It’s going to be very hard to get anyone’s attention today when everyone is full of chocolate eggs and tales of Jesus. But let’s try. In preparation for the next few days, when so many will say they’ve had enough of chocolate, let me introduce you to some dark(er) and delicious bars.
The first is Luisa’s Whole Hazelnuts in 75% Solomon Islands cacao, £4/50g. I reached for this after a few days of chocolate abstinence expecting to feel worthy and nibble at it like one of the female actors in Hitchcock’s Rope (this is an obscure reference, but the girlfriend of one of the leads makes an olive last a really long time. I constantly try to emulate her).
