The thing is, I don't generally buy chocolate -- I work at a Ghirardelli store, and the square or two that I have during my breaks is all the chocolate I need during the week. But this "fireworks" bar was too intriguing to pass up. <br /><br />The experience: At first bite, it tastes like a Nestle Crunch Bar (no heat, and the popping doesn't start right away). However, once the chemical reaction starts and the popping gets going, and once the heat begins to hit the back of your mouth, it really is like eating a sparkler! It doesn't actually taste that good, but the sensation is so funny that I found myself giggling while I ate it. I haven't had so much fun eating something since I don't know when.<br /><br />I wouldn't buy it again for myself, but I'll be buying a few more to give to my coworkers. Most "fun" food is fun because of the taste, but this bar is purely about the experience, and it delivers that in spades!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
