Sweet, decadent chocolates, where can you go wrong? SOMA continues to create magical chocolates like this Lemon Poppyseed bar, a creamy and bright treat with a hint of lemon. With each bite, expect a delightfully tangy and “custardy lemon” burst of flavour, with a bit of a crunch thanks to the poppyseeds.
