Lindt Swiss Bittersweet Chocolate Gold Bar, Chocolate Candy Bar, 10.6 oz

Quite a but of chocolate for the price. I’ve gotten real disciplined and eat only one square a day! It doesn’t seem too sweet either.

This is our house chocolate. We nibble it as is, use in torte recipes, and microwave with a little cream to make a great sauce for gelato. Wonderful texture, not cloyingly sweet. Not too bitter. Just right.

Lindt does the dark chocolate exceptionally well. It is not bitter - very smooth.If eating dark chocolate is heart-healthy, I must be the healthiest person in the world.Worth the $$$$$

I am a long time fan and consumer of Lindt chocolate and I understand it well. This was delivered to me in spoiled condition.

I've ordered this pack twice now. I can't have dairy while I'm nursing my colicky baby but these don't contain milk. I wanted something sweeter and creamier than the usual dark chocolate, and I appreciate how Lindt does everything at a premium standard. These particular bars are made in Switzerland and are top quality (incidentally, Chocolove also makes very good dark chocolate without dairy in their 55% line that is still creamy -- I've tried many many varieties of premium chocolate and Lindt and Chocolove are the creamiest dark imho).I was worried as we've had weather in the upper 80s all week and I was afraid the chocolate would melt if it were to be delivered while I wasn't at home. I quickly opened the box when it arrived, worried I might find a mess, but I was very impressed that with this shipment the chocolate had 3 or 4 ice packs and a thick insulation lining the box. It arrived in perfect condition. This package of 4 bars gets you an obscene amount t of beautifully wrapped chocolate, but somehow my husband has no problem running me out of my supply. Delicious!

It lasts a long time even at normal room temperature so long as it is not to hot.

Just in case you missed the size (10.58 ounces) or the picture provided to show the scale of these chocolate bars, let me reiterate what other reviewers have said: these are monster-sized bars. Take a look at the candy bar at the checkout lane of the supermarket--those things are in the 2oz or less category. This is 5x that! These 4 bars add up to 2.6 pounds of chocolate, and it is really good chocolate at that.I picked this up from a lightning deal--I didn't even know it existed until I saw the deal promotion. Glad I took the chance. The candy is smooth and melts on your tongue. I plan on using this for molding candy for my friends--much better quality than the melting chips and wafers, but it works the same. I just need to break it up so it melts easier, that's all.

This is quite nice chocolate. Excellent for culinary use. But even when you eat it straight, it is highly palatable. Not bitter at all. I completely understand why one reviewer described it as tasting like milk chocolate, because this was also my reaction, when comparing it to other bittersweet chocolate commonly available.Just to be clear, bittersweet chocolate is extra dark chocolate. Milk chocolate has more milk and sugar, and less cocoa. Dark chocolates have less milk and sugar and more cocoa. The amount of cocoa varies, and the more there is, the more bitter it is. This bittersweet chocolate has 49% cocoa and is thus much less bitter than many bars of dark chocolate you might come across. The minimum amount to qualify as bittersweet would be 35%.Of course, if you are only used to eating milk chocolate and especially relatively sugary American chocolate, then this will certainly taste bitter to you, because you don't have the palate for it (...yet). I don't care for very sweet chocolate, but I also don't enjoy very very dark chocolate. To me, this is a lovely balance. And the packaging is a joy to behold! Almost too pretty to throw away.
