Describe your dream chocolate bar.

Chocolate is a great flavor in different applications, like sauces or ganache, but I’m not a big fan of just a standard chocolate bar.

I really enjoy Bueno bars, but those aren’t strictly “chocolate bars” to me because of the crispy wafer things filled with cream.

Then there are those that are filled with nougats and caramels. Those aren’t strictly chocolate bars either, based on what I said above.

So, after establishing what I think doesn’t constitute a chocolate bar, I can say that for something to be a “chocolate bar” it needs to be made up of a large majority percentage of chocolate. Not just chocolate coated/covered.

My ideal dream chocolate bar would be an amalgamation of a Kit-Kat and a Bueno. Thin layers of crispy wafer with layers of hazelnut cream, all wrapped in chocolate.

For this to work and be accurately acceptable as a chocolate bar (by my personal standards mentioned above) it would have to have equal layers of chocolate for each of the wafer/cream combos.

Starting from the bottom: chocolate, wafer, cream, wafer, chocolate, wafer, cream, wafer, chocolate.

Given that this layout would retain that firm snap of chocolate, it might still be too much chocolate for it to be ideal for the texture I’m looking. So I’ll just stick to Bueno bars.
