Reviews of chocolate from around the world
So it really is a mysterious saga – at least for this episode. Well, I dunno I figured mysterious and saga are good words to lure you into hearing a rather interesting story that will drag out over the next four episodes. So you can have anticipation and will come back. Will you come back? You know, if you don’t you will have a sense of incompleteness in your life. You really should come back next week. Come back next week.
After repeated emails politely asking to stop sending us these, We’re pissed off. I mean, you send us these damn boxes and we feel obligated to review them. But we don’t want to. They make us unhappy. It is a box of not fun for us. They take a long time to do and makes us fart. Just stop it.
We didn’t think part deux would be longer than part one, but it is and so you can thoroughly enjoy it much longer and with even more affection. The Chocolate Break is here for you. See disclaimers at end of episode.
It’s fun – we go to Canada and find all sorts of interesting things and this time was no different. Walmart Supercentre in Richmond, BC never fails to amuse, and they always go all out insofar as snacks and chocolate. Here’s the first half and even though we say the second half will be tomorrow, we lied. It’ll be next week.
This is a message from us, to you. A message about where you are and what we are about. A message of hope for the children, a message of dreams for the brighter future. A simply weird message, and one you might be terrified by and also enamored with at the same time.
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.

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.

While we haven’t enjoyed every single thing out of these boxes (and they’re definitely not all chocolate items), we really enjoy trying new and exotic things we normally wouldn’t and that is why we both give these 5 out of 5 stars.
During Christmas, candy and chocolate and treats and such fly this way and that. We got one of these and decided it was time to give one of these boxes a try – giving it The Chocolate Break treatment. Join us as we open the box and taste it’s sweet insides.
In so many ways, this is our downfall. We migh have enjoyed this at the beginning of our journey of sampling and reviewing, but at this point, we don’t. We found almost every single offering here to be foul and far, far below par. It’s really sad. By looking for excellence, we get to enjoy less. But this we do for you.

After watching an episode of The Hot Ones with Weird Al Yankovic, we decided we needed to do this. Watch the video – and thank us – because now you don’t have to do it. Although you should because we did.
