Customer Review
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2023
I've purchased other low carb items from Rip Van with good results. They had a modest effect on Brittle Type 1 Diabetes blood glucose and tasted good. They were moderately priced but in the rare treat budget for a fixed income Retiree.
Dark Chocolate has more purported health benefits and little impact on blood glucose so I decided to try them.
The nutrition label looked promising, ingredients list and description looked good, so I ordered a box.
Wafer packet box arrived well packed, However, the packet was much smaller than it appeared in the Amazon Store site.
Opened the packet and the individual wafer wrappers looked even smaller.
+ On the plus side:
Wafer layers thin and crispy with a satisfying texture
Multiple layers of intensely dark chocolate
Chocolate layers thicker than wafer layers
- On the Minus side
Dark Chocolate tastes like unsweetened Baking Chocolate, not Bittersweet
Dark Chocolate overpowers wafer flavors
Strong, persistent baking chocolate flavor
Unsatisfying, no satiety
Very pricy for quantity
Miniscule package and wafer sizé
Wafer flavor imperceptible
Rip Van OK for rare treats but not this variety. Washington Irving would be disappointed.
