Impact
Chocolate-cubed: square blocks of cocoa, each studded, spiked, or set with usually 3 different flavorings, done up in plain brown-paper boxes ala a UPS truck without the driver... making it quite accident-prone.

Flavor 36.4 / 50
haphazard mosh-pit of assembled flavors – fruits, nuts & seeds, liquors, spices & herbs... the whole werks; some combine well / others just reckless
