Details: I LOVE this chocolate bar.  When I place it in my mouth, I embark on a glorious adventure of unique sensory delight.  This bar bursts in with a balanced, bright array of tropical fruits and aromatic spices... then gently recedes from the palate, leaving whispers of warm milk in its wake. One of my all-time favorite chocolate bars.
