Kandy Kritique -- Russell Stover Dark Chocolate Raspberry Creme Santa

This filled chocolate piece is wrapped in a Santa-motif wrapper, but out of its wrapper, the piece should be called Dark Chocolate Raspberry Creme Triangular Lump. If this thing looks like Santa, then I'm the Japanese emperor.
That said, however, this is a confection fit for an emperor. A delicate layer of robustly rich-tasting dark chocolate surrounds a satiny, sumptuous whipped raspberry "mousse" filling. The chocolate is not waxy and has a surprisingly smooth and creamy melt for dark chocolate, and the "mousse" would be perfectly at home in a pretty glass bowl at a fancy restaurant or enrobing a birthday cake, and has jamlike, fruity notes mixed with vanilla-creme notes. The whole yummy concoction melts in the mouth in a blissful symphony of chocolatey richness and a sweet spark of fruit-and-creme. A very craveable and satisfying candy. I could mow through a case of these things in the blink of an eyelash.

THIS CANDY HAS BEEN RATED D (DIVINE)
