Reviews of chocolate from around the world
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 wow rad – so in the previous episode, I was whining and moaning about how much I wanted to try these. Well, basically I broke Kit down after the past evening’s horror of last weeks samplings and we got to enjoy these. These are some products that really have withstood the test of time and with good reason, although we had different opinions on some.
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.
Just an amazing amount of chai masala in this and it really fascinateds us.

A neat looking bar with a very nice orange taste to it – at least Hans thinks so.

We both agree this isn’t only unique but absolutely delicious. A very thoughtful and elegant departure from the norm.

A nice little sampler of varieties that was given to us by the folks at Fran’s Chocolate at the Northwest Chocolate Festival.
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.

With this post, all episode of The Chocolate Break to date are up! I found myself with a lot of extra time. Everyone here was sick so I just sat on here and hammered everything out. New posts will appear here on Thursdays around 11am Seattle time.
This one was incredibly good – very sweet with a lot of great strawberry flavor – even visible pieces of strawberries in the bar!

It’s a really big bar full of double entendre, rice puffs, chocolate and caramel.

Another episode with Miles, however we start to see he’s quickly losing interest in this whole, sordid after hours affair and is getting ready to fall asleep.
Confetti? Colors! Fun! Like Funfetti frosting, cake batter & frosting.

Good for those who yearn for the scent of burning motor oil in their mouths. We abhor this.

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.

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!
We want to be best friends with the guy who gave us these. Seriously. Both varieties we sampled were top notch and just extraodinary!

Dairy free bar with horchata flavor. Leaps and bounds closer to horchata than the last one we tried.
