Here at Chocablog, we've been reviewing chocolate since 2006. It's what we love.
Every day we review weird and wonderful chocolates from around the world, and you can find every one of Chocablog's chcoolate reviews right here. And if you know of some great chocolate that we haven't reviewed yet, let us know and we'll try to track it down!

Mast Brothers 72% Madagascar With Fleur de Sel
In chocolate-tasting circles, the name ‘Mast Brothers‘ is spoken with quiet reverence. Two brothers from Brooklyn who have somehow managed to make – I’m told by reliable sources – some of the best chocolate in the world. I had to find … -
Choki Raspberry Dark Chocolate
Choki of Brockley were new to me at last week’s London Chocolate Festival. Based in Brockley in South London and started by Gemma and Rowan just last year, they produce a range of handmade bars and truffles. Naturally, the stuff in … -
Gut Springenheide Real Eggshell
In the aisles of holiday goods, this Easter egg caught my eye — hazelnut truffle in a real eggshell? That’s a new one for me. It was three or four dollars, but looked very pretty, so I had to try … -
Paul Wayne Gregory Salted Caramel Lollipop With Popping Candy
I think it’s fairly safe to say that for many people Paul Wayne Gregory was something fo a highlight at the South Bank in London last weekend. If the seemingly permanent crowd his stand were anything to go by, he … -
Zotter Bacon Bits
On a cold and rainy spring afternoon, I ventured into town and into the depths of John Lewis’s food hall to meet the man from Zotter and sample his wares. That’s him in the picture. And the man with the … -
Galaxy Counters
Galaxy Counters – a blast from the past, reincarnated in sexy new packaging. Well, I say ‘sexy’. It’s really just a plastic pouch, but it’s a step up from what we used to have in the seventies. Clearly they were aimed … -
Hotlix Chocolate Covered Insects
“Cricket anyone?” would normally result in my explaining that standing in front of three sticks of wood while someone hurls a lump of leather-wrapped cork at me isn’t really my thing but, as you may have guessed, the cricket in … -
James Dark Chocolate Cupcake Egg
I’ve reviewed a few James Chocolates products before and had mixed experiences. More often than not, they’re beautifully presented original designs, but the actual chocolate has left something to be desired. I usually find James products in the “expensive chocolate section” … -
CocoaNymph Collection
When you receive an e-mail asking if it would ok to send you some chocolate to write about, it is tough to say no. And that’s why I got a lovely package of goodies from Vancouver’s CocoaNymph, including a shiny … -
Galler Mini Eggs
I was a little surprised when this arrived – no trademark Galler orange packaging for these eggs, just a simple sellophane bag tied with a neat little ribbon. At a shade under £5 for nine eggs (that’s a little over 50p … -
Artisan du Chocolat Creme de la Creme Egg
I picked this little egg up from Artisan du Chocolat’s stall at the London Chocolate Festival on Friday – a freebie for remembering their ‘magic word of the day’. They come in milk and dark chocolate varieties. This is the milk … -
Kettle Confections Orange Almond Nougats
From Kettle Confections comes this red box of Chocolate – Orange Almonds Nougats. I’m loving the Minnie Mouse style it imparts, as well as the fact that it is tied, once again, with a real fabric bow. What we have … -
Rococo Chocolates Quail Eggs
Two days ago I bought a house. As you can see, it’s not a very big house, but with London property prices the way they are, it’s all I could afford. The house in question was purchased at the London … -
Galler Mendiants
When I received this tube of Mendiants from Galler, my first question (and probably one you’ve already asked) was “What are Mendiants then?” Luckily the answers are online (as ever) and so I quote from Wikipedia: “A mendiant is a traditional … -
Berry Scrumptious Chocolate Bars
From the people who brought you the ultra-expensive and ultra-yummy chocolate dipped fresh strawberries comes this collection of freeze-dried berries in chocolate. We have four bars here, in a combination of strawberries and raspberries in white and dark chocolate chocolate. In … -
Gourmet Provisions Hazelnut and Chocolate Soft Nougat
I was in my local Foodland a few days back, and saw Nougat. Being something of a sucker for a nice Nougat, I just had to pick one up to see what it was like. I have to confess mixed feelings … -
Paul A. Young Sea Salted Caramel Egg
Ask me to list my favourite chocolates of all time (which people do all too frequently), and right up at the top of that list are Paul A. Young’s sea salted caramels. We saw quite a craze for sea salted … -
Trader Joe’s Ice Cream Bon Bons
Being that I was already at the store on Chocablog’s fourth birthday, I thought it only fitting to pick something celebratory up. The frozen isle at Trader Joe’s has some tempting-looking desserts; I opted for the more average Ice Cream … -
The Gourmet Chocolate Pizza Company
I can’t say the words “gourmet”, “chocolate” and “pizza” are words I would consider using to describe a product, but as you can see, that’s apparently what lurks inside this nine inch pizza box. I have to say, I wasn’t … -
Nestlé Noir L’Assortiment
I’ve always liked big boxes of chocolates – the impressive looking ones that you shouldn’t really buy for yourself because there are many other more sensible things to spend your money on. But this box was on sale and, let’s … -
Asda Extra Special Easter Egg
Ah, Asda. Part of the world’s largest public company and purveyor of fine chocolates… perhaps. We’ve never actually reviewed anything from Asda – partly perhaps because they’re not known for their chocolate, but primarily because nobody at Chocablog lives anywhere … -
Gü Deeply Decadent Chocolate Mousse
Now I don’t know about how you feel about chocolate mousse, but I’m a bit of a fan. That’s not to say that every day (or even once a week) is Chocolate Mousse Day, but I have an appreciation for … -
Helsham Selection
Helsham is a small chocolate company who founded by Helen Wood and Shami Doshi who, according to their web site, “share a love and passion for fine food”. Aside from that, I don’t know a lot about them – they’re … -
Berry Scrumptious Chocolate Covered Strawberries
It’s not every day that you get sent fresh, chocolate covered strawberries from Scotland. But so far this week, it’s happened to me twice. When Royal Mail Special Delivery failed to deliver next day, Claire at Berry Scrumptious insisted on sending … -
Annie’s Cocoa & Vanilla Bunnies
My turn to approach the breakfast foods. Annie’s Homegrown has a young target audience with their products, but it is my belief that good foods have no age group. Their Cheddar Bunnies, for instance, are a favorite of mine. Not … -
Maître Truffout Coffee Truffles
Sometimes the nicest chocolate surprises land on your plate completely by accident. I was visiting a friend when she pulled out a box of these to have with our tea. Apaprently they were given to her by her grandmother and … -
Matcha Chocolat Emperor’s Selection
It’s funny how you hear about new chocolatiers sometimes. Matcha were recommended to me twice in the space of the week, and just a few days later they got in touch via Twitter offering to send samples. Matcha is based in … -
Rawr Chocolate Eggs
We’ve reviewed a few raw chocolate products in the past, but this is the first Easter-themed raw chocolate I’ve seen. Raw chocolate, if you don’t know, is chocolate that hasn’t been heat treated, has had minimal processing and is made without … -
Pralus Tanzanie Forastero
75% Tanzanian dark chocolate from Pralus. -
Letterbox Chocolates
Reviewing chocolate all day is of course, a fantastic job. But it does have its down sides. One of the biggest is that I can never leave the house because I’m always expecting a chocolate delivery and someone has to … -
Q.bel Selection
Despite having been around since just last year, Q.bel already has a healthy range of seven products, in the form of wafer bars and wafer rolls. The backstory? After having natural foods at home, their son came home from school … -
Lindt Mini Eggs
Easter is nearly upon us, and the first item to catch my eye on the shelves of my local Tesco was this little packet of mini eggs from Lindt. Once again, I fear I may have been led by pretty … -
Godiva Chocoiste Dark Chocolate Raspberry
Guest Chocablogger Catherine May takes a look at something fruity from Godiva… When I first saw this, I was immediately struck by the fact that there is no percentage of cocoa solids listed on this 45 gram ‘Dark Chocolate’ bar. … -
Porta Waldfrucht
Every so often when chocolate shopping, I go nuts. I just get caught up in the moment and pick up all kinds of bars that I wouldn’t normally try but for some reason I convince myself that it would be … -
Gü Naughties Millionaire’s Flapjacks
I have been fortunate enough to have received this little bag of delights (well, not so little actually – the bag will make an excellent picnic hamper, thank you very much) and over the coming week or two I shall … -
Chocolate Cellar Mothers Day Selection
Mothers Day is one of those holidays that it’s all too easy to forget. And if you have forgotten, then you’d better get your skates on because it’s this Sunday! Luckily, we’re here to remind you with the help of … -
Geminus Chocolate Diamond Bark
Geminus, Inc., to my surprise, is a local company (to me, that is), coming out of Scottsdale, Arizona. The chocolate people usually don’t flock here too much; they must not be keen on their hard work melting away in the … -
The Cake Nest Chocolate Cake
If writing for Chocablog were a proper job, it would probably be the best job in the world. I mean… how many of you have a postman that brings you cake for breakfast with a friendly smile? After seeing our cheap … -
Cadbury Coconut
If you live outside of Canada, you may never have seen one of these, but I’m sure you can tell exactly what it is just by looking at the wrapper. Yes, it’s a Cadbury Bounty! I’ve not been able to find out … -
Swiss Army Energy Bar Chocolate
My latest finding at that lovely store, World Market, is this Swiss Army bar they import from none other than Switzerland. It’s one of the things that when you see it, realize it’s chocolate, you just have to try out …
