Taste test notes
u0026#149; Chocolate pieces evident and chocolate aroma and flavour comes through well.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Toasted bun did not present as well as untoasted bun.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Milk chocolatey colour, full of chocolatey goodness.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Even appearance, milk chocolate brown, nice glaze. Chocolatey smell. Texture is so doughy it's almost fudgy.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Better fresh, a little dry when toasted.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Nice milk chocolatey flavour, no spice. Toasty flavour over powers chocolate a bit. This one is better fresh.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Choc chips are visual on outside, fudgy and doughy. Needs more glaze. Love it toasted, no need for butter (maybe add nutella!), what you see is what you get, colour is nice – one of the better chocolate buns I have had.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Looks great, good amount of chocolate chips. Toasted – visually is perfect, chocolate smell is good, fluffy and dense from chocolate chips, flavour hit the mark.u003cbru003e
