The normal Lindt dark chocolate is 70% and 85%. But 99%? Madness! Folly! And yet there it was as you can see. The packet had a warning that only experienced choclate lovers should try it. I laughed with disdain and tried a piece. Yeeeeuch! Well not immediately but within a few seconds. Not a terribly nasty taste, not that bitter either but almost pure cocoa butter. It was a plant type taste.<\/p>\n<p>Ah well, back to 70%\/85%.<\/p>\n<p>The 99% didn&#8217;t scan in too well compared to the 85%- Shiny lettering but it is real not photoshopped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chocolate is by and large a bad thing for me.
