MY OPINION

This is a very tasty bar and the coconut is very moist and not dry like I first expected it to be.

The outer covering of chocolate is very tasty and has a real milk chocolate taste and is very smooth.

The two textures work well together especially if the bar has been kept in the fridge and the chocolate has gone slightly hard. The hard chocolate and the moist coconut taste great together.

There is a very pleasant sweet smell to the bars which is not too over powering or off putting.

The only problems I have found on some occasions when eating this is that the coconut does tend to get stuck in a few of my teeth!

I would highly recommend this bar to anyone who fancies a taste of the exotic or something different.
