Madhu Mango Lassi White Chocolate Bar Review

 

Fro-yo girl here. Getting fancy! Echo Park has a new chocolate shop called The Chocolate Dispensary. I found the Madhu Mango Lassi White chocolate bar there for $12. The bar is 2.6 oz. It's made with yogurt!

Madhu Chocolate is a craft chocolatier based in Austin, Texas, that combines Indian flavors with chocolate. The cacao is sourced from Colombia and the bean-to-bar chocolate bars are made by hand in small batches. Other chocolate bars include Masala Chai, Saffron Milk, and Cardamom. They describe Mango Lassi White chocolate bar as follows, “Experience the joy of India’s favorite beverage in our Mango Lassi White Chocolate Bar. We blend Indian Alphonso mangoes with velvety white chocolate, infusing it with aromatic cardamom, golden saffron, and a hint of tangy yogurt. This pioneering creation, our debut white chocolate, represents countless hours of flavor exploration. Each bite offers a harmonious dance of sweetness and spice, transporting you to sun-drenched mango groves and bustling Indian markets.”

Mango Lassi White chocolate bar: Interesting and complex – it’s not straight up mango as you can taste the richness of the cocoa butter and the hint of spices, even some tang from the yogurt. I liked it though I would prefer a real mango lassi.

Ingredients: Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Whole Milk Powder, Freeze Dried Indian Mango, Yogurt Powder (nonfat dry milk, live culture), Organic Butter Powder (organic butter [cream, water, salt], organic nonfat milk, vitamin E and vitamin C), Salt, Madagascar Vanilla, Cardamom, Saffron

Loacker Raspberry Yoghurt Chocolate Bar Review

Fro-yo girl here. I knew that Loacker made tasty wafer cookies but I didn’t realize that they also made chocolate bars with their famous, light, crispy wters inside. I spotted Loacker Raspberry Yoghurt milk chocolate bars at Grocery Outlet for $1.49 each. The bar is 55g and imported from Italy. It’s milk chocolate with a raspberry yoghurt cream and wafer.

One bar is 300 calories, 18g fat, 30g total carbohydrates, 24g sugars, and 5g protein. Loacker’s bar is thinner than Ritter Sport. There were six sections of the chocolate bar.

* Raspberry Yoghurt bar: The milk chocolate was soft and rich. It seemed to melt the moment I touched it. Inside the bar, there’s a thin layer of raspberry yoghurt cream on top of a thin wafer. The chocolate was very creamy and the flavor of it overpowered everything else. However, I could taste some of the raspberry, which had a mild tang. The wafer added a bit of crunch. I couldn’t taste yogurt. 

Ingredients: Sugar, cocoa mass, whole milk powder, coconut oil, skimmed milk powder, glucose syrup, wheat flour, whey powder (milk), skimmed milk yoghurt powder 2%, dextrose, soy flour, barley malt extract, raspberry powder 0.5%, emulsifier soy lecithins, raising agents (sodium hydrogen carbonate, disodium diphosphate) salt, reduced-fat cocoa, hazelnuts, Bourbon vanilla pods, spices.

Available flavors: Milk Crème, Dark Crème, Chocolate Crème, Napolitaner, White Crème, and Raspberry Yoghurt

Cost Plus also carries Loacker chocolate bars.

4 out of 5 stars.

Shirakiku Yogurt Chocolate Review

Fro-yo girl here. I found another yogurt candy to try, Yogurt Chocolate from Shirakiku. Yogurt Chocolate is a product of Korea. Combining yogurt and chocolate did not sound appealing to me, but I had to investigate.

Shirakiku Yogurt Chocolate comes in a 1.41 oz pouch. One serving (i.e., one pouch) is 190 calories, 10g total fat, 26g total carbohydrate, and 20g sugar. 99 Ranch Market was selling Yogurt Chocolate for $1.19, regular price.

The candy looks like a white M&M, though it’s a bit larger than your plain M&M. There is a thin hard shell, similar to M&Ms. Inside, you’ll find (brown) chocolate and an enriched yogurt core that’s white in the center. While it looked like an M&M, it tasted much worse. It tasted medicinal, like children’s chewable vitamins. It was sweet, bitter, and tasted like powder. I found it inedible. Children’s chewable vitamins taste better.

Ingredients: Compound chocolate (sugar, hydrogenated palm kernel stearin oil, cacao powder, whey powder, lactose, soy lecithin, artificial flavors, whole milk powder), sugar, powdered sugar, gelatin (beef), titanium dioxide, carnauba wax, yogurt flavor, Xylitol, yogurt powder (skim yogurt powder, skim milk powder, citric acid, yogurt flavor), vitamin C, magnesium stearate, maltose, monohydrated dextrose
