I bought some Seeds of Change Chocolate at the store this week, so that I could compare them here. I’ve bought some of their stuff before, with the full intention of blogging about it, but always ending up eating it and forgetting what it tasted like. I guess they make/sell alot of organic plants and [...]

I know this isn’t really chocolate, but I was sent a free bar to give it a review, and it does have chocolate chips, so here it is.
This is the Odwalla Mocha-walla bar. I’ve had alot of Odwalla products in the past, especially the Odwalla drinks. I tend to shy away from many of the [...]

Yesterday I received a small package in the mail from Amano chocolates containing samples of three new chocolates from them. Big things come in small packages!
Speaking of packages. Have a closer look at the artwork on the boxes themselves. The artists who did the artwork for each of these boxes is named on the back [...]

I have two bars today from Hebert’s. The Rocky Road and the Cookies and Cream bars.
I found these two bars in Massachusetts when I was heading to Cape Cod. The packing is more like a “sports nutrition bar” than a chocolate bar. Especially since it is completely sealed and not wrapped in paper with foil [...]

The good people at Mars have been hard at work reinventing their products. I finally had a chance to try their new M&M’s Premiums Chocolate Candies. I think they have to call them chocolate candies and not just chocolate anymore because of the level of sugar and other things like corn syrup and confectionery glaze [...]

I had a chance to try the Jembrana bar from Amano Chocolate this week. This bar is made solely from beans grown in Bali, in the Jembrana region (typically called a “single bean origin” bar). I don’t think I have had a bar yet made from beans in Bali.
Sorry for the terrible pictures of this [...]

I bought these two items because they were so intriguingly strange, I just had to try them. I’m sure the marketing people are tickled pink about that.
The first one is “chocolate mix Skittles”. Yup, chocolate. You know Skittles (made by our good friends at Mars). Skittle are the tangy, fruity, chewy candies that are generally [...]

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 [...]
