I had a Divine: Fruit and Nut Dark Chocolate bar (3.5 oz). It had good chocolate flavor, but it was not very sweet and very cocoa buttery. Poorly balanced. Hey, if I’m gonna eat candy, I want all the guilt. It was very unsatisfiying. My wife tasted it later (I didn’t finish it) and she agreed that it was weak. Won’t buy again.

Past time to review the plain Divine, Dom! It’s good, smooth and less bitter than most 70%s. Also cheaper – Asda have it at 91p.

But anyone wanting to economise has missed the boat – earlier in the year Asda and Tesco had a price war on it and it got below 60p for a while.

“Maybe I would have been happier with the plain chocolate version, which I intend to review at a later date.”

I’m looking forward to that later date!

j.w. :)

I love Divine Chocolate, all of it. But expecially the dark. The cocoa butter means it really does melt in your mouth. The rich smooth 70% is to die for. Definatey the best dark chocolate in the supermarket.

+ I met one of the cocoa farmers involved and they where awesome.

I tried some last November. I thought it was good, but not great. I found it slightly waxy compared to some other fair trade bars like Green & Black’s or other upscale brands. But it was certainly less grainy/sweet than a Cadbury bar and the price is usually a bit lower than the other upscale brands I see.
