Has science gone too far???
Alrighty, time for some investigative journalism. First off, I just noticed it doesn& #39;t actually say "chocolate" on the package (it& #39;s a "coffee bar"), the first ingredient is a combo of words I& #39;ve never seen before ("whole coffee matter") and despite the

The bar itself. It& #39;s kinda cute? It also kinda smells like a Coffee Crisp except more burnt-ish.
First bite. Oh god.
I& #39;ll admit, it& #39;s been awhile since I& #39;ve had a double-double but I slugged them all the time in university (sometimes triple-triples, and if it was a particularly bad day, a five-by-five).
Anyway, I& #39;m 99.98% sure double-doubles did NOT taste like this.

Imagine dollar-store chocolate Easter eggs that didn& #39;t sell, so the manager put them in the back to put them out again next year.
That& #39;s what I& #39;m getting both taste and texture-wise — this kind of fake creaminess, and something that& #39;s somehow both soft/brittle at the same time?

On the taste, there& #39;s also a bit of burnt/bad black licorice flavour combined with a huge punch of sweetness that lingers in your mouth after the bar is long gone.
It& #39;s kind of nostalgic for me, weirdly. For the longest time my parents only bought cheap/on-sale chocolate and this reminds me of my childhood.
There are what I assume are coffee grinds incorporated into the bar that give it a bit of fun texture/grittiness. The grits also linger after the bar is gone (it melts quite nicely in your mouth, actually).
