Dark chocolate and lime bar

“The perfect chocolate is all about mixing the right ingredients and patiently allowing them to connect into the right taste sensation. That is why I created my own chocolate bar, bringing together the texture and flavour of velvet white chocolate and the acidity and freshness of lime juice and zest.”
