Wal-mart chocolate

I just tried the 72% cacao Swiss dark chocolate by the Wal-Mart brand, Our Finest.  

  Weight:  100g Price:  $4 for two 100g bars, or about $2.20 individually Taste rating:  4.5 /5 Texture rating:  5 /5 Value for money:  5 /5

Summary: Holy freaking crap, that is damn good chocolate for two bucks!!

Texture:  Very smooth!  It starts to melt just a few seconds after I put it in my mouth.  No graininess at all.  Very pleasant!  

Flavour:  A big fruity flavour--surprising for department store chocolate--with a noticeable bitterness and sweetness.  If it were a wine, I'd say it had a "big fat grape" flavour.  Actually, there's something that tastes almost alcoholic.  I'd say this chocolate's flavour stands out the way port compares to red wine.  It's a bit sweet for my preference.  It's like the makers realised it was noticeably bitter, and added more sugar.

Other:  I didn't think a Walmart brand chocolate could be very good.  But I was pleasantly surprised!  It doesn't taste generic, it actually has distinguishing characteristics.  I would say it's almost as good as Lady Godiva--but hella cheaper at regular price!  And at this price, you can afford to snack on it :)
