Delícias Holandesas - Mints Franceses de Chocolate Escuro

I was skeptical about the "processed with alkali" note on the label, but these mints have a smooth, almost creamy dark chocolate that melts perfectly. The milk confectionery coating inside adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance the cocoa kick. Perfect for a quick after-dinner treat.

The dark chocolate is rich without being cloying, and the mint filling has a nice cool bite that lingers just long enough. I keep grabbing another one every time I walk past the box, which says a lot since I usually ration sweets.

I love how the milk confectionery coating gives these mints a creamy contrast to the semi-sweet chocolate. The texture is smooth and the mint flavor is just right, not overpowering at all.
