Jasper + Myrtle’s Classic Milk is a precision-led bar that favours cocoa clarity and balance over indulgent sweetness. With understated branding and award recognition behind it, expectations lean toward technical correctness and a more grown-up expression of milk chocolate.
This is a bar that prioritises balance over sweetness, positioning itself for those drawn to coffee-led flavours rather than classic white chocolate indulgence.
This bar from Jasper + Myrtle takes a restrained approach, placing the berry alongside a cocoa-forward base instead of letting it dominate.
The brown-toned packaging sets expectations early. It suggests caramel warmth, dairy richness, and a coffee note that leans creamy rather than roasted or intense.
Zokoko’s Dark + White Mint sits slightly apart from the brand’s single-origin range. The soft green colour palette suggests a hint of mint, setting expectations for balance over indulgence.
Almond and raisin suggest a classic pairing, but the higher cocoa percentage sets a restrained tone. Going in, this feels less like a dessert bar and more like a considered everyday option, built for repeat eating, not spectacle.

Zokoko positions this bar as a considered expression of milk chocolate, and the presentation sets that tone immediately. The matte black box, finished with subtle embossing and a magnetic closure, feels deliberate and premium without excess.
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.
