Bosch TAS 4012 Magic Black

It's a kind of (Black) Magic

Advantages: Delicious rich plain chocolate selection
Disadvantages: Chocolate hangover will ensue the next day

I just love plain chocolate and in my book you don't get a better selection for your money than Nestlé's Black Magic. The best plain chocolate is made simply with cocoa, sugar, vanilla and soya lecithin. If the chocolate has less than 50% cocoa then it will have been made with lots of sugar, which destroys the cocoa flavour. Similarly, chocolate made with more than 75% of cocoa will be too bitter, and lacking in sweetness. ~ PACKAGING & PRICE ~ Black Magic have been around for years of course but Nestlé constantly update and improve the selection. You can buy them in most supermarkets and lots of newsagents. Luckily for me they sell them in my local farm shop, so they are just a short trip in the car when there's rubbish on television and I get that 9.00pm craving for chocolate. Black Magic are packaged in a long flat oblong ...

Review of Black Magic Chocolates

Black magic chocolates

Advantages: Throw away chocs and use the trays for making ice cubes
Disadvantages: that some people out there believe these to be chocolates.

I know that crab sandwiches have disappointing bits of shell in them, chicken curry has bits of bone in it sometimes and Mummy doesn't seem to love Daddy in quite the same way anymore but i was hoping that Black Magic would just stay the same. I've just been given a box of black magic chocolates by a friend and would like to warn anyone in my age group, 48, that 'they are not what they used to be'! My dad used to buy them for Mum as a romantic gift and i remember the purple piece of crystalized violet on top of the violet creams, probably because they were not the best of the box and got left behind the longest... but, the overall opening was a delight, colourful and you just wanted to dive in..... But, no longer - Just in case anyone is about to take a nostalgic trip back to the good ol days of proper chocolate making, don't buy ...

Review of Black Magic Chocolates

She's a Black Magic Woman

Advantages: Smells wonderful, does the trick
Disadvantages: None

I admit, I used to be in that category of men who just didn't understand the fascination with Lush, especially as I was more aware of their bath products which were full of glitter and petals, than anything else. That was until Mrs. CFC introduced me to their range of massage bars which definitely made me a bit more receptive to the whole Lush thing. So when she phoned me up one day and said she had got a new massage bar from Lush called "Black Magic" I must confess I couldn't wait to test it out. So what does it look like? = With the name "Black Magic" you would expect it to look like a chocolate right out of the box, and in some ways you would be right with its cream coloured base and a chocolate layer on top, it does look good enough to eat. To be honest it reminded me of the sweets "Mintolas" and "Munchies ...
