Lindt Lindor Dark Assorted Cornet 327g

This is the only chocolate package that it's a regular in my grocery shopping. I don't fancy the fancy-flavored or filled-in chocolates or bonbons. I don't like average milk chocolate at all. I enjoy chocolates that taste of chocolate, and dark chocolates are those that do it for me. T The three varieties in this cornet do taste of chocolate and I love them all for this very reason. They are the perfect size and very good quality, with the right amount of sugar for me, which is not the usual you find in average chocolates. The blue-foiled variety is the one with more milk, but still tastes of chocolate; it's very creamy and smooth. The silver-foiled is 60% cocoa and tastes a bit stronger, while the golden-foiled (and my favourite) is the 70% cocoa, which has a bit of bitter after-taste, something that I love. I wish this cornet had more dark varieties in it. The main downside is that the core of the balls gets very soft and even runny when the weather is warm or hot, so, I keep them always in the fridge and, if carrying them to work in Summer, I put them in my insulated lunch bag. Not the chocolates that I gift more often just because not everyone likes dark chocolate; otherwise, it is my preferred selection of chocolates.

Lindt Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel Squares

Lindt chocolates are my fav chocolates and I have tried other varieties of dark chocolate and salted caramel so I was expecting this to be as good. Unfortunately, this one doesn't have the balance of textures and flavors that I love from the brand. Chocolate is definitely good quality but there is too much caramel and it's too gooey. This being the case, it overwhelms the dark chocolate flavor. I'd rather have the caramel crystallized and less of it because, as it is, it's too sweet for me and I won't buy it again. On the other hand, the pieces are individually wrapped and have the perfect size for a coffee/tea snack and to carry them in my launch bag.
