Complaints & Complements: I have had a wonderful streak of bars over these last few reviews, though I admittedly really like Pump Street; their chocolate is delicious and their packaging just makes sense. I don’t normally rate inclusion bars very high, because I think that it means that the chocolate relies on the inclusion, but this is an example of everything displaying its wares in harmony.
Context: Sitting in my apartment in Mexico, preparing to head to Cuba.
