Hershey’s Special Dark: Raspberry Flavored with Macadamia Pieces
Hershey’s Special Dark with Raspberries and Macadamia Pieces is the perfect example of how I am a sucker for pretty much any Limited Edition candy bar - even when it’s full of stuff I don’t typically care to eat.
Although I do not much care for raspberries in my chocolate, I certainly don’t begrudge those who do. After all, I’m a freak for the orange in chocolate. And drizzled over bananas? A slice of heaven, for sure. But fake raspberry flavoring, while just fine for Jell-O and Lik-m-Aid, has no business with chocolate.
Hershey’s would have been wise to call it a day after the simple addition of the macadamia nuts. I don’t generally care for this nut enough to indulge in it, and was expecting the thin bar to be overwhelmed by their exceedingly oily and bulbous nature. The nut pieces, however, are perfectly sliver-sized, adding a subtle and pleasant texture and flavor. It’s a shame they mucked it up with the fakety-fake medicinal faux raspberry.
Less is always so much more.
