FIONA: The slice equivalent of Katherine Heigl in 27 Dresses: blonde, perfectly fine, unlikely to be nominated for any major awards.
I thought this one looked fairly average so tasted it with sights set appropriately low. The caramel, as expected, was a bit underdone and not very flavoursome. The lack of chocolate didn’t help – a dark chocolate layer would’ve helped immensely to balance out the sweetness. The texture from the shortbread base and crumb on top was the highlight. Nice and chewy.
TEXTURE: 8/10
FLAVOUR: 4/10
C̶H̶O̶C̶:CARAMEL:BASE RATIO: 7/10 (good amount of caramel to base, despite lack of chocolate)
OVERALL RATING: 6/10
ANDREW: This was a nice enough slice, but definitely in the C+ to B- range. It gets a pass, goes well with a coffee but I wouldn’t buy again. Nice texture, but both the base and the caramel needed more omph. Some dark chocolate on top may have improved it.
