Koko Black’s Salted Caramel Surprise walks a poised line between indulgence and restraint. The bar looks composed—clean lines, gentle sheen—but conceals a flowing, handcrafted centre touched with sea salt.
Sun-kissed caramelised coconut meets milk chocolate in a pairing that’s instantly familiar yet quietly refined. This is a flavour combination that could easily tip into excess, but the bar’s restrained look and soft golden tone suggest Koko Black is aiming for warmth and balance over outright sweetness.
Pink Salted Vanilla sets a calm tone from the outset. The geometric mould and soft blush packaging suggest refinement over flourish, and the bar itself—smooth, glossy, and pale—reinforces that intention.

Koko Black’s Pistachio Ganachio feels built for quieter, more contemplative moments. The pairing of a sweet-savoury pistachio filling with 54% dark chocolate promises balance rather than excess.

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.
