Chocolate Reviews
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!
If you take an interest in where your chocolate comes from, our Cocoa Origins Map shows where the beans in the chocolate we review actually comes from.

Lindt Petit Desserts Tarte Citron Meringue
At last I have managed to track another of the elusive bars in Lindt’s Petits Desserts series. These bars seem to be like rare jewels – I have located one in Holland, one in Belgium, and now this one in … -
Hotel Chocolat Liquid Chocolat
Despite the recent truffle kerfuffle, we like Hotel Chocolat. Not only do they make some of the finest cocoa products known to mankind, but they like to send them to us here at Chocablog so we can tell you just … -
Côte d’Or ‘Experiences’ Milk & Caramelised Almond
This is the second ‘nutty’ Côte d’Or bar I have tasted (the Pecan bar being my first) and I have to say I was a little disappointed. The chocolate is okay I suppose. Milk chocolate, creamy, a little on the sweet … -
Sainsbury’s ‘Basics’ Milk Chocolate Truffle Balls
Some time ago now I compared two brands of milk chocolate – one cheap, the other not so cheap – to see if it were possible to buy a good quality chocolate at bargain basement prices. My tasters unanimously rejected … -
Thorntons Milk Chocolate Coffee Creams
I think I need to stop thinking of Thorntons as a speciality chocolate maker. Or even as a “chocolatier” at all. They’re just another large sweet manufacturer. They’re a public company and their products are mass produced. Their products aren’t … -
Terry’s Chocolate Orange Golden Nugget Crunch
Picture the scene… It’s a dark and rainy January night and somewhere in a dingy lay-by on the outskirts of Bournville village, a Chocolate Orange and a Crunchie are going at it like rabbits in the back of a … -
Thorntons Fruit Cremes
The recent truffle kerfuffle reminded me that we’ve not looked at any Thorntons choccies in a while, and as I happened to pass one of their shops today, I picked up a couple of bags. This is the first. The first … -
Green & Black’s Maya Gold
This was an impulse buy. Something random picked up from the shelf of my local sweet shop. Aside from being Green & Black’s, I didn’t even know what it was until I got home. So this “Dark chocolate with orange and … -
Conscious Chocolate – The Citrus Pair
Time to review another brace of wholesome raw chocolate bars, courtesy of Emma at Conscious Chocolate. This time I chose a couple of fruity little numbers, namely the Best Ever Citrus Zest bar and the Best Ever Essential Orange bar. The … -
Galaxy
Somehow, we haven’t managed to review Galaxy here on Chocablog yet. We’ve done several of its variations (Galaxy Ripple, Galaxy Caramel, Galaxy Vanilla Heaven, Galaxy Minstrels), but not plain old Galaxy. Well, Mars have recently changed the recipe and design for … -
Jameson’s Ruffle Raspberry
I found this little oddity while buying the Wispa bar I reviewed earlier this week. I call it an ‘oddity’, partly because the bright packaging caught my eye above anything else in the shop, and partly because I’d never head … -
Cadbury Wispa
Having apparently been partly responsible for helping to bring Wispa back, it’s only fitting we should be… er… pretty much the last people to review it now it’s actually available again. Wispa is very, very simple: Cadbury milk chocolate tiny bubbles … -
Conscious Chocolate – The Hot Stuff
As I have ten Conscious Chocolate bars to get through (I know, poor old me) I thought it might be fair to group them for ease of reviewing and to save space on the site. This first pair are the … -
Conscious Chocolate ‘Love Your Heart Superfood’ Bar
Conscious Chocolate is a young company producing a raw, healthy chocolate bars that can be eaten by anyone, regardless of dietary requirements. They produce handmade bars using organically certified Fairtrade ingredients, and the handmade touch extends to the packaging – … -
Cadbury Bournville Deeply Dark With Coffee
The first thing that hits you when you see the Bournville Deeply Dark range on the supermarket shelf is the influence of Green & Black’s. The thick paper wrapper and clean design look so much more appealing than the standard … -
Australian Homemade Dark Chocolate Macadamias
The second Australian Homemade item I bought when I was in Holland (they’re made in Amsterdam, not Australia) and one I was very much looking forward to, as I happen to adore macadamias. Having sampled (and thoroughly enjoyed) their Honey Snapper … -
Sweet Sweet Confections Smores Bars
A couple of weeks ago we made fun of Sweet Sweet Confections for their “asking for trouble” eat-as-many-as-you-can competition. Luckily, they didn’t go off in a huff and ignore us, but sent us some of their Smores Bars instead. Smores Bars … -
Dark Sugars Truffles
Just South of the City of London lies Borough Market, home to a bewildering (and sometimes frighteningly expensive) range of gastronomic delights, from organically farmed meat to imported wines, ostrich, cheeses, and of course chocolate. Nestling among the plethora of … -
Sainsbury’s ‘Taste The Difference’ Creamy Filled Coconut Bar
I had spied this on the shelf a couple of times, and was considering a purchase, but the addition of a 25% reduction finally tipped the scales, and I brought one home this very afternoon. A limited edition bar is a … -
Klik Cookie
This is the last of the ‘Klik’ range of Israeli chocs sent to us by OhNuts.com, they others being Gourmet Truffles, Malt Balls and Kariot-Pillows. These ‘Cookies’ are pretty much what you’d expect looking at the bag. Random chunks of cookie, … -
Côte d’Or Milk & Nuts
We’ve reviewed a few Côte d’Or chocolates in the past and we’ve liked them all, but this is a bit different. This small, 45g bar has the same format as many cheaper brands, and has the packaging to match – … -
Conscious Chocolate – Best Ever Plain
I seem to have reached the point where friends and colleagues have started to recommend chocolate to me. Take this bar, for example. I have a friend who has been trying to follow a healthier diet, and so he’s been a … -
Lindt Petits Desserts Truffe Cake
The third in our collective attempt to snarf up all of Mr. Lindt’s finest creations, the Dark Truffe cake follows on from Crème Brûlée and Tiramisu – but is it worthy of membership of the Petits Desserts family? There can be … -
Lindt Petit Desserts Tiramisu
It’s nearly a year since Simon reviewed Lindt Petits Desserts Crème Brûlée and I still haven’t seen it in any of my local shops. But much to my surprise and delight, this Tiramisu bar turned up in my local corner … -
Toblerone Fruit & Nut
So the good folks at Kraft have decided to update the Toblerone range again. We all know about the white and dark Toblerones, but now we have a Fruit and Nut version to add to the lineup. Curiosity led me … -
Lindt Lindor
If you’ve read more than four of my reviews, you probably know that I have a lot of time for the chocolatiers at Lindt. To date I have yet to come across a bar of Lindt chocolate that was anything … -
Klik Malt Balls
Here’s another of the Klik range of Israeli chocolates sent to us by OhNuts.com Malt Balls are pretty much the same as Maltesers, except they’re smaller (about a quarter the size of a Malteser) and not quite as ‘malty’. Personally I like … -
Caldey Island Chocolate
As any regular reader will no doubt be aware, I always try and keep an eye out for unusual or different types of chocolate when I’m on my travels. I’m proud to continue this tradition by reviewing this bar of … -
Jameson Whiskey Truffle Face-Off
My recent visit to Ireland yielded a few items- some of which were, of course, made by Butlers Irish. Whilst enjoying a drink in one of their shops, I bought myself a Jameson’s Truffle bar, and then when I visited the … -
Klik Half Gourmet Truffles
This is another of the Klik samples sent to us by OhNuts.com. The ‘Half’ in the name doesn’t seem to mean half-fat or half-sugar or even half-chocolate. Instead it seems to just refer to the half-speherical shape of these cute little … -
Tesco Finest Triple Choc Shortbread
We don’t often review supermarket bakery stuff, but as I’m currently sitting here with a mouthful of shortbread and a nice cup of tea, I thought I may as well write about it. These four large chocolate chip shortbread cookies set … -
Côte d’Or Milk Chocolate Pecan
I seem to find myself returning to the world of Côte d’Or with frightening regularity. They make some damned fine products, and I think I’ve developed a sixth sense for their packaging. Anyway, a few months back when I was in … -
Klik Kariot-Pillows
Ok, well this is a little unusual. These Israeli chocolates were sent to us by our newest Sponsor, OhNuts.com. OhNuts are US based, so these choccies have pretty much traveled around the world to end up in my stomach. Sometimes I’m … -
Nestlé Aero
We might be anticipating the return of Cadbury Wispa at the moment, but it’s only fair we take a look at it’s older, slightly less fashionable cousin, Aero. Like Wispa, Aero is simply chocolate with bubbles in it. But the bubbles … -
Reese’s Cups
Finding Hershey’s stuff in the UK is still quite rare, but last time I reviewed a Reese’s branded chocolate, I was pleasantly surprised. So my expectations were a little higher with this than when I bought the Nutrageous bar. Now I … -
Galaxy Ripple
Recently, LindtLover asked us to review Galaxy Ripple, so we decided to scour the shops looking for one. Actually, it wasn’t that difficult – my local newsagent had them, but I’d somehow managed to overlook them until now. Galaxy Ripple is … -
Australian Homemade Snapper Honey
I’m fortunate enough to have a job that involves a fair amount of travel, and this allows me to spend time browsing shops for new and unusual chocolate to tell the world (or at least that part of the world … -
Tchibo Chocolate Range
Chocablog readers may not be too familiar with the Tchibo brand, and a glance at their UK website is unlikely to make one think of them as a purveyor of fine chocolate, offering as it does a bizarre assortment of … -
Hotel Chocolat Goody Bag for every Season
This is another of Hotel Chocolat’s new range that they were kind enough to send us samples of. They also do a Summer Goody Bag which looks very similar. These bags are quite obviously aimed at women. The bags themselves are … -
Nestlé Heaven
Regular chocoholics will all have experienced that painful surge of disappointment when you finally find a high-end chocolate bar or block that’s been marked down to a more affordable level, rush home and excitedly tear open the wrapping only to …
