Mini chocolates for mini celebrations

Advantages: Taste
Disadvantages: Calories

...has been running since 1932. Mars celebrations is a delicious group of chocolates consisting of miniature versions of several well-known chocolates like the mouth-watering Mars or Snickers as well as several chocolates only found in Celebrations such as the truffle. Celebrations make the ideal present and are also brilliant to snack on while watching a film. So at Tesco's I decided to buy Celebrations instead of Roses leaving the latter for next ...
...least preference. 8. Mars Now I know most people will disagree with me with this one but personally I find the caramel with chocolate simply sickly. Also, in 2007 many people were furious as the big Mars chocolates weren't suitable for vegetarians. They changed the big bar but apparently they didn't change the miniature version found in celebrations. This includes 38 calories per chocolate. 7. Milky Way Milky Way in my opinion is simply not particularly ...

Review of Mars Celebrations

Not quite a bunch of roses : Cadbury's Roses

Advantages: Nice chocolate, a couple of good fillings
Disadvantages: Lack of variety of fillings, lots of old flavours are now missing

...fortunes.....thus:- THE CENTRES: CADBURY DAIRY MILK (purple wrapper) This is simply two conjoined small squares of ordinary, unadulterated Cadbury's milk chocolate, as we all know it. Nice and creamy with that good old Cadbury's taste. I'd guess that the size of each square is a little smaller than would be in a bar of Cadbury's chocolate. Although it tastes exactly the same, I found this updated version of Cadbury Dairy Milk contained within ...
...piece of chocolate (for the Cadbury Dairy Milk one) into 2 small cubes, as surely the taste is the same? It just seems as if Cadbury's have now lost a piece of history by doing that. This box of chocolates was rather nice, but not wildly exciting and with a limited selection of fillings - well worth the £1.99 I paid for them though. I'm not sure what the full price usually is; I guess in the region of £3.29 to £3.99, and if that's so, then I really ...

Review of Cadbury Roses

The F-word stands for 'first-class'

Advantages: Nice selection
Disadvantages: Very expensive

...I came across boxes of Gordon Ramsay's Just Desserts Chocolates at Tesco. Priced at a whopping £5.68, I initially disregarded them, but then I remembered I had some money off coupons which I could use. So I thought I'd treat myself. The box describes the chocolates as 'chocolates of unique character' and they are just that. Each individual chocolate is inspired by recipes in Gordon Ramsay's book, 'Just Desserts', which makes for an interesting selection ...
...silky paper wrapper, which has Gordon Ramsay's stylish autograph embossed across it. A rich profusion of chocolatey aromas greets you and entices you to give the chocolates a try. So let's not waste any more time. I shall start with my favourite truffle, 'Salted Fudge and Honeycomb'.... SALTED FUDGE & HONEYCOMB This is a rich butter fudge truffle, covered in a dark Belgian chocolate which contains honeycomb chips. I find this chocolate quite unusual ...

Review of Nestle Quality Street

The ambassador is really spoiling us with this one!Ferrero Rocher

Advantages: yummy, tasty, chocolate!!!!!!
Disadvantages: 72 calories EACH!!!!

I absolutly love Ferrero Rocher's and at christmas time get loads in because I know everyone else loves them too :o( lol! They usually come in a plastic box like container, but at christmas time you can get the pyramid shaped box and the christmas tree shaped packaging too! They make a great present too as they look quite festive. In the little rectangular box you get 16 gold foil balls over 2 layers, which sit in a brown cup, under the wrapper, ...
...You can get the Ferrero Rocher Chocolate Diamond which is a flat box of 1 layer of 25 chocolates this is in Asda priced at £5.29 but is on offer 2 for £8. You can also get a tray of 32 chocolates, these are wrapped in dark brown, silver, and gold so I am guessing these are milk chocolate, white and dark chocolate, I haven't yet tried these but they are in Asda priced at £6.82. There a a few other varities available but you will need to check them ...
