Well hello there. A couple of weeks we came down with the covid. The flavor was omicron, basically a Greek letter O or 0. I hoped it would be a more interesting looking character but it’s not. It got every single one of us in the house, us and our two kids. It wasn’t fun. In fact in the next episode that comes out, the prolonged effect of that little bugger will be known. Either way, we review some Amazon Fresh delivered chocolate which overall we really didn’t like at all. Remember kids, don’t lick the windows on your school bus.
Episode #98 – The Chocolate Break Covid Omicron Edition
Welcome to another action-packed thing-that-we-do here. It’s pretty mind blowing how you just keep coming back for more – like lambs to the slaughter or a mouse to a cheese. But really, thank you – you’re the best fans we would never pay for. Paying for a fanbase is like buying friends, and we don’t approve of that form of desperation – even though it’s a common practice online these days. That’s kind of seedy, if you ask me. Bring on the constipation!
Episode #95: The Bubu Lubu Tree Of Hell
Bourbon Chocolatey Tree Stumps – Japan
Found this on a trip to a rarely visited Asian grocery a couple weeks ago. How bizarre. From the makers of tiny hamburgers come these Chocolatey Tree Stumps. What the hell is going on? I mean really – WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!
Hans – 0 out of 5 stars
Kit 0.5 out of 5 stars
Bimbo Bubu Lubu – Mexico
A layer of chocolate with marshmallow inside and then some flavored gel kind of strawberry stuff. Kit was not pleased.
Yes. Another Easter episode. This time, we go straight for the throat with some weighty rabbits. On the topic of the lepus, we must take a moment to chastise all of you for stealing their eggs. Chickens are one thing – but rabbit eggs? We’re very disappointed. Don’t do that.
Reese’s Peanut Butter Rabbit – USA
A large Reese amalgam – peanut butter filled with chocolate. You know the drill.
Hans – 5 out of 5 stars
Kit 2 out of 5 stars
Reese’s Mallow-Top Peanut Butter Cups – USA
We were both rather unhappy with this newcomer as it really didn’t taste as advertised.

Kit – 0 out of 5 stars
Russell Stover Caramel Bunny – USA
You can hear the whispers of the dark overlords in the fray as we try this one. Goopy.
After many months of meditating, it has come to our attention we completely forgot about all of you. Yes, we shirked our responsibility to the throngs of followers we have and decided to give a big ‘screw you’ to each and every one of you. But now, we’ve relented, and without apology, we resume our tasting and commenting on the various varieties of chocolate confections that you enjoy. These are trivial treats that make you feel as though life is worth living as you trudge through your days like a long walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night, drowsy and confused. With that, once again we bring you what you want.
Episode #91: Like The Legend Of The Creamy Bolus
Twix Cookies & Creme – United States
This one was a little confusing as it has an alright flavor, but it kind of left us feeling a little dirty. The creme also confused Hans as to whether it was caramel infused or not, however Kit was quick to point out the lack of caramel and corrected him accordingly.
Hans – 3 / 5 stars
Kit 3 / 5 stars
Kit Kat Duos Mocha+Chocolate – United States
We were both insensed and a bit disgusted with this one. The words we described these with were burnt and drudgery – Kit found the flavor a little burnt, and Hans found it not very enjoyable and kind of a chore in the chew department.
This is the second episode we did in July of 2020 and didn’t get edited until December. Kinda late, I know. Plus, there aren’t any new ones done to edit. So this is it. Is The Chocolate Break dead? Will the phoenix rise from the ashes? Maybe. Maybe not. Enjoy. Actually – really enjoy this – the more enjoy, the better chance of more episodes.
Episode #90: Udderly Lonely
Tony’s Choco Lonely White Chocolate Raspberry – Belgium
Can’t even extoll how amazingly good this one way, despite all the weird label stuff. As it turns out, there actually is a big issue in Africa with human rights abuses when it comes to cacao harvesting. Jacked up – chocolate is supposed to make people happy. But this stuff certainly made us happy.
Well, it’s that time again – the time of year where the natural order enters chaos mode. Rabbits and hamster laying eggs. Eggs made out of chocolate. Even eggs flavored with sour watermelon. Yeah. It’s not necessary. Really. Enjoy.
Well, this is a special occasion. Ten years after our first conflagration in the physical universe, outside the confines of the full duplex telecommunications stream you people call the telephone, we come together to tell of the mysterious juxtaposition of fruit and nut and the feet you can eat. Cheers.
Pretend chocolate that isn’t really chocolate and something that just doesn’t work. What’s sad is that the not chocolate gets our nod of approval and the actual chocolate doesn’t. These are troubling times, but you can rest assured we will protect you, nurture you, and coddle your little snowflake souls when selecting a confection is just too difficult of a task for you. You’re welcome.
