The history and character of chocolate bars and cocoa nuts
A little story
For many years, chocolate and nuts have been a favorite combination in confiseries.
When commercially produced chocolate bars were introduced around the turn of the twentieth century, this team quickly rose to fame.
The public eye
Brands like Mounds and Bounty have solidified their position in the candy world by introducing chocolate bars with nuts to the general audience.
Explain to me why we love them.
A harmonious combination of flavors is achieved by the contrast between the creamy and sugary garnish with the cocoa nibs and the rich and velvety enrobage of chocolate.
A delicious textural contrast is offered by the chocolate crumb coating and the smooth chocolate center of the noix de coco.
The polyvalence of these bars lies in the fact that they may be customized to suit a wide range of tastes by adding various kinds of chocolate and other ingredients.
