Funsize Boost

Mmm chocolate and TV… made for each other! Or at least one prompts the purchase of the other…

Couldn’t eat a whole bar though. Lucky I got given a funsize Boost to try by a friend.

Oh, it’s by Cadbury and the wrapper even echoes the classic Dairy Milk purple. That’s a good start!

It’s not as small as I’d expected though, not far off the length of your average Milky Way. Like a big chocolate-box treat!

Outside it’s all smooth chocolate, hiding whatever is beneath.

Only one way to discover!

Nibble the end. Mmm, my fav kind of chocolate. Nice generous layer. Happy just with that. But must explore further.

Okay, found a caramel layer along the top and sides. A bit gentle, sweet and a little salty. Not as overwhelming rich as sometimes soft caramel is. It’s happy to work with the team, not flatten all in its path.

I think there’s a thin wafer layer between the caramel and the soft chocolate ganache in the centre. Maybe. There’s no crunch or bite… perhaps it’s just a visual illusion. But studded inside the soft chocolate centre are circular biscuity wafer bits. No real taste but crisp!crunch!

The ganache is kinda similar… all about mouthfeel over flavour. Lick, try and get a taste of the smooth softness alone… can’t do it, it doesn’t seem to have a strong enough flavour when isolated.

Ha, with it really being chocolate, caramel and crunch it’s a bit like a really chocolatey Chomp bar, without the chewiness. Not a bad thing.

Hmm, would I buy a full-size Boost? Maybe… I definitely wouldn’t turn one down!
