Droste Holland: Pastilles – A Decent Mix of Milk and Dark Chocolate

About the size of a large coin, these Pastilles feature a mixture of half milk chocolate, and half dark chocolate, split down the middle. It’s a pretty simple product, so I’ll keep this review brief.

Droste Holland: Pastilles

The chocolate has a nice snap to it, and both sides are of an above average quality. This isn’t simply a case of the two sides having a different colour but tasting the same – the milk half is quite creamy and sweet, while the dark half has a nicely rich cocoa flavour. There’s no indication on the packaging as to the cocoa content of the dark side, but if I had to guess I’d say sixty or seventy percent. The two halves work together quite well, resulting in a nice balance between the creaminess of the milk chocolate and the more intense flavour of the dark chocolate.

It’s not the best quality chocolate I’ve ever had, but it’s above average and makes for a pretty good snack.
