Getting to try some decent chocolate is always a real treat, so when we were sent some Coco Pzazz<\/strong> chocolate bars to taste, the anticipation and expectation was high.<\/p>\n

The two neatly wrapped bars each containing 80g slabs of chocolate are a joy to the eyes as well as the taste buds. As with all of Coco Pzazz\u2019s packaging, which is also environmentally friendly, it is decorated in interesting designs which give their products great shelf appeal and gift giving potential.<\/p>\n

The chocolate bars are moulded with a classic breakable block pattern giving 12 rectangular pieces, making it ideal to share.
The aroma is enticing and the chocolate shines with quality, this is proved by the good \u2018snap\u2019 when broken.<\/p>\n

The two chocolate bars we received followed a spicy flavour theme, each with its own distinct flavour profile.<\/p>\n

Coco Pzazz Ginger Dark Chocolate Bar<\/h2>\n

Dark chocolate is not everyone\u2019s favourite but this bar is so smooth and delicious, we think it could convert staunch milk chocolate lovers. For those who can\u2019t eat dairy products they\u2019ll be pleased to know it\u2019s entirely vegan.<\/p>\n

The 70% cocoa content chocolate combined with pieces of crystallised ginger is a great match. A little zingy heat with the richness of the chocolate pair up for a sophisticated indulgent treat.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re particularly fond of ginger with chocolate and this one from Coco Pzazz completely won us over.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_divider divider_weight=”2px” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-19px||-36px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”0px|||” animation_style=”fade” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/artisanfoodtrail.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Coco-Pzazz-Chocolate-Bars-Bara-Brith.jpg” alt=”Coco Pzazz Chocolate Bars 03 \u2013 The Artisan Food Trail” title_text=”Coco Pzazz Chocolate Bars Bara Brith” admin_label=”Bara Brith image” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Bara Brith text” _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font_size=”15″ custom_padding=”||12px||false|false” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Coco Pzazz Siocled Bara Brith Milk Chocolate Bar<\/h2>\n

Drawing upon their roots, Coco Pzazz have created a milk chocolate bar that captures the taste of the traditional Welsh Bara Brith. Literally meaning \u2018mottled\u2019 or \u2018speckled\u2019 bread, it is a tea loaf enriched with dried fruit and spices. Served sliced and liberally spread with butter Bara Brith has been enjoyed since the 18th century.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Did You Know” _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font=”Arvo|700|||||||” text_font_size=”15px” text_line_height=”1.4em” header_3_font=”Alfa Slab One||||||||” background_color=”#6dbfe6″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_layout=”dark” custom_padding=”10px|10px|10px|10px” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” text_text_shadow_style=”preset2″ header_3_text_shadow_style=”preset2″ border_radii=”on|8px|8px|8px|8px” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Did you know?<\/h3>\n

The raisins are hand-placed to ensure that a piece of fruit is included in every bite. That\u2019s what makes Coco Pzazz chocolate so special as a lot of thought and care goes into each bar.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][et_pb_column_inner type=”1_2″ saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Bara Brith text” _builder_version=”4.16″ text_font_size=”15″ custom_margin=”||4px||false|false” border_style=”solid” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

So how does this translate into milk chocolate bar? For a fruit-filled experience, the chocolate is studded with raisins and the addition of spices is just right. The combination is a well-round blend of coriander, cassia, ginger, nutmeg and fennel giving a warm and comforting flavour. We reckon this is the chocolate bar to pack for a long hill walk<\/p>\n

Continuing with the Welsh theme, Coco Pzazz have chosen some artwork by a local artist to decorate the packaging. The imagery \u2018Rowlyn Isa\u2019 is by the landscape painter, Chris Neale<\/strong><\/a> and captures the Welsh countryside and homely cottage where you could imagine the smells of a baking Bara Brith wafting through the valley.<\/p>\n
