Srebrna is right…altough, I remember Chocolate Block (Blok Czekoladowy) as a home-made product that indeed had no real chocolate but did have cocoa (whatever quality was at the time avail in Poland), sugar, margarine/butter, dry milk, nuts, cookie crumbs, etc. I personally love it! :) It has nothing to do with chocolate but the taste and texture is unforgettable! :) I have never seen Wawel’s product in Michigan, where I now live and suspect that it is not even close to the home made product. In any case, I would also recommend you checking out Wedel’s dark chocolate, I like it better than Wawel’s.

“Blok czekoladowy” probably refers to the old, dark times when you could only (or mostly) but a pseudo-chocolate product which was sold by weight, cut from a large block (like cheese). Had VERY low cocoa content and LOTS of other things (ie. margarine as the main fat source) which would not allow it to qualify as “chocolate” nowadays.
Some people still crave it, as the “taste of childhood” kind of thing. Still, it’s better to try other Wawel products, if you can come by them.

I’m afraid I put too many links into the previous comment :)

Here’s Wawel’s English site: http://wawel.com.pl/en/produkty – list of all products, with small descriptions. Check “Kasztanki”, plums in chocolate, bars and wafers section.

I remember my Polish friend from college Jacek (Pronounced Ya-Sek) bringing in one of these and yeah, its really really gritty with all the sugar, kind of the same texture as Kendal Mint Cakes Minty interior…
Nice reveiw!

I’ve tried a Wawel filled chocolate bar about two weeks ago. It caught my eye because it looked nice and tempting on the outside.

But it didn’t pass the most important test. The filling (which they don’t even say what it is) was dry and the chocolate unimpressive.
