What do you do when you desperately want to love something, or maybe just tolerate it, but can’t? That’s the question I faced when I first bit into Chocolove’s Raspberries in Dark Chocolate candy bar.
The bar promised so much. I mean, look at the packaging. The bar is designed like a love letter addressed to you, the consumer. There’s a quaint raspberry stamp in the upper right-hand corner, a mock-gold embossed heart and lots of hugs and kisses. The romantics behind this treat have even printed a love poem on the inside gold wrapper. Fun, bright and hip. With packaging this classy, the candy’s gotta be great, right?
Well, the Chocolove raspberry bar is a lot like a first date that looks great sitting across the table from you. But when you dig a bit deeper, you realize that this “catch” doesn’t have a job and still lives with mom and dad. The Chocolove bar, alas, doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.
