Taste test notes View more details.

A collection of taste test comments from our panel of three expert judges.

• Nice spicy aroma with sweet chocolatey overtones when melted. More like a traditional bun with chocolate chips. Even spread of small chocolate chips. Soft texture with a slight chew. Can taste some spice with the chocolate.
• Appearance was pleasing with a nice chocolate cross. When broken open the aroma of spice and chocolate was evident.
• The texture was light and the flavour was pleasing with the chocolate coming through in both the untoasted and toasted.
• Lots of chocolate evident but flavour more sweetness than chocolate. Better toasted as choc flavour more evident.
