortbread component is enjoyable, the lack of butter depth may be addressed to enhance the overall flavor complexity and richness.
80/100
OVERALL TEXTURE
The texture of the chocolate at room temperature is commended for its spot-on consistency, offering a subtle crunch that pleasantly surprises. To elevate the experience, enhancing the crunchiness slightly could provide a more dynamic textural contrast, enhancing overall enjoyment.

REFINEMENT
The chocolate product demonstrates a nice balance in taste, texture, and visual appeal, offering a pleasant sensory experience. While improvements in the shortbread and chocolate intensity are suggested, the overall harmony and quality of the product are commendable.
