Flavor 45.6 / 50
cracks open vanilla egg cream (richer than chicken, closer to pheasant) -> red rush (raspberry leading the charge) -> ice-cream spread -> the Trinity meet (vanilla / cream / fruit), united in the amen corner of cacáo butter -> shouts of raspberry sirens going away
Quality 18.4 / 20
Confected orgasm with a couple of achingly good peaks. Several of Weiss' “dark” bars draw blanks so it’s unsurprising that their ‘White’ would be flavorful – thanks to those additives – to uphold its contrarian spirit. Dried fruits give it a tart pull & offset away from instant formula, while still calling attention to its milk & cacáo butter base. A bar that really works, even if in a crassly gratuitous way.
