Cadbury Flake Celebration Cake
For Chocablog’s 4th birthday, I decided to buy an off-the-shelf chocolate cake, simply because it’s not the kind of thing we normally look at. Us Chocabloggers tend to work alone most of the time, so it’s difficult to justify shelling … -
Hachez Cocoa D’Arriba Raspberry-Balsamico
Apparently German company Hachez are making a bid for world domination. That can be the only explanation for their rather imaginative bars showing up all over the place because even my little corner of Canada has an impressive range of … -
Cadbury Mighty Perky Nana
A bizarrely named banana flavoured milk chocolate confection. -
Sweet Signatures Toffee Pecan Clusters
I may be getting spoiled by all the toffee I’ve been trying lately — I don’t consider getting spoiled by the chocolate because, after all, a necessity can’t spoil you. This box of Toffee Pecan Clusters came to me from … -
Nestlé KitKat Sparkling Strawberry
It’s time for the final review of our week of Japanese chocolates (‘Thank God!’, I hear you cry), and it’s only fair we end with one more KitKat. This time, a pretty little pink number. Once again, we have a heavily … -
Awaji Orange Sticks
After a week of strange and wonderful flavours (and a huge amount of sugar) it seems fitting to close my Japan Week with something a little more sophisticated, and I am very lucky to have been given this rather lovely … -
Nestlé KitKat Cookies + Chocolate Biscuit
The main reason I picked this particular variety of KitKat up from CyberCandy while ignoring such varieties as “Sweet Potato Flavor” was that it had a picture of the bar on the box, and it was quite definitely milk chocolate … -
Nestlé KitKat Ohagi
It had to happen (mainly because I’ve been sitting on my own stash of KitKats for over a week). This is my first proper Japanese Kit Kat review (having shared duties with Dom on the Ito En Vegatable KitKat) and … -
Nestlé KitKat Milk Coffee
It’s time for another KitKat form Japan, and once again, this takes the form of two pairs of individually wrapped white chocolate KitKat fingers. Part of me had been hoping for milk chocolate for a coffee flavoured KitKat, so I … -
Meiji Fran Whipps ‘Deep Bitter Chocolate’
Another Meiji product and this time it has a distinctly more sophisticated feel to it than Kinoko No Yama ot Takenoko No Sato. The packaging is beautifully explanatory, and the contents didn’t disappoint – they were exactly like the picture. What … -
Nestlé KitKat Raspberry & Passion Fruit
How KitKat’s became so popular in Japan is a mystery to me. This simple little snack was originally created in Yorkshire by Rowntree’s in the 1930s, and for a long time didn’t do anything particularly interesting. For as long as I … -
Glico Pakitz
As Dom bravely makes his way through a seemingly endless parade of KitKats, I find myself faced with something which might actually stretch the remit of Chocablog a little. Pakitz is a double pack of a strange hybrid of ice cream … -
Nestlé KitKat with Ito En Vegetable Juice
Simon and I both had one of these ‘Vegetable’ flavour Japanese KitKats, so we thought we’d both give our opinion on it… Simon’s Take The first surprise comes when you split open the wrapper and discover that the contents are a remarkably … -
Pocky Men’s Bitter Chocolate
After karaoke and weird KitKats, Pocky is the third most popular thing in Japan. Probably. Like KitKat, it’s a crunchy, often chocolatey snack that comes in a mind-boggling array of flavours. I wanted to start myself off with something simple – … -
Nestlé KitKat Ginger Ale
I picked up this particular KitKat in CyberCandy’s London store. I didn’t let the staff know who I was, so I actually had to pay for it (shocking!). I will say that it’s a nice little shop, clean and well … -
Morinaga Koeda
Koeda is Japanese for twigs, and as you can see from the box, these are little knobbly twigs of milk chocolate. Inside each box are twelve individual packets, each containing four ‘twigs’ in a variety of flavours. In typical Japanese style, … -
Nestlé KitKat Mini Maple
KitKat time again! This time we have a bag of 13 mini KitKats from Japan supplied by J-List. I’m told this particular flavour is in honour of the Winter Olympics in Canada and is made with real maple syrup, but … -
Meiji Takenoko No Sato
A companion product to ‘Kinoko No Yama‘ (Mountain of mushrooms) (can there be more?) here we have a Village of Bamboo Shoots, which in itself is enough for it to win my affections. Can you imagine a British or American … -
Nestlé KitKat Little With Chilli
It’s Japan week on Chocablog! Why? Because we said so! Also, because the lovely people at J-List sent us a big box of chocolatey fun from Japan.. and because Simon has been acquiring more goodies from his growing circle of Japanese … -
Dorset Cereals Chocolate Granola
Chocolate for breakfast may not be a new thing, but it’s something I’ve been experiencing much more of recently. Usually it just takes the form of a cereal bar, but I was pleasantly surprised when these two decent sized boxes … -
Strauss Krembo
While Israel is enjoying its two annual weeks of winter, I decided it was time to return to yet another classic. Behold the Krembo, a somewhat controversial chocolate-covered sweet that originated in Denmark and somehow found its way to Israel, … -
Villars Dark Chocolate With Coffee
I’ve had this bar in my stash box for some time now, but I think I originally liberated it from my local Waitrose. It’s a thin, flat, 100g bar from Swiss chocolate maker Villlars. It comes in a rather nice thin … -
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory After Dark Collection
Until a branch opened up in a local mall, my previous experience with the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory was looking at their display of ridiculous chocolate dipped candy apples as I ran from one end of an airport to another, … -
Hachez Cocoa D’Arriba 77% Mango & Chilli
I think it’s fair to say that over the past few years the Chocablog team have discovered just how varied chocolate makers’ products are, and between us we’ve sampled some quite unusual tasting chocolate. Of course, chilli and chocolate is … -
Nuts Over Toffee Milk Chocolate
My, my, does my chocolate cup overflow. Chocolate is one thing I must find time for, so let me dig into the pile — other tasks can wait. From Nuts Over Toffee, based out of Florida I believe, comes this … -
Kellogg’s Fibre Plus
The other day, this pretty little gold box arrived in the mail. No explanation, no branding, no covering letter. Just a gold box with a label saying “Try Me”. Now, being the kind of person that will always eat unidentified … -
Vivani Praliné
I’m having one of those days. Trying to write software that runs on different versions of Windows – and I’ve hit a stumbling block in Vista. As it seems, one does. The Chinese curse applies doubly so to Windows Vista: … -
Galler La Boite Ronde
This box, perhaps a more traditional offering for Valentines Day than a giant heart, comes from Galler. La Boite Ronde (The Round Box) is home to a wide variety of shapes and flavours, with a menu covering over forty items, … -
Ferrara Milk Chocolate Strawberry Ball
I must not be a Valentine’s Day person; I very nearly didn’t get to any chocolates for the holiday this year. Then when I finally pick something up, it is nothing comparable to the all-out Hotel Chocolat offerings that have … -
Butlers Mixed Berry White Chocolate
White chocolate with freeze dried fruit pieces. -
Hotel Chocolat Magnificent Heart
Another heart-shaped Hotel Chocolat product for Valentines, and this time it’s a 70% cocoa dark chocolate creation studded with fruit and nuts. Before we continue with this, I feel I ought to pout this particular item into perspective. Yes, it’s THAT big. … -
Chococo Milk Chocolate Honeycombe Heart
Our second Valentines offering from Chococo this year falls squarely into the “almost too pretty to eat” category. With the emphasis on “almost”, of course. A 225g solid milk chocolate heart, studded with chunks of honeycombe and dusted with edible … -
Hotel Chocolat Chilli & Nibs Sweethearts
This deep red box contains four rows of seven chocolate hearts, each engraved with what would appear to be the, or possibly one of, Hotel Chocolat’s Valentines motif (of which more later, but on a much grander scale). This is the … -
Ricci Dark Chocolate Coated Licorice
OK, I have to come clean. I’m a sucker for licorice. Strange thing is, the rest of the family hate it with a vengeance, which of course means more for me. Boo hoo. When I was a kid, licorice came in … -
Mars Hot Chocolates
It’s not every day that you get a delivery from Mars, so I was quite looking forward to seeing what was inside the Martian jiffy bag that arrived on my doorstep. What we have is four varieties of hot chocolate … -
Laura Secord Sex And The City Collection
I thought I should get into Valentine’s Day mode to see what the local stores had to offer for amorous Canadians. The majority of it was the usual stuff, just repackaged into heart-shaped boxes, but something did catch my eye … -
Chococo Love Box
I love Chococo. They manage to strike the perfect balance between ‘hand made’ and ‘luxury gift’, and this attractive little box is the perfect illustration of that. This is their medium sized ‘Love Box’ (stop giggling at the back!) which … -
Gü Mini Puds
Another offering from those people whü like to mis-spell words in order to get more umlauts on their packaging – yes, it’s Gü time again. This time I bought a box of three versatile little chocolate tortes. ‘Eat hot or cold’ … -
Butlers Butterscotch Milk Chocolate
32% milk chocolate with butterscotch pieces. -
Boulevard’s Dairy Free & Sugar Free Hot Chocolate
Would someone tell me why there is so much rainy weather in Arizona in January? I just don’t understand it. The only advantage it has for me is an increased enjoyment of such life’s comforts as warm hats and hot …
