It starts with bitterness of cocoa powder , continues with sweetness of dates, characteristic flavor of figs and finished with freshness and sourness of orange juice. Sweet dates complements bitter cocoa and neutralizes bitterness. Fig flavor and crunchiness of its small pits brings another note to this snack. Finally orange juice levels it with freshness and sourness that complements sweetness from dates and figs.
