Product review: Nestle Noir Mousse Delicate

I must apologize to Ginger over at Ginger Won’t Snap for the delay in writing this review.  I have been meaning to review these Nestle Noir Mousse Delicate chocolates for a while now.  

It’s obvious that I’ve been having a bit of a hard time lately, and chocolate is a wonderful thing to have on hand when you’re struggling – especially dark chocolate, which has natural mood-boosting properties.  

I do not have a big sweet tooth, and truth be told, I found the chocolates a little bit too sweet for my taste.  That being said, they probably would have fit the bill for many other chocolate lovers, since I have more particular tastes that the average person. What I did love about these chocolates was the filling.  While I found the outside a bit too sweet, the inside was delectable – it really does taste like chocolate mousse!  The inside was rich and creamy and the air bubbles inside made the chocolate nice and light.  I enjoyed the inside of the chocolates much more than their shell.  

The upside of rich chocolate is that it satisfies you very quickly, so that you can enjoy just a couple of pieces as a desert or a snack and feel satisfied.  You’ll feel better about yourself for having enjoyed a couple of nice pieces, instead of gorging yourself on an entire box of mediocre chocolates. That is how I enjoyed these, although I admit I did come home from a run one day and throw back three or four at a time. 

Would I recommend these? I think I would, particularly the dark chocolate ones.  I tend to prefer very dark chocolate, but many others seem to find it too bitter.  If you shy away from dark chocolate because of its bitterness, I would encourage you to try this dark chocolate selection, because it is still sweet and creamy, and does not taste bitter at all.  It was still less sweet than the milk chocolate though, and gave a better balance of flavours.
