Review: Violet Crumble - Chocolate Covered Honeycomb from Nestle

Ok, I think this one should be renamed the Violent Shudder . . . I was intrigued by the prospect of chocolate dipped honeycomb--gooey, sweet honey trickling lazily from delicate crispy caverns. But what I experienced was much more like nails on a chalkboard, but inside my mouth. That's right, BIG shudder. Since I've never actually eaten chalk, I can only surmise this is what chocolate covered chalk tastes like.

Sorry, I must digress. I grew up eating Violet Crumble in Hawaii. It is just sickly sweet enough to satisfy this sugar addict. Perhaps it is an acquired taste or something that brings back fond memories since i cannot find it on the mainland, but the only criticism i have about it is that it tends to stick in your teeth. Try crumbling it over ice cream. It's really good that way.
