JD Gross Extra Smooth Milk Chocolate (30% Cocoa) costs only £1.49. It is also of great quality—delicious, creamy, and velvety!
Biting into the chocolate, it starts to melt and become extremely velvety, coating the insides of the mouth. It also has a sort of waxy texture, which is satisfying. The chocolate’s taste is lightly sweet but rich in complexity and has a slightly malty note to it as well! Unfortunately, there is no hint of vanilla in this chocolate as promised on the packaging (see the back of the packing of the chocolate). Or if there is, it is too subtle and cannot be noticed.

Additionally, the chocolate is easy to break off and aesthetically snaps, showcasing the quality. The aroma of the chocolate is light, sweet, and has a milky tone. It is incredibly delicious when chilled, as you feel a crunch when biting into the chocolate! This helps to elevate the mouthfeel while also taking more time to melt, allowing it to surround your mouth more.
If you want to make a delicious hot chocolate with this- you should! It tastes much better than store-bought hot chocolate, especially if you add cream to it while cooking (or only use cream and this chocolate for a decadent treat!). The chocolate melts well and combines easily when cooking or adding it to anything!
Overall, you are getting a great quality chocolate bar for the price! However, when eating the chocolate, I didn’t notice much of the ‘vanilla flavour’ mentioned in the packaging. Alternatively, try the dark chocolate variant if you’re looking for something much richer than this chocolate!
