Konfesta Chocolate Present Dark Review: A Bitter Disappointment

Konfesta's Dark Chocolate Bar: A Sweet Deception

summarizeEditor's Summary

I was really looking forward to trying this Finnish dark chocolate, but it's a total letdown. The packaging looks nice, but that's where the charm ends. The ingredients list is in a language I couldn't decipher, and the 45% cocoa content is the only redeeming quality. The chocolate itself is bland and lacks depth. The price is steep for what you get, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Konfesta's Dark Chocolate Bar: A Sweet Deception

I recently picked up a Finnish dark chocolate bar from Lenta for a relatively steep 500 rubles, but then I spotted the Konfesta Chocolate Present for a steal at 255.99 rubles for 180 grams, and I thought, 'Yes, please!'

However, my excitement was short-lived, as I soon discovered that this chocolate bar was far from what I expected.

Here's a rundown of my experience with the Konfesta Chocolate Present Dark:

Product Details:

Bar Name: Konfesta Chocolate Present Dark

Purchase Location: Lenta

Price: 255.99 rubles

Weight: 180 grams

Manufacturer: OOO 'Confectionery Factory Konfesta', Russia

Shelf Life: 1 year

Cocoa Content: 45%

Unboxing:

The packaging was pretty, but when I saw the bar itself, I was taken aback. The ingredients list was in a language I couldn't decipher, but the 45% cocoa content caught my eye.

The rest of the packaging looked like it was designed for export to China or other Asian countries.

About the Product:

Konfesta Chocolate Present Dark is marketed as a great gift for friends and loved ones, with the manufacturer claiming it's made with classic technologies and the finest cocoa beans, boasting a rich, praline flavor.

Ingredients:

The product contains sugar, cocoa butter, dry milk whey, cocoa, cocoa powder, soy lecithin, and vanillin. The product contains not less than 45% dry cocoa residue and not less than 20% cocoa butter. The production facility also handles nuts, peanuts, dairy products, and wheat (gluten).

Nutrition Facts:

Per 100 grams:

Protein: 6g, Fat: 32g, Carbohydrates: 55g

530 kcal

Appearance:

I was disappointed to see a broken bar through the packaging. It turned out to be even more broken than I thought, with large chunks that were impossible to break down.

It smelled sweet and started to melt quickly, leaving a sticky mess on my hands. I was so disappointed that I didn't even bother checking if it would burn.

Upon closer inspection, I found no added ingredients or inclusions. Maybe there's still hope that it's salvageable.

Taste:

This chocolate bar is more like a sweet candy bar with a ton of sugar. The texture is plastic-like and sticks to your teeth. I have no idea how they can sell this subpar chocolate under the dark label. And to make matters worse, it's overpriced!

The packaging design is actually pretty cool.

The taste is more like a sweet candy bar than a rich dark chocolate. It's way overpriced. The bar was broken when I opened it. It's just too sweet.

Verdict: I'm baffled as to how they can export this stuff. The packaging looks like it's meant for international markets, but the product itself is a letdown. I'm giving it one star and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

As a chocolate enthusiast, I was expecting a rich, velvety texture and a deep, dark flavor. What I got was a cheap, mass-produced candy bar that's more suited for kids than adults. The packaging may look nice, but it's just a facade for a subpar product.

The ingredients list is a mess, with a bunch of unnecessary additives that do nothing to enhance the flavor or texture. And don't even get me started on the nutrition facts. 530 kcal per 100 grams is outrageous, especially considering the low protein content.

I'm not sure what's more disappointing, the fact that this chocolate bar is overpriced or the fact that it's just plain bad. As a consumer, I expect a certain level of quality from the products I buy. This chocolate bar falls far short of that standard.

Overall, I would not recommend the Konfesta Chocolate Present Dark to anyone. It's a waste of money and a disappointment to the chocolate-loving community. If you're looking for a good dark chocolate, keep looking. This one's a dud.

check_circlePros

•The 45% cocoa content is a nice touch, but it's not enough to save this subpar chocolate bar. The packaging looks nice and modern, but that's about it. The decent weight for the price (180 grams) is another minor plus. The manufacturer is a Russian confectionery factory, which is a plus, but it doesn't make up for the product's shortcomings. The shelf life is a respectable 1 year, which is nice, but not enough to make up for the product's other flaws. The cocoa content is a good starting point for dark chocolate enthusiasts, but that's about it.

cancelCons

•The ingredients list is in a language I couldn't decipher, which is a major red flag. The chocolate is bland and lacks depth, which is a huge disappointment. The price is steep for what you get (255.99 rubles), and it's not worth the money. The build quality is subpar, feels cheap, and it's not something you'd expect from a chocolate bar. The ease of use is a non-issue, but it's not like it's a complicated product. The customer support is non-existent, at least for me, which is a major concern.
