I do love a chunky chocolate. The one I always wish I had to hand (but am also glad I don’t) is Me Chocolate bars – good chocolate, that also provides a good bite.
But I think I may have met my match with Temprd. It’s a small, Essex-based company that I came across at a farmer’s market. The bars come in two sizes: small (surprisingly large at 100g, £3.95) and large (200g, £5.95), across 14 flavours. It’s chunky and when I say chunky I mean almost impossible to break off, especially in the small bars where there’s less leverage. The moulds it’s made in are in a crazy-paving style and I struggled to get pieces off with my fingers, or my teeth, in the end going at it with a cleaver. The makers may want to look at this. Although I loved the thickness, the accessibility was not great.
