I tried the 'Black Block Thunder' which allows you to enjoy the crunchy black bittersweet chocolate

From Yuraku Confectionery's popular chocolate confectionery 'Black Thunder' series, ' Pitch Black Block Thunder ', which is based on the theme of contrast with '

Black Thunder Bite Size ', will be available exclusively at FamilyMart stores nationwide from Tuesday, March 5, 2024. The chocolate is made with ingredients that bring out the black color, such as black cocoa powder, cocoa cookies, and chocolate chips, and I was curious to see what the pitch black chocolate tasted like, so I tried it.

Is a black official rival appearing this time?! This is the real 'black' 'Pitch Black Block Thunder' now on sale! | News | Yuraku Confectionery

The package of the 'black block thunder' looks like this.

The 'black block thunder' (left) was said to be the official rival of the 'Black Thunder bite size' (right), so I compared the packages. The name is 'Block Thunder' rather than 'Black Thunder', and the black block thunder puts 'black' in the forefront.

In addition, the 'Euraku' logo in the upper left corner of the package had been changed to 'Unique.'

In addition to chocolate, the ingredients include cocoa cookies, coconut, chocolate chips, almonds, etc.

The calorie content is 231kcal per 42g bag.

The regular Black Thunder bite-sized ingredients do not contain coconut or chocolate chips.

One bite-sized bag of Black Thunder is 48g and contains 258kcal.

There were eight chocolates in the bag.

The pitch black block sander (left) is next to a regular bite-sized black sander (right). Both are about the same size, but the pitch black block sander is black as its name suggests, and has a rugged surface.

The cross section of the pitch black block sander (left) and the regular black sander bite size (right) looks like this.

When you eat it, the almonds, chocolate chips, and coconut give it a harder texture than regular Black Thunder. The flavor is pitch black, but it uses white chocolate, and while it is less sweet than regular Black Thunder, the mellow flavor of the white chocolate and the bittersweetness of the cocoa spread in your mouth.

The suggested retail price of the pitch black block sander is 130 yen including tax, and will be sold in limited quantities at FamilyMart stores nationwide, except for some stores, from Tuesday, March 5, 2024.
