Cadbury Boost
Cadbury Boost can best be summed up in two words. “Broken” and “Starbar“. The branding may be completely different, but as you can see when we cut the Boost in half, it looks quite similar to the Starbar: The only difference is … -
Damaged Double Decker
MillyMoo gives her opinion from Down Under of a rather squashed Cadbury Double Decker My gorgeous work mate Jessie recently rather selfishly decided to return back ‘home’ to England with her hubby so that her (so far) un-born baby could be … -
Guinness Dark Chocolate
As anyone who has ever flown out of Ireland will tell you, every Irish airport plays host to the Guinness ministore, home to a plethora of merchandise designed to show your allegiance to the ‘dark stuff’. I have glanced at … -
Magnum Ecuador Dark 62%
When I bought this, it was warm and sunny and I was in the mood for ice cream. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to review it straight away, so it went into the freezer. It’s now pouring with rain outside, … -
Nature’s Harvest Ultimate Chocolate Coated Cherries
Here’s further proof that chocolatey loveliness can be found in all kinds of strange locations. I was in my local Holland & Barrett (a health food store, for those of you outside the UK) buying vitamins and pistachio nuts when … -
NewTree ‘Sexy’ Chocolate
Having made the discovery that NewTree ‘Tranquility‘ is both healthy and child proof, I have been quite keen to sample other bars from their range. NewTree have decided to give their range of bars single word names, and so we … -
Bounty Dark
Here in the UK, one of the weirder side effect of the expansion of the EU and the strong pound is that we get a lot of imported products in the shops – even when there are British-made versions available. Case … -
Nestlé Toffee Crisp

Basini Chocolate Coated Almonds
Here’s another find from LIDL. I came across these around the same time I found the J. D. Gross bars a couple of months ago and have been munching my way through them ever since. There are a variety of flavours … -

The original Cadbury Fruit & Nut. -
Feodora Grand’or Maracuja
You may have read my glowing review of this bar’s sister, Limette. Well it is my sad duty to report that while the chocolate component of this bar is identical to the Limette bar, the chocolate aroma has been all but … -
Lindt Excellence Cuba 55%
Well I’m back in my usual territory here, sampling the more unusual dark chocolate products I love so well. This is my third review of a Lindt product, and once again it’s remarkably different from the previous bars I have tasted … -
Oreo Bañadas
…En chocolate con leche! Translation: Oreos Bathed… in milk chocolate I’m not entirely sure what Spanish Oreos were doing on the shelves on my local Budgens, but as so often happens, they jumped into my basket shouting “Pick me! Pick me!” and … -

Cadbury Picnic
Peanuts, raisins and caramel in milk chocolate. -
De Bondt ‘Aromatico’ Coriander Chocolate

Daim ‘Balls’
When I was younger (and ate a lot more milk chocolate) I remember taking a trip to Scandanavia and seeing Dime (as we were still calling them) Balls on sale. I used to enjoy the occasional Dime Bar (whenever I … -
Choco-Lina Sheep’s Milk Chocolate with Hemp Seed
This is another first for yours truly – a chocolate made with sheep’s milk and containing 10% hemp seed. ChocoLina is an Austrian company offering chocolates made from sheep and goat milk, the goat’s milk products seemingly branded ChocoLisa. The bar contains … -
Daim Bar
Daim is a little bar (28g) with a long history. It was developed in the 1950s by Marabou who were acquired by Kraft in 1993. The bar is now Kraft branded, although it is still made in Sweden. Until a couple … -
Swedish Milk Chocolate Face-Off
Here we go with another choccy challenge. This time the contenders are both Swedish and both milk chocolate. The only difference is their pedigree and price. In the blue corner, the established contender – Marabou Milk Chocolate. Weighing in at 250g and … -
Cadbury Dairy Milk Double Choc
This is the latest offering from the Cadbury Dairy Milk superbrand. We’ve already looked at Dairy Milk, Dairy Milk with Mint / Orange Chips, Dairy Milk with Caramel and Dairy Milk with Creme Egg. Whew. That’s a lot of Dairy … -
Stainer Ginseng E Miele (Ginseng & Honey)
This is my second ever Stainer bar, and I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that Andrea Stainer’s chocolatiers have supernatural powers. This was another purchase from the Etruscan Chocohotel’s Chocostore, and it caught my eye mainly due to the … -
Terry’s 3D
A couple of weeks ago I reviewed Terry’s Caramel Bite and was pleasantly surprised just how tasty it was. Well I was just as surprised to see another offering from Terry’s in my local shop so thought I’d give it … -
Hershey’s Natural Flavanol Antioxidant Milk Chocolate
This is the final product in the new Hershey’s Goodness range, and frankly, it’s a good job the other two had some redeeming features, because this one is pretty much inedible. Just like the others, the packagaing talks about how wonderfully … -
Etruscan Chocohotel Tagliatelle al Cacao
During my recent stay at the Chocohotel in Perugia, I spent quite a while in their fabulously well-stocked Chocostore, picking out numerous items to review for this site. This is the only item I came back with that had the … -
Hershey’s Whole Bean
Hershey’s Whole Bean is part of the Hershey’s Goodness range and positioned to promote the health benefits of chocolate. The packaging claims 7g of fibre per serving and “40% less sugar than the leading milk chocolate”. That’s a fact I find … -
J.D. Gross Extra Bitter 75% Trinidad Sticks
Another offering from the J. D. Gross / LIDL stable of chocolate (which, as we now know thanks to our astute and helpful readers, is made by Rausch). So enthusiastic and knowledgeable are our readers that I received a comment about … -
Hershey’s All Natural Extra Dark
I’m sitting her with half a piece of Hershey’s Extra Dark 60% cacao chocolate melting in my mouth, and I still can’t decide if I like it or not. I’m delighted to report that it tastes like chocolate. With only one … -
Cadbury Curly Wurly
Thin sticks of curly, wurly, chocolate covered caramel. -
Feodora Grand’Or Limette 75%
Continuing the series of ‘chocolate I bought while abroad’, may I present a little something from Germany. Made by Feodora, this bar has 75% cocoa bitter dark chocolate blended with Lime oil. Obviously, we’re all familiar with Orange and chocolate, but … -
Côte D’Or Truffé Face-Off
Having enjoyed pitting two Dark chocolate and ginger bars against each other, I was very pleased to see that these two were on offer at my local supermarket. In the interests of research (and to save Chocablog having to pay … -
Mars Planets
What happens when you take the constituent parts of a Mars Bar and Mars Delight, squish them up into little balls and coat them in chocolate? Well, you get Mars Planets, that’s what. Planets are little balls of soft malt nougat, … -
Nestlé Milo Bar
Milo – the powdery malty-chocolate stuff you mix in with milk – is very popular here in Australia. It’s a different mixture from what I remember getting in the UK – less powdery and a lot more crumbly and … -
Terry’s Caramel Bite
Well this is a pleasant surprise. When I first saw this in the shop, I wasn’t expecting a great deal. Yet another crispy caramel chocolate bar. The Terry’s (aka Kraft) branding didn’t do much to inspire confidence either. But this is … -
Cadbury Starbar
I interrupt our chocablog jet-setting and whisk you all the way to the local newsagents/corner shop. I guide you to the back of the confectionary display; that’s it, all the way to the back, tucked away in the corner… You … -
Stainer Madras Curry White Chocolate
Well dear reader, as you know I was recently sent to the Etruscan Chocohotel for a night as part of a business trip. It will come as no surprise to learn that I spent rather a long time (and a … -
The Etruscan Chocohotel
Simon Michalak reviews something a little out of the ordinary for Chocablog – a hotel! Early in April I found myself starting a two week stint of work in Italy, and purely by chance we were booked into this hotel for … -
Crispy Mint M&Ms
Photo by redphayze It breaks my heart to include a word like ‘mediocre’ when writing about chocolate, but M&Ms deserve a rap on their Australian-subsidiary knuckles. Last year sometime, M&Ms Australia went to considerable trouble and expense to fly over Pamela Anderson … -
Cadbury Bournville
Cadbury's sweet 'dark' chocolate. -
Nestlé Chokito
Nestlé Australia manufactures the Chokito chocolate bar which has been around for as long as I can remember (which at least stretches back to 1975 begging my mum to sew tartan on the bottom of my jeans in homage to …
