Here in Portugal, I picked one up yesterday for 1,50€... Not bad, right? Just out of curiosity, but what would you roughly pay for a Dolphin 30gr bar in the U.K.?

After finding your delightful blog a few weeks ago, I decided to have a go at this reviewing business and actually did my own - of the same chocolate. Look: Leysieffer offer quite a range of interesting chocolate creations, and on the hunt for a collague's beloved Chilli chocolate I also came across this Cinnamon variety. I'm a big fan of all things cinnamon and couldn't resist getting to know this variety a little bit better. On closer inspection, the wondrous creation turns out to be white chocolate (28% cocoa). A let-down? Better off going dark? The actual choccy colour is anything but white by any chance, and looks more like a delicious caramel. It smells surprisingly faintly of cinnamon, to be honest I'd have expected a stronger smell. The flavour is similar, it's definitely dominated by the white chocolate which is actually quite nice and doesn't overpower you with butter or greasiness. The only thing that's really missing for me is the actual selling point - the cinnamon! The flavour is very faint, and I ended up feeling more confused by reminding myself to taste it than anything else. So if you're after some really good white chocolate with a tiny hint of cinnamon, this one's for you. But if you crave full flavour, maybe look closer to Lindt's Christmas chocolate.
