Toffee Brownie, Caribou

11 Mar

20130311-143056.jpg

This is the first “commercial” bar I have featured on this site. The bar is not made by the loving hands of a matronly woman at a local church. Instead has been made in a factory, presumably in the Minneapolis MN area (Where Caribou is based out of), by an unknown person.

The bar itself is dense. It is almost flour-less. The bar was served warm, and the warmth really brings out the smoothness of the chocolate used. Caribou, for being a large company, does well with having good chocolate to serve their customer base, try a hot chocolate there sometime, super yummy. The toffee on top of the bar adds flavor, but not much texture. I hardly noticed the toffee bits when eating the brownie. I expected a crunch like a Skore or Heath bar. There was none. I wonder if this is an artifact of the baking process, or if it comes from the delay between manufacture and consuming of the bar.

The taste is fine overall, I wonder about the preservatives present though.

I went to a church meeting last night and was able to try out this yummy bar.

The bottom layer is brownie, perfectly moist and chewy.  The upper layer is cream cheese with chocolate chips mixed in.  Sorry for the photo, it was taken this morning after the bar sat in the fridge overnight…
