Reviews of chocolate from around the world
She had that
Camarillo brillo
Flamin out along her head,
I mean her mendocino bean-o
By where some bugs had made it red
She ruled the toads
Of the short forest
And every newt in idaho
And every cricket who had chorused
By the bush in buffalo
She said she was
A magic mama
And she could throw a mean tarot
And carried on without a comma
That she was someone I should know
Last year, we did a big huge thing about Frango Chocolates. We tried every single variety. We’d pondered doing an update, but there are no new recipes and no new varieties. This is a special re-release of this list with a little more info at the beginning. Enjoy!
Well, the title is apt insofar as Hans is concerned, but for Kit both ends of the stick point to bleah.
Talento amendoas e passas – Brazil
While Hans found this one to the the ultimate, Kit wasn’t completely sold on it, but thought it was pretty good.
Kit – 3.5 out of 5.0
Hans 5.0 out of 5.0
Ticket Chocolates Grasshopper Pie – California, United States
Kit was a little worried about the inclusion of grasshoppers at the outset, but assured of their lack of inclusion set her at ease. Unfortunately, we found spearmint instead of peppermint here which disappointed.
Kit 0 out of 5.0 stars
Hans 1.5 out of 5.0 stars
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!
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.

Pop Rocks is NOT champagne! (pronounced sham-pan-ya). Chocolate and orange pop rocks.

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.
