If rebooting movies and TV shows will continue to be a thing, I guess rebooting candy bars is possible. While the wrapper says \u201cNEW,\u201d the Nestle Crunch Dark Bar made its debut as a limited edition candy way back in 2005.<\/p>\n
Unlike dark chocolate bars that come from smaller chocolatiers with fancy names I\u2019m not 100 percent sure how to pronounce, like Vosges, Dagoba, and Chuao, the Nestle Crunch Dark Bar doesn\u2019t show off its cacao percentage. It keeps us in the dark by saying it\u2019s just \u201cdark.\u201d <\/p>\n
But unlike its 2005 version, this one tells us it\u2019s made with 100 percent real chocolate and contains no artificial flavors or colors. So does that mean the original version wasn\u2019t made with 100 percent real chocolate and contained artificial flavors and colors?<\/p>\n
Wait! Don\u2019t tell me! I don\u2019t want my memories of the 2005 Nestle Crunch Dark Bar tainted because I loved it and was a little sad when it went away.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
As you can probably guess, Crunch Dark is darker in appearance than the regular Crunch bar. But it\u2019s not as dark as chocolate bars from companies whose names I\u2019m not 100 percent sure how to pronounce that go into the 60-70 percent cacao range. The rice crisps are just as crunchy as those in the regular Crunch bar.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Its flavor straddles the line between milk and dark chocolate. It may disappoint those who love dark chocolate\u2019s bitter bite, but it doesn\u2019t disappoint me. To be honest, I probably would\u2019ve liked this bar less if it was more bitter. What Crunch Dark does is make me realize that regular Crunch bars are too sweet. The darker chocolate tampers down the sweetness, but that positive brings up a different problem. <\/p>\n
They\u2019re easier to eat. Well, if you consider that a problem.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ve had so many regular milk chocolate Crunch bars over the years that my taste buds are tired of them, but Crunch Dark is better tasting. I enjoyed it in 2005 and I\u2019m enjoying it in 2018.<\/p>\n
Disclosure: After I purchased this from 7-Eleven, Nestle sent me a box filled with Crunch Dark Bars and a couple of bags of Buncha Crunch Dark that I didn’t know it was sending. I just thought I’d be transparent about that and let you know – now everyone say it with me – that it didn’t influence my review in any way.<\/b><\/p>\n

\nPros:<\/b> I think they’re better than the original Crunch bar. Straddles the line between milk chocolate and dark chocolate. Reduced sweetness makes them easier to eat. The wonderful crunch from the rice crisps.
\nCons:<\/b> Might disappoint those who like their dark chocolate bitter. Reduced sweetness makes them easier to eat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
