Natürliche mit Chiquita™ Bananen!
Schoko-Bananen are made in Austria. According to the back of the box, they are “Chocolate bananas, soft creamy banana mousse coated with plain chocolate”. They are shelf stable, that should have been enough warning for me there. I do not like bananas, shelf stable banana food products I like even less. The smell of bananas makes me retch. I do, however, like soft, creamy mousse.
The ingredients aren’t too alarming, except for the presence of a gelling agent and an emulsifier. Doesn’t that seem like overkill? What could this do to your insides? Constipation is one very real possibility, I would think.
They also have chocolate strawberries and oranges! Just like at the fancy candy store at the mall only instead of real fruit, it’s emulsified and gelled essence of fruit!
Usually I present a full box of whatever treat I am reviewing but as you can see, the family got into this one first. It’s okay, I think you get the idea.
And um, yeah, does that look like creamy banana mousse to you? No, it looks rather like some sort of dang marshmallowy emulsified gelled substance, does it not? And that’s what it tasted like, as well, a too sour, chewy, banana-y flavored middle with a lackluster chocolate coating. Blech. Oh! You know what it tasted like? A banana circus peanut coated in low grade chocolate. Seriously foul. I can not dis-recommend this strongly enough.
