These are two more chocolate bars I bought in Korea. They were vaguely familiar to me already. The KicKer bar looks like the KitKat bar here in the US. Not surprisingly, it tastes just like like the KitKat bar also, with the exception that it seems to be thicker on the chocolate, and less on [...]
I bought some chocolate while I was in Korea. Well, I THOUGHT I bought some chocolate (can anyone translate Korean?). I picked out this box on the shelf because it had a picture of cacao pods on it. I knew they were some sort of cookie, but there’s cacao pods on it, so it HAD [...]
I bought a few of the Choxie chocolates I’ve been meaning to try. I wait until they are on sale because they are ridiculously overpriced. But I was in luck last week, they did have some on sale. So I picked up the Dark Chocolate Cocoa Nib Truffle Bar and the Dark [...]
I was in Target this week and spent a few minutes digging through their assortment of chocolate. Most of it is not so very special, but I spotted a new variety from Mars, more specifically, a Dove product.
At first they looked like the regular Dove chocolates, but then I noticed the packaging looked different. [...]
I received a long awaiting package in the mail yesterday from far across the sea. Thanks, Jack! :)
I tried a couple last night, being very mindful of not overdoing it as this is the first chocolate I’ve had in a month. The first one was the Alpia Alpenmilch, which is a milk chocolate made by [...]
I was in the store a while ago and came across something chocolate related. I say “related” because it could have been for anything, but it just happen to be related to chocolate. It was a can of hot chocolate that heats itself. Hillside Hot Cocoa comes in a can that you [...]
Did someone light a fire under Hershey’s or what? I was in the store the other day and spotted their new Single Origin collection. They sell them in big bars but also in this handy sampler bag. Single Bean Origin is the new catch phrase in the chocolate world. The idea [...]
This week I had a chance to sample two bars of Amano chocolate. I may have a new favorite.
The two bars I tried were Ocumare and Madagascar, both of which are a dark 70% cacao bar. My favorite! The Madagascar bar was heaven. It had that tart/dark flavor that is often [...]
Just a quick chocolate post about the news that Hershey is laying off 1500 workers. Apparently, they are moving some of their manufacturing operations to Mexico. Coming from the automotive business, this sounds all too familiar. Even worse, the analyst’s comment about it sounds the same:
“Bottom-line, this plan should provide (Hershey) with [...]
When I was in Canada for Around the Bay, I picked up some chocolate in the local market/mall/thing. It came in this big block and I was intrigued because it was from Columbia and it was for making drinking chocolate.
For a couple of bucks it was worth a try. The chocolate is made [...]
