Beso de Negra

I heart S’mores. This Colombian candy called Beso de Negra is the candy equivalent or more like the unmelted version of S’mores. It is a big chunk of marshmallow on a cracker covered in chocolate. The bag I have has two pieces and costs $1.25. Seems expensive right off the bat, but let’s see if it lives up to its price.

The chocolate layer of my Beso de Negra consisted of cracked chocolate pieces. Granted, I have had these sitting around for awhile and it may have cracked from other candy I had placed on top of it. Even so, these chocolates were delicious! The inner marshmallow is huge and of a nice consistency. It is not sticky at all and is of a light, foamy texture. The cracker is not your typical S’mores graham cracker, but more cookie-like (which I like =D). Altogether, this Beso de Negra is really really good.

In English, “Beso de Negra” means “Black woman’s kiss.” I do not know why, but I wonder where they were going with that. In my opinion, $1.25 is pretty pricey for two pieces of chocolate, but most definitely worth it for these yummy marshmallow goodies.
