Pal-o-Mine

Ganong

This has to be the friendliest chocolate bar ever. Although, maybe it's just setting me up; claiming to be my friend. Then, when my guard is down, it'll stab me in the back and steal my GI Joe figures.... Hmmm... maybe it's just my own paranoia. Well, let's just see if this bar is any pal of mine.

Ok, I have to say that I feel like I'm being deceived. The wrapper says that it has peanuts and fudge, although it does use the letter "n" instead of "and", so maybe it's legal. The problem is I can taste no peanuts. There does, however, appear to be a somewhat, or so-called, fudge centre. It might taste a little peanuty, too. I guess when I bit into it I was expecting fudge like the chocolate fudge and chunks of peanuts. To my surprise, and I'll have to take another bite, it seems to have a more real fudge consistency. The question is the taste. Another bite is in order.

The flavour's not that great. If they’re going for peanut they really missed the boat. I'm not really sure what flavour it is at all. The only thing I can say is I'm not really a big fan. I also taste (and feel) what could be coconut. I don't like it when coconut is hidden in bars. I find it to be a flavour that I can normally do without, and this bar could do without it as well.
