Quite an interesting flavor. It reminds me of something I've had when i was younger but I can't think what.... Perhaps if I eat some more it will help shake my memory....

Uh, there aren't any more! Guess I'll have to buy another bag.
(I'm a military brat, by the way, but I've never been further east than Switzerland, so either there are similar candies in other countries or another military member brought some of these over from Australia at some point. Any theories?)
My mom doesn't like them... more for me!
Joking aside, these DO have a very interesting flavor. I don't normally go for the citrus-infused-chocolate things (I quite like chocolate-covered strawberries but won't touch a chocolate orange, for instance, never mind that I love chocolate and I love oranges) but this has JUST a hint of fruit... not enough to identify it as pineapple, methinks, but enough to subtly alter the flavor of the chocolate itself and give it an unexpected bit of juiciness. And it is that unexpected juiciness that sets these candies apart from other chocolates and makes them the wonderful treat they are.
They were quite chewy when they arrived--not sure if that's normal or a result of shipping conditions, but I liked it no matter the reason it happened. Which of course means I have GOT to stop taking them with me to work... they get rather hard and crunchy when I've left them in my cooler for the hours I have to wait for my lunch break, and while they're still not bad that way, they're not as good as in the "chewy" stage.
