40. Cadbury English Toffee 5 months ago

Manufactured by Hershey’s in the US which makes it highly suspect and begs the question, would it just be plain toffee in England?

Not bad for a small bite, but when they say soft, they mean liquid, like a caramel. Only this bar tastes much more sickeningly sweet than buttery caramel. And I have a sweet tooth…



39. Crév Truffle Bar Chocolate Fix 5 months ago

Ok, I could not find much about this bar online. It pretty much just tastes like a very good (not so processed) 3 Musketeer Bar.

No complaints here.



38. Milka Chocolate Creme 6 months ago

Milk Chocolate Confection with Chocolate Creme Filling

Treat your sense to a smooth, rich flavor. Delight in Milka – the tender, chocolaty pleasure of Alpine Milk.

I’m wondering if this is new to the US market – I haven’t seen it before. It is really pretty good. The chocolate creme filling makes it taste light and very sweet. I would definitely buy again. Yum.



37. Hershey's Cacao Reserve Dark Chocolate Truffle Crunch 6 months ago

I can’t find a pic or a description, and they were on clearance.

We’re not off to a very good start, are we?

And it’s not a great finish either. Once you get through the excessive packaging, these truffles tasted like they had baking chocolate inside. Yes, it was powdery. I didn’t get it.

I really need to branch out into some different chocolate brands, because now it is just annoying. Looking down the page, I wasn’t that crazy about #s 27-36, and I could use some awesome right about now. Only 6 more opportunities…because you know I’ll never eat chocolate again unless I have the goal, “try 43 more types of chocolate.”



36. Dove Promises Silky Smooth Dark Chocolate - Tiramisu 6 months ago

New DOVE® PROMISES® Desserts Silky Smooth Dark Chocolate – Tiramisu are a delicious blend of buttery smooth caramel, infused with the luscious taste of Tiramisu, and surrounded by DOVE® Silky Smooth Dark Chocolate. Each individually wrapped with a special PROMISES® Message inside.

I like Tiramisu, so I decided to try a tiramisu chocolate again. Now I realize that Tiramisu is often made with liquor, but it’s strange how the chocolate has a liquor taste to it. The flavor is too strong for me. I just don’t really like it.

And I like booze. Go figure.



35. Green and Black's Organic Toffee 6 months ago

Our delectable, organic toffee is made by heating sugar along with butter and molasses to create the perfect flavorful blend. This full, concentrated flavor allows the crunchy toffee pieces to punch their way through our intense 34% cocoa-rich milk chocolate.

This tasted a lot like #34-you know, the one that advertised, “like no other.” Oh wait, that’s right, it had nuts. And probably pesticide.

Good, but VERY sweet. Because the toffee is mixed in the chocolate, it isn’t as crunchy or buttery tasting, which is what I love about toffee. I think I will stick to a Heath bar when it comes to toffee!



34. Dove Peanut Toffee Crunch 7 months ago

New DOVE® Silky Smooth Milk Chocolate – Peanut Toffee Crunch Large Bar pairs perfectly roasted peanuts and buttery-sweet toffee with DOVE® Silky Smooth Milk Chocolate. Thoughtfully placed in 3 individual foil-wrapped bars. An experience like no other.

Like no other? I don’t know.

The toffee adds a nice flavor, but if that’s what you’re in for, you might want a Heath. Still good, but actually quite sweet I thought. I do like the 3 separate bars – makes it a bit more difficult to over-indulge without thinking.



33. Ghirardelli Luxe Milk Chocolate with Hazelnuts 7 months ago

This rich and creamy milk chocolate made from the finest cocoa beans is perfectly complemented with all-natural, deep roasted hazelnuts.

Take in the heavenly aroma and let the pleasure of the smooth-melting, velvety chocolate linger.

See 32. Plus hazelnuts, yum.

BTW…am I supposed to be noting the “aroma” of all my chocolate bars? Sorry, I’ve got a cold.



32. Ghirardelli LUXE MILK Chocolate 7 months ago

This divine duet of creamy milk chocolate and rich dark chocolate is made from the finest cocoa beans and purest all natural ingredients.

Take in the heavenly aroma and let the pleasure of the smooth-melting, velvety chocolate linger.

It’s good, but nothing extraordinary. Just a tasty smooth milk chocolate bar.



31. Ritter Sport Marzipan 7 months ago

RITTER SPORT Marzipan has been a part of our assortment since 1935. It’s probably the most delicious thing that can happen to an almond. 36% of the best sweet Californian almonds proudly reside in its 44% fine marzipan filling. A hint of bitter Mediterranean almonds rounds off the marzipan taste with a subtle, tangy flavour. To ensure that such a fine marzipan as this receives only the best coating, we make it a crunchy dark chocolate shell perfected with fine, fruity, aromatic cocoas. The fine marzipan is then placed into this chocolate covering and the base of the bar is sealed with dark chocolate. For over 70 years now, this effort has been rewarded with a very special and incomparable taste experience.

YIKES! I was a little scared to try this, because I’ve never had Marzipan, but I decided the point was to branch out. So here is what I’ve found:

Marzipan is definitely not my thing. Yuck. My husband, on the other hand, thinks this is the best dark chocolate bar I’ve tried.

Go figure.
