Anthon Berg Marcipan Brod

I never knew the popularity of marzipan! This Anthon Berg Marcipan Brod (no that is not a typo, I'm safe to assume marcipan is danish for marzipan) is made in Denmark. According to the wrapper this company has been around since 1884, I'd never guess marzipan was around back then rolleyes
A stylish reflective pink wrapper covers the 40g bar. The bar itself looks like a giganto fat Cadbury Finger. The hard 54% dark chocolate shell is all smooth and round on top, and cracks when broken in half. Inside the almond colored marzipan has a courser texture than the Darrell Lea Marzipan I previously reviewed, and smoother, sort of like green bean paste you find in mooncakes or mochi rice balls.
Sweetness of the marzipan is subtle, so the flavor of almond distinctly stands out. I enjoyed this a little more than the Darrell Lea Marzipan because of its less sweet taste. It might be the first chocolate bar I've seen with such a round, smooth chocolate shell.
