Ritter Sport Selection
The wonderful thing about getting sent samples to review is that you end up with things you might not otherwise have tried. Despite positive reviews on Chocablog, I never had much interest in Ritter Sport. The name doesn’t appeal to me. Neither does the packaging. Maybe it has a more European style (does it, European [...]

Moko Chocolate Truffles
I don’t like writing bad things about small businesses, so I’m going to keep this review short.They’re bags of “chocolate” “truffles”, that are made mostly of sugar and vegetable fat. They are basically the same, except one lot is rolled in cocoa powder (preferable), and the other in flaked chocolate. It’s somewhat unfortunate that the [...]

Vivani Organic White Vanilla
Time for another bar from Vivani, and this time it’s a very simple organic white chocolate with flecks of vanilla. This is very different from the last white chocolate I reviewed. The disturbingly sweet Milky Bar Raisin & Biscuit seemed to be made predominantly from sugar, with added sugar, palm oil and a bit of sugar. [...]

Wawel 70% With Orange Peel
Yet another visit to the local Vietnamese butcher, yet more Polish chocolate. The Wawel range carried in that place is just crazy, but I think I must have tried them all by now. Not everything ends up with a review here. But I don?t know what I was thinking ? I read the label ? 70% [...]

Cadbury Dairy Milk Black Forest
The other day I took a trip to Reading in order to do a little shopping, and quite by chance I found myself wandering along Harris Arcade, a rather old fashioned passageway of glass-fronted shops which is home to an eclectic assortment of book, retro clothing, rare record shops, and the rather splendidly named Strange [...]

Valrhona Manjari Orange
I wasn’t going to review this. Partly because Deanna has already briefly mentioned it, but mainly because it’s my comfort food. The kind of chocolate I buy to cheer myself up, rather than to tell other people about. But when I got home, I couldn’t resist taking a photo or two, and by the time I’d [...]

Lindt Carrés
I can’t recall ever having reviewed a box of Lindt chocolates before, which is remarkable considering the amount of their products we’ve collectively muched our way through here at Chocablog. Recently, I was in an airport somewhere in Europe (it may even have been Heathrow, when I think about it) and spotted this box. It wasn’t [...]

Tesco Finest Belgian Chocolate Tiffin Squares
Every once in a while, I like to pick up something random from the shelves of Tesco for lunch review purposes. Today I thought I’d sample some of their Finest range, so picked up these strangely packaged tiffin squares, which are held together in a form of plastic skyscraper for some reason. They’re dense, unbaked squares [...]

Vivani Feine Bitter Cassis
One of the things I like most about this job is when a company whose products you’ve written about sees what you’ve written and decides to send you a big box of chocolate. It’s not just the free chocolate (no, really!), it’s the feeling that somebody somewhere is reading what you write, and that what [...]

Fortnum & Mason Mexican Mole Spice
The other day, I found myself in Fortnum & Mason wondering around the chocolate section (what else), looking for something interesting to buy. Being a poor blogger meant I could only afford a single item from Fortnum’s, so I wanted to make it a little bit different. But the moment I left the shop with this [...]
