It has been a couple of weeks since the last blog. Basically I was on a bit of a health kick (well, no chocolate) but missing this so thought I'd get in on it again.
This is the Punta Ballena Top x 3 WITH SMARTIES!!! We have 2 layers of chocolate mouse


What you got?



This is the Punta Ballena Top x 3 WITH SMARTIES!!! We have 2 layers of chocolate mouse, 3 layers of biscuit, covered with chocolate and topped in smarties. The wrapping is making a huge deal about the fact we have the smarties and the "Top" reminds me of those old "Now that's what I call music" cassettes (who can remember those then?).






Does the look of it match up with the wrapping?

What do you think? One smartie....ONE SOLITARY SMARTIE!!!! I believe a call to trading standards is needed here. It's well coated in chocolate and the biscuits are not dead level but ONE BLOODY SMARTIE!!! SERIOUSLY!?!?!?!








 




The most important bit. The Taste?

As you can tell by the picture I pulled the smartie off and tried it. Tasted as you'd expect.

The alfajor itself it good. Everything tastes remarkably fresh and the biscuit has a good crunch to it. Each bite is a satisfying piece of chocolate awesomeness and the after taste suggests that it's not too rich. 

Overall:
I'm gutted about the lack of smartie action that was promised. Had we had more I would be giving this a 9 easily. The rest of the alfajor is as good as I've had. Perhaps I was unlucky with this...will need to buy another one to check

A good 8/10 (losing a mark for pitiful smartie count).

  1. One solitary smartie...haha...here in uruguay we call the smarties "rocklets".

  2. This is a solid choice, although the rocklets fall off pretty easy.
