Recently, I discovered another “local” chocolatier who specializes in truffles, and had the opportunity to buy some of them and try them out. They normally do mail order, but on occasion they are in area stores selling directly.
These were sold in a liquor store and so all the truffles they were selling that day were [...]

Two new chocolate-like things for today. One is real chocolate, the other is chocolate containing candy.
The Bis chocolate candy was given to me by someone who had come from Brazil, and I guess they bought them there. The language on the package looks like Portuguese. They are kind of like a Kit Kat bar only [...]

I had the chance to try out two of Amano’s newest chocolate bars. In the interest of full disclosure and in compliance with the FTC’s newest rules, I received these bars for free from a marketing company. Ofcourse, as anyone who still reads my blog knows, if something is awful I will freely say so. [...]

Hey look! A post about chocolate. :)
This is the first time I have ever had E. Guittard chocolate before. I had read about it on another blog, but have never seen it in stores until now. While I was at the Cape this summer, I came across it in Stop ‘N Shop, of all places, [...]

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 [...]
