Full review
I am shocked to see no reviews on this chocolate bar!? Does anyone know that this type even exists?
'Bounty' adverts usual concern a man, or a women, and they closes their eyes, and slowly bites in to the Bounty.....Palm trees appear, the waves crash. The sun shines down on them... But does all this really happen when you bite a Bounty? Join me on my journey, as we review a 'Bounty -'Mango edition''.
Bountys come in a wrapper, about 16 - 18cm long. They are produced by 'Masterfoods' a company based in Holland. (They produce the likes of Mars Bar and Malteasers).
You will have to (Coconut) shell out around 34p to about 37p for these chocolate bars.
Now, what does this Mango flavoured Bounty look like? Well, as you enter a shop or any place that sells chocolate bars look for this:
A light blue wrapper, with the white coloured text 'BOUNTY' on it. Along side that is the image of cocnuts, palm trees and a beach. It's actually one of my favourite wrapper designs. The wrapper uses the same imagery as the adverts concering the Bounty. Perhaps it is true - perhaps one bite does send you in to a world of Paradise? However, also present on this particular version, is the image of lush mangos. Along side a yellow band stating that this mango flavoured.
There are two more variaties of 'Bounty' also, which are probably more known than this one I am reviewing.
1. Bounty in a blue wrapper. This is the milk chocolate version.
2. The Bounty in a dark red wrapper, with the sunsetting beach scene present on it is the dark chocolate version.
Anyway, now on to the taste of the bar:
Once you rip open the wrapper, you will see the rounded off shaped chocolate bar. Your nostrils will be greeted with a deep chocolatey aroma. There is no apparent smell of the mango.
As you open the wrapper, you may feel the chocolate bar, and think it was broken in half! However, it isn't. Bounty's come in 2 small segments.But you already knew that didn't you? Each measuring roughly 8cms in length each. You could either share one with a friend, or you could eat one peice and save the rest in the fridge for later. Or..you could eat them both one after another - like I do.
The chocolate bar itself is covered in a thick layer of creamy milk chocolate. (Or dark chocolate if you grabbed a Dark chocolate one).
What makes Bountys really different, is that once your teeth crack apart the the thick delicious smooth milk chocolate, your nostrils are greeted with a new aroma. In this instance, coconut fused with mango. It is a plesant and sweet smell.
The coconut is smooth, and itsn't gritty. I do not like coconuts in their normal state , however, I love Bountys. The coconut is rather fresh and moist. In any event, as the cocnut mixes with the milk chocolate in your mouth, a new texture as well as taste in created. It really is a taste that can not be put in to words. As for the mango, you can view small light orange coloured pieces wedged in between the moist coconut. The mango flavour is very apparent, and isn't at all weak. You know you are eating a mango variation of the bar, and won't mistake it at all for an normal one. The mango tint is sweet, but not enough to turn you off it.
The coconut mixes with the mango creating an even more exotic flavour than before. Not only that, you get an apparent (and plesant) after taste of both the coconut and mango.
Some of the coconut can get trapped in between your teeth, but it simply can be removed with a drink of with a few licks of the tongue
Uhmm...can you feel yourself drifing in to that paradise..the paradise from the adverts promoting Bountys?
Well, if you are on a diet, I must snap you from this paradise. Bountys contain about 268 calories as well as 14.6 grams of fat!
If you are not on a diet, relax, and continue to bite in to the yummy chocolate bar. I could easily eat 3 of these in a row if I wanted to. They really are that addictive.
Also available so I see, is Bounty Mango ice cream. I've never tried this, but I am sure it must be nice! However, when it comes to mini Bounty bars (like the forms the milk chocolate variations are be found in ) there appears to be non in existance relating to the mango variety.
These bars appear to be quite rare, at least I don't see them around that often. However, once you do locate one, they cost about 35p. I can say for sure that I have seen them at a Woolworth's branch before, so perhaps check there.
Bounty products are of an high quality and standard. You can't go wrong with them at all.
A taste of Paradise..
The wrapping's rear states that Bountys are made up of 21% pure coconut. Along side sugar, milk, salt, emulsifier and glucose. Bountys are also worth 57g each.
