Hotel Chocolat – The Purist
Christmas, a time for giving. If you’re reading this, you’d probably agree that it’s a time for giving chocolate, and a great opportunity to splash out a bit. Well, I think it’s pretty safe to say that Santa knew what I … -
Kinder Chocolate
I’ve always loved Kinder chocolate. Possibly my favourite childhood treat of all time is Kinder Surprise. The chocolate was always gone in seconds, but the toy inside always lasted… well, at least an hour (at least 50 minutes of which … -
Green & Black’s Caramel
I seem to be buying a lot of caramel filled bars lately. It’s not deliberate, although I’m starting to think there’s something about seeing the word “caramel” that triggers a subliminal “Buy me now!” response in my messed up mind. Green … -
Cadbury Highlights
What is Cadbury Highlights? “Smooth milk chocolate with no added sugar” Yes, you read that right. This is chocolate with no added sugar… “Excessive consumption may produce laxative effect” Er….Ok. So what does it contain? A quick glance at the ingredients on the wrapper reveals … -
After Eight Grand Marnier Straws
My first thoughts when I spotted these were along the lines of – “Surely some mistake?” and “Are they that desperate to increase their profits?” I was in Edinburgh – in Woolies of all places – when these intriguing little chocolate … -
Cadbury Dairy Milk Mint / Orange Chips
These two bars are the latest additions to the ever expanding Cadbury Dairy Milk range. Both bars consist of standard Dairy Milk chocolate embedded with crunchy flakes of flavoured candy. The first thing you notice about these bars is that the shape … -
Cadbury Time Out (redux)
Chocstress has already given her opinion of Time Out, but as I happen to have one myself, I thought I might as well give my opinion too! Time Out has been around since 1992, but I don’t think I’ve ever been … -
Cadbury Dairy Milk With Caramel
I was slightly at a loss when trying to come up with an angle for this Cadbury Caramel review, so I decided to ask Pewari for her opinion and sent an instant message. A few seconds later, a flurry of … -
Lindt Petits Desserts Crème Brûlée
I came across this little beauty while browsing for Belgian choccy in Sainsbury’s a while back. Intrigued by the concept and in the interests of all Chocablog readers, I took a leap of faith and bagged a bar. The packaging certainly … -
Aero Caramel
Here’s another variation on the chocolate + caramel theme that seems to be popular these days. Aero Caramel consists of layer of ‘bubbly’ Aero chocolate topped with a layer of caramel and all wrapped in smooth milk chocolate. The top of … -
Guylian Dark Orange
This one is a work of art. Underneath this unassuming wrapper lies a masterpiece carved in chocolate. Upon opening it, I wasn’t sure whether to eat it or hang it on my wall. Actually, that’s not entirely true – I’m an … -
Ritter Sport Chocolate Crème
If you’re a regular Chocablog reader, you may know I’m a big fan of Ritter Sport. The Cappuccino, Peppermint and Dark varieties were all delicious. So my reaction on finding this new addition to the range was mixture of excitement and … -
Cadbury Snowflake
Cadbury can’t seem to make up their mind what to call this one. The wrapper calls it ‘Flake Snow’, yet their web site calls it ‘Snowflake’. I’ve gone with Snowflake simply because it sounds better. Whatever you call it, this bar … -
Cadbury Flake Praline
Flake Praline is one of four new(ish) variations on Cadbury Flake – the others being Flake Dark, Flake Dipped and Snowflake. The wrapper describes this as “Crumbly milk chocolate Flake nestled in a rich hazelnut praline”. I beg to differ. I would … -
Cocoa Deli & Lily O’Briens Mixed Berry Crunch White Chocolate Lolly Truffle
Well, it has to be said, Mixed Berry Crunch White Chocolate Lolly Truffle and I got on quite well, although I do wish it had a catchier name. I wasn’t too sure about this one to start with, but that … -
Cadbury Dairy Milk
The original Cadbury milk chocolate. -
Cocoa Deli & Lily O’Briens Cookies & Cream Beligian Milk Chocolate Lolly Truffle
I’d already passed the chocolate aisle in the Co-op when I came across a small display of chocolate, standing pitifully alone. Being a big softie and feeling it’s my duty to care for any stranded chocolate bar I adopted two. Looking … -
Mint Munchies
Following the Chocstress’s (repeatedly) disappointing experience with Munchies, I thought I’d spare her the Mint Munchies review and do it myself. However, being somewhat more restrained, I managed to limit myself to a single packet rather than her… er… 7 packs. Prior … -
Cadbury Double Decker
Crispy, chewy, nougat and milk chocolate. -
Fry’s Chocolate Cream
After discovering Fry’s Turkish Delight‘s fall from grace, I picked up the 4-pack of Chocolate Cream’s with some reservation. Was this to be another nostalgic return only to be dashed by the bitter reality that things always taste better … -
Cadbury Flake
Cadbury's original crumbly, flaky milk chocolate. -
Xocoa Gold
Before I proceed, a little history. When I was 9 my parents bought me a sweet shop (well, they thought they were buying a business opportunity, but I was 9). I lived in the shop for three years and consumed … -
Ritter Sport Dark
50% 'Half Bitter' dark chocolate. -
Nestlé Munchies
Milk chocolate sweets with biscuit and caramel. -
Cadbury Time Out
Cadbury milk chocolate with wafers. -
Lion Bar
Lion Bar is another of those childhood favourites that brings back all sorts of good memories every time I buy it. It was introduced in the 1970s by Rowntree’s (makers of KitKat, Smarties and Aero amongst other things), who were … -
Peanut M&Ms
Chocolate is a complicated and confusing thing. Take these Peanut M&Ms for instance. M&M’s are quintessentially American, of course. In fact, they were only introduced into the UK in the 1990s. Yet they’re a thoroughly British invention. During the Spanish Civil … -
Galaxy Vanilla Heaven
This recent UK heatwave is not only melting my chocolate but it’s forcing me to look at alternative ways to get my chocafix. Don’t get me wrong, even on the hottest days, when my choc du jour has melted beyond … -
KitKat Editions Tiramisu
I was so pleased when Dom drew the short straw and got to review the KitKat Chunky Peanut Butter. Like Dom, I’ve never been a lover of KitKats, despite the fact I am the daughter of the original KitKat Kid. … -
KitKat Chunky Peanut Butter
‘A bit of a mouthful’. That’s the best way to describe this. Both in terms of the name and the contents of the bar. KitKat may be one of the best selling chocolate bars in the world, but I’m quite … -
Ritter Sport Peppermint
Dark chocolate with a peppermint filling. -
Thorntons Continental Cappuccino
What’s the first thing that comes into your head when you hear ‘Thorntons’? For me, it’s “last minute Christmas prezzie for Gran” or “I’ve been having an affair but my wife will never notice if I bring her some nice … -
Toblerone
Mountain-shapded honey & nougat milk chocolate. -
Milky Way
After reviewing Revels the other day, I thought it would be a good idea to review my other childhood favourites. All in the name of science, you understand. But firstly, a quick note to our American readers. What you know as … -
McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes
Here in the UK we take nutrition very seriously. From an early age, we’re taught about the three major food groups: Lager, Marmite & Jaffa Cakes. Jaffa Cakes are of course the most important of the three. Many Brits have been … -
Fry’s Turkish Delight
When I was a wee nipper, Fry’s Turkish Delight was about as exotic and sophisticated as you could get on the confectionary aisle. The television advertisements were full of exotic beauties (probably hailing from Ipswich, but hey, they had … -
Revels
There are certain chocolates I loved when I was a kid that I still love now, but feel slightly awkward buying — simply because I’m not 10 any more. Luckily, now I have an excuse. I’m a chocolate reviewer! I have … -
Green & Black’s Dark 70%
I’ve always loved dark chocolate, and this is Green & Black’s 70% exception. I can’t understand how some people claim not to like it. I can only think they’re eating it wrong. Good quality dark chocolate should be eaten slowly and … -
Cadbury Twirl
Twirled milk chocolate from Cadbury -
Divine Fair Trade
Divine Fair Trade Chocolate is made with Ghanaian cocoa beans and bills itself as “Heavenly chocolate with a heart”. According to their web site, “Fairtrade aims to build dignified trading relationships between consumers in the North and producers in developing countries. …
