I love Violet Crumble. It has a different texture than Crunchie; not really ‘chalky’ as how you put it, but more brittle and finer than Crunchie. It easily gives when bitten into and the chocolate coating is just right to coat the roof of the mouth with rich, creamy, bliss. Crunchie, for my taste, is far more resilient – more difficult to break off with a bite. Crunchie also resembles the honeycomb texture made at home so I tend to lean more on Violet Crumble :)

Crunchie doesn’t have a gooey centre!

I don’t agree with this review at all. I much prefer Violet Crumble to Crunchie any day of the week. I agree with Matt, Crunchie is too sickly sweet, and it has a strange non-honeycombed gooey center. It eats like a badly set piece of honeycomb (anyone who has tried to make it knows what I mean), whereas Violet Crumble is perfectly set like the handmade honeycomb the gourmet sweet shop makes down my way. Mm. Perfect. That’s what honeycomb is, slightly chalky, it’s made with bicarbonate after all; and when you reduce the bicarbonate like in the Crunchie recipie, all it leaves is the crumbly sickly-sweet sugar. Blech.

I would have to disagree – the Violet Crumbles wins hands down in my opinion! I find Crunchie bars too sickly sweet, and the honeycomb tends to coalesce in my mouth into an unpleasant hard globule. Violet Crumbles tend to shatter more – a good thing – (I suppose that’s the chalky consistency you talk about?) and the honeycomb doesn’t linger in an unplesant way on your tongue.

I just went and bought some Violet Crumble (as we call it in our house, Violent Grumble), photographed it, and then found you’d already done it.

Curses!

Anyhow, I think they walk all over the Crunchie. Violent Grumbles forever!

The shatter and then slow gooiness of the honeycomb is what makes it GOOOOOOD!!!!

I bought the Lindt Hot Grenadine bar at Frankfurt airport last month when I was traveling back from Barcelona, and if I had known how delicious it would be, and how difficult it would be to find in the states, I would have spent all my last euros on them. I can’t speak to the Mango, but this one, made with pomegranate, is the perfect blend of tart and spicy to compiment the 70% dark chocolate. Now I need them here!

dear millymoo,
thank you VERY much for calling me a world class chocolate expert, i gratefuly accept that classification. the supermarkets here in berlin are actually completely stocked with all sorts of chocolate at this time of the year (i am planning a little field trip to the kadewe which is like the german smaller, less luxurious version of harrods) and the lindt chocolate has four different flavors which are: hot grenadine, hot mango, hot papaya and hot maracuja. all filled with fruit and different sorts of hotness. if you want and it is allowed by the regulations of this blog,i would love to send you an assortment of those.

greetings
