I like trying different chocolate bars. Ghirardelli is one of my favorite brands, they have the best dark chocolate! (Specifically the Twilight Delight).
Me and my mom were shoppin' the other day and they were on sale so I picked two of them up, one being the Raspberry, I don't remember trying this one specifically.
Ingredients: Sugar, Unsweetened Chocolate, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Cocoa Butter, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Water, Milk Fat, Freeze Dried Raspberry Powder, Corn Syrup, Soy Lecithin Emulsifier, Fruit and Vegetable Juice for Color, Vanilla, Potassium Sorbate, Gelatin.
This specific bar isn't my absolute favorite. One, being the HFCS in it, I didn't realize that when I bought it. Two, maybe it's the fact that the weather is warmer, but I think that there's more coco butter in this bar than there is in the other dark chocolate bars.
It does have the great bitter taste, it's just a little to butter-y for me and dark chocolate. That's a great thing about their 'pure' dark chocolate bars, when you get the Twilight Delight it doesn't melt so easily meaning it doesn't contain much cocoa butter, but the better part of the cocoa bean.
The one nice thing I liked about it was the seeds in the filling. When you buy chocolate bars that typically have fruit filling it tastes fake and artificial. I have yet to find a Ghirardelli bar with a fruit filling that tastes artificial.
The bar itself costs around $2.68 at our Giant Eagle which I believe is the same price as their straight chocolate bars. The straight chocolate ones are bigger though, both are 3.5oz. I always think you're getting more in the straight chocolate just because the bars look bigger.
The power of packaging! Lol.
Price wise, I give 5/10. I'm cheap, but at the same time I would much rather spend the money on these types of chocolate bars over Hershey's. I feel that Ghirardelli is better quality.
Taste wise 5/10, it's not my favorite flavor by the, it also isn't bad, either.
Over all, this bar was really good, and I would definitely recommend it to a friend. But I probably wouldn't purchase a full bar on it's own, maybe in one of those Squares Mix packs, but not on it's own.
