Zotter Date Shiitake bar

When I saw this outrageous combination of ingredients I knew I had to try it. On closer inspection it also includes almonds, hazelnuts, apple brandy, butter, rice flour, coffee, cumin, chili, orange oil and rosemary oil! The 70% cacao almost seems like an afterthought! On first taste the date texture and flavour dominates, with chili coming through. A slight earthiness of fragrance and flavour is the only hint of mushrooms. I guess my palate is too dull to taste all these. Like all the Zotter bars, the colourful glossy wrapper encloses a satiny gold wrapper. Very classy.
