Reviews of chocolate from around the world
Well, here we are again, doing our thing for this little captive audience of you and only you. We sincerely hope you enjoyed yesterday. Christmas is a day of gorging on deliciousness and indulging in treats and gifts. But now it’s time to pay the piper you son of a bitch. You have a hangover. You have a bit of stomach ennui. Was it worth it? We sincerely hope so.
So I realized a few minutes ago there wasn’t an episode readied for you today. For that, I apologize. So here’s one. If you don’t like it, tough crap – we’re professionals here. We don’t have the time to listen to the whining of you people.
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.
A flat, wide bowel movement – visually. Thin chocolate and a lot of caramel.

A walk back in time for Hans – a bar of honeycomb/sea foam enrobed in chocolate. Good but yeah.

A couple more found at the Cost Plus World Market – and the advent of Miles in our episodes! Watch and feel the magic!
Bereft of Yorkshire Terrier to our sadness. We’re split on this one so you’ll have to give it a try.

Our second Choco Lonely from Tony’s – and another really nice one we both enjoyed.

Since having the Big Turk – the basic slur of a fine confection known as Turkish Delight, I’ve been hoping to find some for Kit to try. I mean if you’ve tried Turkish Delight, you know that it tastes nothing like chocolate covered Swedish Fish. I mean really!
A lovely melange of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and other flavors in a jellylike, chocolate covered package. Kit hated it.

Hopes were high, but this failed to deliver. Inauthentic and didn’t evoke horchata; would you put chocolate syrup in horchata?

We went out for ramen and it was great. Then we waltzed over to a Cost Plus World Market and found that they had chocolate bars. $70 and a lot f guilt later, here we are. Going in, I think these are both British bars. Let’s get to it.
Strawberry flavor was almost raisin like and meringue bits were much like Violet Crumble/honeycomb. Some bitterness there.

A ‘busy bar’ with wafer and rice crisps… Nice chew to it and we were enthused.

We meet the infamous Lindt Chocolatiers once again in the octagon as well as British powerhouse Cadbury in this battle royale of life, death, and chocolate. A real struggle for dominance in a land of despair.
Although Hans felt a slight uvula response, they both enjoyed this one. Toffee was a nice ratio to chocolate.

Looking for vanilla in this one was a matter of outfitting the tongue with hip waders to get through all the sweetness.
