What a week! I’ve had to spend almost all my time editing video for upcoming top ten lists on The Ramen Rater – I haven’t done a review since last Wednesday! I forgot today was Thursday! I edited this one in about 30 minutes! Bang energy drinks are great!
When fierce beauty and attention to detail collide, worlds crumble in this stunning new offering from The Chocolate Break – a new era in the way you think and feel about everything relating to anything you don’t regard as important or the concept of importance, itself.
We’ve found that unless you use the chocolate, it goes bad. Doing episodes once in a while just won’t cut it – nor will not looking at expiration dates on bars when we purchase them. These next two episodes are devoted to the chocolate that must be tried before it dies.
Oh stop it. We all get zits from time to time and yeah they range from tiny and no big deal to holy cow is that thing breathing/has it a control drone hovering above that has some kind of invisible control mechanism giving it intelligence. One of the items today seemed like a big zit – although very tasty. So yeah.
Episode 46: Toblerone, Skor, Ripple & Tiny Zits
Toblerone White Chocolate With Honey & Almond Nougat – Switzerland
Triangular prisms and white chocolate with funny stuff going on.
Skor is a candy bar produced by The Hershey Company. It was first marketed in the United States in 1981 and later launched in Canada in 1983. “Skör” (with umlaut dots over the “o”) is Swedish for “brittle”, and the crown that appears in the product’s logo is identical to that found in the Swedish national emblem of Tre Kronor (“Three Crowns“). However, most read the name as “Skor” since you do not see the umlaut dots. Skor is the Swedish name for shoes. It was originally intended as the competition for the Heath bar produced by the Heath Company and, later, the Leaf Candy Company. Despite Hershey’s acquisition of Leaf, Inc., in 1996 and subsequent production of the Heath bar under the Hershey name, the company continues to market the Skor bar.
Hey how are you today? No? Oh, that’s too bad. Well, here’s some special neato things from the 2018 Northwest Chocolate Festival that should make you die a little more.
Ecuador, Fresno, & Dubai
Villakuyaya Organic Dark Chocolate Masala Chai – Ecuador
Just an amazing amount of chai masala in this and it really fascinateds us.
Thirty-four episodes is a lot of episodes. I mean, it isn’t a psychologically amazing number like say a 100 or anything with a zero after it, but it’s impressive. I know you agree because I mean hey – it’s the right thing to do.
Seattle Chocolate We Work Together Like Nuts & Bolt – United States
For the second time in the history of this glorious program, one of us has spat out a piece. Kit found this to be horrible while Hans found it pretty good.
Kit – 0 out of 5 stars
Hans – 3 1/2 out of 5
Seattle Chocolate Here’s Looking At You Sparkling Mimosa – United States
Pop Rocks is NOT champagne! (pronounced sham-pan-ya). Chocolate and orange pop rocks.
Kit – 1 1/2 out of 5
Hans – 0 out of 5
Seattle Chocolate Baby Cakes – United States
Red confetti in there. Kind of wow. Like birthday cake funfeii and chocolate.
My wife has rabies I think because she’s been apt to bite lately. I have known for years that she might have feral tendencies, but in this episode, you will see how she does indeed bite if provoked. She is a wild animal – and I would not want her any other way.
Cadbury Chomp – United Kingdom
A flat, wide bowel movement – visually. Thin chocolate and a lot of caramel.
Another round from the Northwest Chocolate Festival! Sooner or later I think you’ll be seeing a whole slew of varieties from this event – the companies were very kind and gave us so many samples. Not only that, they’re really good! Let’s check out two more!
Bakery Nouveau -United States
We want to be best friends with the guy who gave us these. Seriously. Both varieties we sampled were top notch and just extraodinary!
References throughout about our love for the meat of the dolphin and our enjoyment of the concept of broken glass. Enjoy this episode with a loved one in between your harpooning sessions!
Theo Root Beer Barrel 55% Dark Chocolate – United States
An interesting mashup of broken up candy root beer barrels and slightly dark chocolate.
Dolfin Dark Chocolate With Shortbread & Guerande – Belgium
I guess we got the idea that it contained sea salt from somewhere in the aether, but who knows. Either way, it gave us both poo-poo faces which we really don’t care for.
Here’s a couple more we found at Cost Plus World Market nearby Jinya Ramen in Bellevue, Washington. I still have the receipt in our chocolate storage vessel – $70 on chocolate. Debauchery!
Tony’s Choco Lonely Milk Chocolate – Belgium
If you like milk chocolate, this is where it’s at. We agree that this doesn’t have the fun of crisps or anything else but for a straight milk chocolate, it’s the bomb.
