The Good: Amazing flavors for the caramel, chocolate and coffee, Great ingredients, Awesome corporate ethics
The Bad: Nothing I can find!
The Basics: Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Sea Salt Caramel Latte Chocolate Coffee Bites are perfect!
I love chocolate. I tend to love dark chocolate and when it comes to new line-ups of chocolates, one of the chocolates I have been most excited about are the Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Chocolate Coffee Bites. The blending of chocolate and coffee is an intriguing and desirable thing for me. When looking over the Cold Brew line, I never would have guessed I would find a chocolate better than the Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Jet Black Chocolate Coffee Bites (reviewed here!). But, I did.
The Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Sea Salt Caramel Latte Chocolate Coffee Bites are perfect!
Basics
Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Sea Salt Caramel Latte Chocolate Coffee Bites are a fairly new candy. The Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Sea Salt Caramel Latte Chocolate Coffee Bites are like square bon bons. They come as a quartet of treats on a thin cardboard tray. The 1.39 oz. package houses four candies which are each 1" by 1" squares that are 7/16" thick.
Ease Of Preparation
These are candy, so preparing them is as simple as opening the wrapper, removing it from the plastic wrapper and the cardboard tray, and then eating the candy. There is no trick or mystery to eating Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Sea Salt Caramel Latte Chocolate Coffee Bites. As long as you have opposable thumbs and a mouth, the Cold Brew Sea Salt Caramel Latte Chocolate Coffee Bites are pretty much yours to enjoy!
Taste
The Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Sea Salt Caramel Latte Chocolate Coffee Bites smell richly and invitingly of sea salt caramel. The chocolate aroma from these Coffee Bites is entirely sublimated to the aroma of the promised caramel. The is a light scent of coffee in the bouquet, but the bulk of the smell that emanates aromatically from the Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Sea Salt Caramel Latte Chocolate Coffee Bites is that of the sea salt caramel.
In the mouth, the Cold Brew Sea Salt Caramel Latte Chocolate Coffee Bites are dry and milky on the surface. As the milk chocolate slowly melts away, it is infused with the darker, richer flavor of coffee. As the chocolate shell cracks, the fluid center of the Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Sea Salt Caramel Latte Chocolate Coffee Bites is revealed and the buttery, salty caramel center explodes delightfully in the mouth!
The Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Sea Salt Caramel Latte Chocolate Coffee Bites leave a salty, slightly sweet and dry chocolate aftertaste in the mouth. The flavor that lingers in the mouth is not at all unpleasant and it does not endure in the mouth for very long after the last of the chocolate is consumed.
Nutrition
These are candy, not a health food. Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Sea Salt Caramel Latte Chocolate Coffee Bites are not nearly as bad as they could be on the nutrition front, which is unsurprising given how good the ingredients in this chocolate are. The primary ingredients are milk chocolate, caramel, and sugar. There is nothing unpronounable in these candies; everything in them is easily identified.

They are not noted to be kosher, though they are gluten-free and made using Non-GMO ingredients. There are allergy warnings for milk and soy.
Storage/Clean-up
The package of these Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Sea Salt Caramel Latte Chocolate Coffee Bites remain fresh for quite some time. The ones my wife got me for my birthday would have expired on June 14, 2018, had we not eaten them up already. Given that they are wrapped in a very sealed package, it is hard to imagine just what it would take for these to go bad outside melting and refreezing. These Wild Ophelia chocolates do not seem especially susceptible to melting, though.
As for cleanup, simply throw the wrappers away in am appropriate place, as opposed to litter. Outside that, there is no real cleanup needed, unless one is eating them in a hot environment. In that case, it is likely one would need to wash their hands. If this chocolate melts into most fabrics, it will stain. Getting them to melt, though, takes quite a bit.
Overall
Wild Ophelia Cold Brew Sea Salt Caramel Latte Chocolate Coffee Bites are a perfect blend of chocolate, caramel and coffee that hits on all its promised flavors wonderfully!
