Lindt Croquant de Caramel
September 30th, 2009 by Rosa
I bought this Lindt Croquant de Caramel bar in France. It’s “lait aux éclats de fin caramel”, or milk chocolate with caramel (toffee) bits/chips. I swear, French makes everything sound better.
Check out the description from the back of the box: “D’abord un plaisir pour les yeux avec sa belle teinte blonde ou l’on devine le caramel. Ensuite, vinet le plaisir de tous les sens: le fondant d’un chocolat au laut velouté marié au délicat croustillant des éclats de caramel blond.”
The bar smells lovely – sweet, dusky, thick, and caramel-y. The bar has a pleasant snap to it, surprising for a milk bar. It’s generously studded with crunchy toffee bits.
The milk chocolate (30% according to the back of the box) didn’t melt and coat the tongue like Lindt milk chocolate usually does. I wonder if it was a different formulation for this bar?
The toffee bits cleave cleanly under my teeth. They taste sweet and buttery, with honey highlights.
The milk chocolate and toffee is a bit sweeter than I tend to like my chocolate, but the combination does work well together. An OM.
Cybele from Candy Blog reviewed the U.S. version of this bar, called Lindt Toffee Crunch.
Stumble it!

ahh this is a real favourite of mine. It is such a tasty milk chocolate and one of the best of the Lindt Excellence range.
