I’m dubious, dubious…
The raspberry chocolate did not taste like raspberries. The blueberry chocolate did not taste like blueberries. I doubt pear will be any better.
But open mind, open mind!
Smells bitter, an earthiness arising at the back of my throat. Breaks with a beautiful snap.
The chocolate is glossy, with shards of almond speared throughout the brown-blackness. Almost like stripes of stars! I think a couple of those specks are dried pear but there is way more almond than pear.
Bite.
Strong cocoa taste. Dark, not a lot of sugar or milk. Standard Lindt stuff. The almond adds extra crunch but not much else other than texture.
No pear taste.
Mouse nibbles. Ooo, a piece of pear! Carefully getting it into my mouth without much else, trying to get some pear flavour…
Nope. A little extra sugar, gritty feel of dried fruit, but doesn’t taste of pear. If I hadn’t read the pack I doubt I ever would have noticed anything other than the almond. Why so much almond? Why not more pear?
Poor Lindt, I want to like your chocolate! But once again, not enough fruit flavour.

You’re right, it could have been any fruit in there really. But I love it none the less, because it’s chocolate =D
