Whittaker?s Dark Caramel
Not to be outdone by the surprising taste of Whittaker?s Favourite Kiwi Fruit milk chocolate block, we returned from a day sightseeing the joys of Auckland and stumbled upon a long-held dream choco-combination of mine ? top notch dark chocolate and caramel, humbly lurking in a mini-market next to the hotel.
Whittaker?s have used their bittersweet [...]

World Market Crunchy Hazelnut Chocolate Spread
I love World Market. Lately, they've been adding their own products to those that they sell. I've yet to try their chocolate bars, but their Hazelnut Cocoa Spread has been a friend of mine for a while now. But when I went to buy a new jar, I found this one in its place. (At [...]

Galaxy Smooth Dark
It's been a while since I wrote a review for Chocablog. However, when Sainsburys gave me a free 125g bar of the new Galaxy Smooth Dark chocolate (and I'd already eaten through about half of it), I thought it would be a good idea to come on and inflict my opinion of it on you.
The [...]

Cuorenero Kiwi a Pezzi
This particular bar is made in Italy and is a brand owned by the Sugar Company. As you can se, the metallic box with it's somewhat abstract artwork and textured finish puts it firmly into the 'Posh chocs' department.
According to the (thankfully available in English) website Cuorenero is produced only with finos, the finest cocoa [...]

Whittaker?s Kiwi Fruit
Whittaker?s chocolate has been proudly New Zealand-owned and made since 1896 and has just started to make an impact in Australia in the last couple of years.
However even keen Chocabloggers such as myself need a holiday occasionally and this year I decided to eschew the usual sun, sand and sea of tropical north Queensland [...]

Chocolate Truffle Co. Noir Collection Costa Rica 64
Such a long name for such a simple and diminutive (48g) bar of chocolate!
But the really interesting thing about this particular bar of chocolate is that "Rainforest Alliance Certified" logo. According to Christine Moss of the Chocolate Truffle Company, it's the UK's first Rainforest Alliance Certified chocolate.
The Rainforest Alliance works with local producers to conserve [...]

Thorntons Turkish Delight Bar
As you've probably noticed, this is another of the same range of Thorntons bars as the Lemon Mousse bar I reviewed a while ago. I've not checked, but I would guess there is also a Marks & Spencer equivalent of this one too.
This time round, we have a milk chocolate bar. Not as pretty as [...]

Lindt Creation Fig & Caramel
Another (continental) member from the same stable as the Cherry & Chilli bar, and the selection that Kath reviewed a while back, this particular bar is made from the same 70% dark chocolate and contains the same percentage (28%) of dark chocolate mousse. The twist this time is that the filling that constitutes 18% of [...]

Starbucks Chai Truffles
Being curious to sample more from Starbucks, I fed a recent obsession with Chai tea by picking these out. There were ten total truffles. The box-container they're in is unique, and while it wouldn't be great for a present, it suits for everyday. Like the bars.
Each truffle is wrapped in a copper-orange with a [...]

Dick Smith Temptin?
The rather unfortunately named Dick Smith is a living Aussie icon (which is rare, because we tend to celebrate hanged bushrangers, dead horses and failed explorers), well known for making his millions from cheap electronics before selling off his business and venturing into launching the Australian Geographic magazine and store franchise and doing his best [...]
