Comments

Taste test notes
  • Good chocolate distribution but not as evident in aroma and texture.
  • Flaxseed aroma and not much aroma when toasted. Texture looks great but turns to powder in mouth which is slightly improved on toasting. Powdery mouthfeel and flaxy aftertaste. Chocolate chips too small to be of note. Unpleasant. Flavour is slightly improved on toasting but needs more chocolate.
  • Nice looking for gluten free, shape is great. Flaxseed aroma and flavour is very strong. Where is the chocolate flavour?
