It’s impossible to talk about chocolate without talking about the best things in life! And they are: the topping in a perfect balance between hard, almost crunchy, and comfort that crumbles in your mouth into bite-sized pieces, just enough to feel the next layer, more flavor, another dream between your teeth and fingers, intense enough to introduce the next layer that crumbles as soon as it appears, in a delirium between the bitterness of the cocoa and the sweetness that makes you ask for another slice.
