I can only wonder at the conversations that took place at board meeting behind this flavor. Mild chocolate? How did they come to the conclusion that chocolate lovers would want a flavor that tastes less like chocolate?

I love chocolate. This tastes roughly like one part chocolate milk diluted in four parts water. Totally nonoffensive, utterly bland, completely pointless. This is entry three for Glico's Mousse line. I can at least say that "bland chocolate" is an improvement from "soap," but it's still a far cry from good candy.

Smell
Exactly and uncannily like a Kit Kat. 4/5

Taste
Like an unusually bland Kit Kat. 5/10

Texture
Thick frosting; osteoporotic stick. 3/5

Presentation
Appealing Mousse-line design with eerily reddish chocolate. 4/5

Total 16/25
