But there was no little map inside the box showing you which was which. However, they had an individual Bordeaux bar for sale in a clear wrapper, and it had little chocolate sprinkles all over it. So I tried the chocolate in my assortment that had the same sprinkles on it. The filling was kinda beige colored and tasted mildly like maple to me. Is this the elusive See's Bordeaux I've heard so much about?

Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter Um, yeah, not so much. That's why I'm wondering if it was actually a Bordeaux, even though it looked like the Bordeaux bar. It was good, but I didn't think it was fantastic. Do you think that's what it actually was---is it kind of a mild maple flavor?

Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter Thanks, friendofdd. That be it. And evidently my soul *is* dead and I'm not ridiculously, or even faintly, bubbly, because while I found it okay, it wasn't particularly delicious to me. Now the lemon cream and the orange cream. . . little spheres of heaven!
