Awesome that you got to taste a few of these bars. And I am so with you, the Lindt Noir Caramel & Fleur de Sel beat out all the others for me. The Lait Orange & Pistaches was original, but not exceptional. And you're right - you don't detect the pistachio very much. I am a fan of dark chocolate with orange, but perhaps just not with milk. Meanwhile, I would totally do the same - hide my favorite bar and leave out the others for the hubs to try, ha ha ! Akila, me too - three cheers for salted caramel as well ! ;) I hope you'll be able to find these bars. Let me know when you do.... I'm sure you'll love the Noir Caramel & Fleur de Sel ! Nicole, thanks so much for checking in. Definitely sweet, but definitely good too ! :) I'll have to check out your site, and see what you've been tasting lately... ! Elisa, my fellow chocoholic !

Not too sweet, a perfect balance of flavors, neither one overpowering the other. Loved it. I also tried the Lindt Lait Orange & Pistaches, and to my dismay, I didn't like it that much. I normally love the pairing of orange and chocolate, but this was too sweet and too orangey, with little to no pistachio flavor that I could detect. The Noir Caramel & Fleur de Sel is definitely going in my list of favorites, though. Now I'm off to hide my precious fave and leave the orange and pistachio bar out for my family to eat ;-) Ok, I came back after tasting two of the new Lindt bars you mentioned here :-)

I'll look for it the next time I go to the Coop! The Coop Silbern in Dietikon has a nice selection.

So what did you find on your Swiss travels last year ? Anything worth shouting about ?! As for the shape of a chocolate, I do think it affects the taste experience - perhaps not the actual flavor, but certainly how the taste is perceived, how it breaks and melts, how thin or thick as you said. A good question. Worth doing a new taste test to be sure, right ?! ha ha ! Jess, there is no better form of research than chocolate research ! And the Coop is our library ! ha ha ! We've definitely got similar tastes - Lindt noir fleur de sel all the way - and compost cookies - I am obsessed ! Totally obsessed with them, Momofuku Milk Bar is practically my first stop whenever I'm in NYC ! Love eating them and making them myself too. I had added marshmallows to cookies last summer (http://mykugelhopf.ch/2009/07/marshmallows-part-3/) and have been adding more and more fun stuff ever since... Thanks for sharing your link, going to check it out right now ! Jamie, your sweet search this week has begun – it’s only Tuesday and I am already impatient to hear back ! :)

My husband rolls his eyes when I call it "research". I'm still waiting for the perfect bar. When it comes to Lindt, the plain ol' dark chocolate and fleur de sel has my vote. Although, I'm now wishing that I had used one of these bars for the compost cookie recipe I just tried out. If you haven't tried it yet, you definitely need to give it a go. Talk about addictive...yikes. http://klutzychef.wordpress.com/2010/03/09/compost-cookies/ What’s funny is that I just picked up a couple of the Lindt bars at the Coop myself.

What fun it would be to search these out around Switzerland! I very much enjoyed sampling the chocolates there last year when I was able to spend a week in Lausanne. They are no doubt a little harder to find here but fun to read about nonetheless. It is interesting to wonder if the shape of a chocolate effects the taste. My first thought is no but then I will say that the older Lindt bars seemed a bit flat and thin to me for ideal enjoyment. I would love to try the Noir Caramel & Fleur de Sel in the new shape.
