Now, just in my previous post I wondered whether I should stop writing chocolate reviews, but
here I am with yet another one… but my DH brought two bars of
Marabou Oreo Filled chocolate from the grocery store just so that I
could write a review! After such a thoughtful gesture, who am I to
say no? ;)
Now, these bars have
the traditional Marabou yellow-and-red look with a picture of Oreo
filled chocolate. However, they are considerably heftier than your
usual Marabou milk chocolate bar (320g vs 185g), which means they’re
big and thick – and I do love a big and thick bar!
Um. Where was I? Right, the chocolate looks like this:
The scent is very
sweet. There’s the fairly mild aroma of milk chocolate and maybe a
bit of vanilla.
The milk chocolate
is the typical Marabou milk chocolate. It’s very sweet and smooth –
not my favourite because of the sweetness, but not bad at all. The
chocolate encases a white filling, which is also very sweet and has a
creamy, almost buttery flavour. It’s a little like the filling in
Oreos, but I don’t think it’s exactly the same stuff although I
could be wrong. Inside the filling nestles the Oreo part, which is a
nice, solid layer of that dark chocolate cookie. It is crispy and
crunchy and has the typical Oreo taste. Unlike I expected, it
actually balances the flavours of the otherwise very sweet chocolate
– and in terms of texture makes this chocolate more interesting.
This is a very sweet
bar – not intended for sophisticated nibbling but rather something
from which you want to break a piece after piece and just stuff your
face with those deliciously thick fragments. I don’t really mind
all that sweetness… and, oddly enough, lately I’ve suffered from
sudden, inexplicable cravings for Oreos! 😨 So this chocolate definitely
worked for me.
