Wrapped in Hunted + Gathered’s clean brown sleeve, the pale cross stretched across the front makes its Easter intentions obvious. This bar blends tradition with craft, folding pieces of Loafer’s Organic Hot Cross Buns into creamy Dominican Republic milk chocolate.
Hunted + Gathered Milk Chocolate + Brown Butter – Smooth Chocolate with Subtle Buttered Edges With “brown butter” in the name, and Pepe Saya’s artisanal butter in the recipe, expectations naturally tilt toward nutty richness and caramel depth.
Hunted + Gathered are known for restraint — chocolate-first bars that let inclusions play a supporting role rather than dominate. With Milk Chocolate + Coconut on the label, you might expect tropical sweetness or something closer to candy. Instead, the first impression is pared back.
Hunted + Gathered’s almond caramel milk chocolate promises a mix of creamy indulgence and textural crunch. At 46% cacao, it’s darker than mainstream milk chocolate, offering more depth with less sugar.
Hunted + Gathered’s minimal packaging sets the tone: understated, modern, and serious about chocolate. At 48% cacao, this “milk” bar hints at being something more grown-up than sweet comfort food.
We picked this up thinking “Cherry Ripe, but grown up.” With cherry and coconut front and centre, we expected something decadent but less sweet.
