Charles Hazelnut Chocolate Bar

The Charles Hazelnut Chocolate Bar was another from my random selection of chocolate bars I picked up in Barbados. Unlike the Almond Joy, this does actually come from the Caribbean.
However, my holiday would have been slightly tarnished if I tried it over there. The packaging does look appealing and the price acceptable at around 90p (BD$2,90) but the taste was far from delightful.
The aroma just reminded me of Nutella, which I suppose is no bad thing. Whilst the aroma had a very slight rum taste which descended into a bit of a raisins. Perhaps I’m being harsh? The flavour itself wasn’t chocolatey enough. This is something I can cope with if the other flavours counter-balanced. But with this I didn’t notice any strong hazelnut flavour.
The texture was slightly gritty, but then you expect that if it contains nut pieces.
