Taste test notes
u0026#149; Good colour contrast so looks like a chocolate hot cross bun, some chocolate pieces evident but little chocolate aroma and flavour evident.u003cbru003e u0026#149; When toasted there's lots of melted chocolate that's evenly distributed so there's good texture, but not much chocolate flavour even though there's good chocolate aroma.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Not enough chocolate chips but toasting intensifies the chocolate flavour.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Fudgy but not as chocolatey. Texture is better when toasted.u003cbru003e
