Nowhere near the polar extremities of Askinosie’s White Nib bar, nor the symbiosis of S-B’s Milk Nibby. deBondt’s Milks have a malingering wax factor (several fats in the mix - cream & cacao polished-off in a lot of lecithin emulsifier). The net effect is power browsing thru the Milk portion, wading to get the Nibs to work their effect which propel this bar to a quik last-minute win at the end.
