Passion for Chocolate.

That's what the Lindt "Maitres Chocolatiers" (Masters of Chocolate to us!) are expressing in their "Excellence" range. Apparently.

*All* of their passion for chocolate no less....

Having tasted the wonderful creamy but slightly crunchy " Coconut" white chocolate bar by Lindt, the passion is palpable...

Now apparently dooyoo only have the one category to cover all Lindt chocolate.
Big mistake - how can you describe in any detail the delights of each Lindt bar in one opinion? Right now I'm a one chocolate woman and the one I'm going to write about is Lindt's "Coconut" White from their Excellence range.

<Note that under the competent leadership of that Murphy chocolate-loving woman this has now changed to there being a particular category for Lindt white chocolate!>

You know by the Lindt label that you are selecting a serious chocolate when you first pick it off the shelf. All those years making chocolate don't count for nothing. They've been doing it since 1845 you know, and from what I've tasted in this amazingly sensual bar, doing it rather well.

I'm afraid I found it rather difficult to piece the wrapper together once I'd consumed most of the bar...ripped it off I'm afraid -no delicate unwrapping this time, no peeling the paper and foil delicately apart.

*Oh* no!

This was a rip-it-off-and-let-me-taste-it moment. A moment of desire..of fantasy and of ecstatic fulfilment..

Did you know that the description of the bar in Italian reads "cioccolato bianco con fiocchi di cocco" ? Try saying that in your best sexy voice. Ever seen "A Fish Called Wanda"? Remember the effect on Jamie Lee Curtis of John Cleese speaking a foreign language?

Say no more.

It comes in a shiny golden-coloured wrapper embossed with gold foil and with a picture
of a square ( nothing so common as a piece with this one! ) of this delectable confection nestling among juicy slices of coconut.

Speaking of squares, after my orgiastic feasting on the bar, I've just one square left to savour as I write. The bar is divided into squares which snap more satisfyingly than... ooops, nearly forgot this is a family forum...well, they snap very satisfyingly. Choose your own image at this point.

The squares are smooth and slim but a very satisfying size and bear the imprint "Lindt" so there can be no doubt about what you're slipping into your mouth.

As you bite into it the taste floods your senses as you're aware of a delightful crunchiness hiding inside that smooth sleek exterior. Now I'm not a Bounty woman myself. Nice ads if you like the idea of tropical paradise, but I've always found Bounty just that tad difficult to swallow. To be honest I'd rather just spit all that coconut right out. Not so with this naughty Swiss delight. It melts in the mouth, and leaves only a little firm crunchy coconut behind for you to play around your tongue.

This is a chocolate to be reckoned with. "An exotic chocolate with flakes of coconut enrobed in smooth melting white chocolate" as those Chocolate Masters put it. Forget the Milky Bar kid, this is real grown up's white chocolate.

What is it they say about the French? I think I just found my new passion.
