Contained in a small, red packet, Tots are little nubbins of the brand's best-selling Ghana chocolate. Though petite, their shape is reminiscent of your basic chip crossed with the swirly stars of my youth (the kind that came in the cardboard box with the little cellophane window). Tots' presentation had more eye appeal than I expected. And their ridged shape added a certain sensory dimension. But, as is often the case with this kind of mass-produced candy, the chocolate was long on sweet but short on bona fide cocoa flavor.
By contrast, Bit is a small hunk of chocolate and will appeal to those who like biting into something meaty. In short, it is a small bar with a big bar persona. Composed of twin rectangular blocks, the square's increased depth compensates for its lacking length and width. In terms of taste, Bit was kind of cloying. Again, the chocolate flavor was sub par. Plus the center had an off putting, creamy consistency. Was the chocolatier simply trying too hard? Special for winter, Bourbon's little bar is bound to have a short shelf life. Let's hope the spring version is a bit better.
