If it weren't for the bougie presentation I'd be interested to try a chocolate strawberry pistachio candybar but this would just make me feel like an asshole eating it even if it was good.

The pistachio bit would probably be decent, but strawberry syrups always clash with chocolate in a way that diminishes it imo. Fruit syrups in general, really. Actually, fruit and chocolate just clash in general. Chocolate should lean towards bitter and savory, and mixing in something that's tangy and cloyingly sweet just doesn't work.

It's like adding cinnamon or similar spices to coffee, it just doesn't work and makes something foul.

I love a chocolate covered strawberry though. Chocolate and fruit can work sometimes.
