The name of this bar would lead you to believe that this wafer bar would be more chocolaty, but in fact it’s much more complicated than that. The regular Manner bar is a fairly chocolate filled affair. It may not look like it at first because of the white wafers on the bottom and the top, but the filling inside a regular Manner bar really gives you a nice chocolate pop. It’s one of the main reasons the Manner bar is one of the best wafer based bars out there.

This bar is a little strange because it promises, based on what I can tell from the name, to be even more chocolate filled. The thing is, that’s only sort of right, this bar is in fact more cocoa filled. There’s a difference in my opinion between being more chocolate filled and more cocoa filled. While you can’t argue that more cocoa is important in both cases, being more chocolate filled means that there are other ingredients as well, like some kind of milk and often sugar. This bar on the other hand tastes like they’ve just added more cocoa and skipped the other ingredients. Think of this bar as being closer to a dark chocolate, instead of a bar that just has more chocolate.

I’m not really sure if that’s exactly what has happened with this bar, but I find that this bar is a much stronger cocoa flavour. Maybe they have added more sugar and milk products as well, but the main flavour I’m getting from this bar is cocoa. How you feel about that depends on if you like chocolate more than anything else. I would say that this bar isn’t exactly as good as the regular Manner bar, but that’s because I really enjoyed the balance of chocolate and wafer before. This bar might have a little bit too much cocoa for my liking, at least too much that it cuts out the wafer flavour entirely. At least there’s still that satisfying wafer crunch, so not all is lost.
