Lindt’s Classic Recipe Raisin & Nuts Bar

Lindt Chocolates recently sent me their newest bar, the Classic Recipe Raisin & Nut Bar, to try out.
First off, the bar is delicious! I’ve been a fan of Cadbury’s Fruit & Nut Bar (which I couldn’t help but compare it to!) for years, so this was right up my alley. The Lindt bar contains Swiss milk chocolate, raisins, and roasted hazelnuts and almonds. The additions are distributed generously throughout the bar, making for a very satisfying treat!
And I know I’m an oddball for not being crazy about hazelnuts, but the amount in the bar is perfect and compliments the almonds nicely, and together they make for a pleasant, light nutty taste. Another bonus is that the raisins also all “felt” fresh — sometimes products with raisins in them will get a chewy or inedible bit here and there, but my bar had no such issue.
The milk chocolate is classic Lindt — smooth, tasty and mild. I think milk chocolate always goes best with additions like fruits and nuts — dark chocolate is too tasty on its own and usually renders add-ins unnecessary.
The Lindt Classic Recipe Raisin & Nuts bar is 4.4 oz and retails for about $3.50. Look for them on your grocery store shelves, or check them out at LindtUSA.com.
