The Chocolate Twilight Zone

Advantages: A good tasting after dinner treat
Disadvantages: The fondant filling is a little on the scant side.

...Review of Terry's Twilight after dinner mint chocolates. Packaging and Contents Terry's Twilight are an after dinner type chocolate mint. The individually wrapped chocolates are presented in an attractive, slim, gold cardboard box, decorate with scrolls. The box carries a deep green banner across the middle which bears the Terry's trademark and the 'Twilight' name in a gold font. The banner also features the description 'Rich, dark chocolate with a smooth mint fondant centre, laced with crisp sugar pieces' and a picture of the chocolates. The box is a little tricky to open neatly, in fact my other half opened ours and ended up simply ripping it apart, however, I'm sure others would manage to open the box with a little less haste! Inside the box is a plastic tray holding 24 individually wrapped after dinner mints...

Review of Terry's Twilight Chocolates

Plain but yet amazing chocolate

Advantages: Taste, quality, milkyness
Disadvantages: Small, No filling

...Kinder are pretty much the kings of chocolate as far as quality (though Cadbury's are Kings on the fact they have so many options), the Kinder chocolate as a quality and taste is so much ahead of it's competitors such as Cadbury's, Nestle and Mars that to be honest it's quite degrading to even talk about them in the same sentence. Whilst the rivals to Kinder focus on milk chocolate it could be said Kinder focus on more milk and less chocolate which gives a rather unique and soft taste to it but yet it never seems to lack the taste of it's rivals, it just focus on beign softer. Kinder are one of the biggest arms of Ferrero SpA the Italian company that are best known for Nutella but have spread into other ranges such as premier chocolates (Ferrero Rocher), Tic Tacs and obviously the high quality kids chocolate Kinder. With the Kinder...

Review of Kinder Chocolate

Chocolate Indulgence

Advantages: a good read
Disadvantages: too many sub plots

...I was looking around for a Carole Matthews book in the library last week and stumbled across this one by mistake. After reading the blurb I decided it might be a good one to read to I gave it a go. Lucy is a thirty something single girl with a disastrous love life behind her. She just can't seem to find the right man for her, and the one she thought was her future cheated on her at every opportunity. Her main passion in life is chocolate, which Lucy and her four friends, Autumn, Nadia and Chantelle all adore and spend far too much time in a chocolate shop eating all different kinds of chocolate concoctions. During these times they discuss life's ups and downs and support each other through the good and the bad. The book focuses on each of the girls, entwining their lives together as well as homing in on their separate issues they...

Review of The Chocolate Lovers' Diet - Carole Matthews

MORE MILK . . . LESS COCOA . . . Kinder Chocolate

Advantages: Quality chocolate...good taste. Loved by the kids
Disadvantages: Not enough portion!

...As a child, I always liked eating chocolate and sometimes used to substitute a tasty chocolate bar for a whole meal! It may sound very unhealthy, but this habit has carried on with me so that even now, I can happily swap my sandwich with a DECENT chocolate bar for lunch! Not all chocolates are edible and taste like chocolate. Some brands are total torture and taste like soap or simply wax, while the good quality ones have the right smell, texture and taste. I mostly prefer smooth, thick and chunky darkish chocolate pieces like a Yorkie bar, but sometimes I go entirely with the opposite and eat white chocolate! One of the best chocolates I have ever eaten (and in fact am still eating) is Kinder Chocolate. And it is one of the best chocolates in the market; I have eaten so many different varieties, but no one does MILKY chocolates...

Review of Kinder Chocolate

White chocolate and muffins

Advantages: tastes good and cheap
Disadvantages: lots of calories

...I found that there is a cheap chocolate trio available is Sainsbury?s Basics series. Actually I have tried all of them but now I review the white chocolate. First impressions ---------------------- This chocolate is in a white wrapper as the Sainsbury?s Basics series usually are wrapped. The Sainsbury?s logo and the White Chocolate title on it are written with orange. The bar is 100 g and costs 0.27 pounds. The wrapper can be opened easily. It is cheap wrapper so don?t expect to be re-sealable. It has all the nutritional and ingredients information on the wrapper. The white chocolate looks exactly the same as white chocolates look. It has a light beige colour. It smells sweet but in positive way. Ingredients: ---------------- Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Whole Milk Powder (from Cows' Milk), Whey Powder (from Cows' Milk), Skimmed Milk...

Review of Sainsbury's Basics White Chocolate

Cheap Chocolate

Advantages: Good value for money
Disadvantages: Might be tempted to buy too much

...Tesco Smooth Milk Chocolate (200g bar) Whilst in Tesco I headed towards their own brand of chocolate, in an effort to curtail my recent more expensive purchases. I have also read recently that supermarket own brand chocolate is now the most popular choice with shoppers. Their Smooth Milk Chocolate bar seemed very reasonably priced for its size. I know it is not always worth paying less if the quality is poor, but I decided to take the chance and find out if this was a bargain or not. I wanted to know if this was a case of getting what you pay for or if the chocolate was actually of a good standard. Brief Facts * This product is produced and packed in the UK. * The Best Before date on my bar was in 9 months time. * It is suitable for vegetarians. Allergy Alert * This product does not contain nuts...

Review of Chocolate Girls - Annie Murray

Aero without the Chocolate

Advantages: Fairly cheap, nice looking box, bubbly
Disadvantages: Not a great chocolate taste, nasty ingredients, difficult to find in shops

...I'd seen this advertised on TV quite a few times, and every time I did my big supermarket shop I would always have a look amongst the drinking chocolate/cocoa products but was never able to locate it. I would always ask several assistants at various supermarkets if they stocked it, and each time they would shake their heads and tell me that they didn't. Eventually, I gave up trying and continued to buy my Cadbury's Options. The only reason I wanted to try the Aero Drinking Chocolate is because (apart from good old Cadbury) Nestlé's Aero is the only other chocolate I like. I adore chocolate, including drinking chocolate, but it must be rich, sweet and full of chocolate taste, otherwise it doesn't really hit the spot. Anyway, a few weeks ago whilst I was in the tea/coffee aisle in Tesco, I spotted this stuff. There was a sign...

Review of Nestle Aero Chocolate

Sweet like chocolate!

Advantages: Enthralling story.
Disadvantages: Had to end!

...Finally I get to write a book review on a book that enthralled me from start to finish. The fact that this book is written and centred around an area not to far from my home is an added bonus. The book I will now review is "Chocolate girls, by Annie Murray". It is rare for me to read books just because they are written by a certain author, I prefer to read as much as I can regardless of author, but Annie Murray is one author I know I will get a good book from. So after my friend lending me this through my works book share scheme I was excited to get started, I was not disappointed. The story is centred around three young girls who all work and meet at the Cadburys factory in Bourneville. The year is 1939 and everyone is still a little blasé about the so called impending war, the young men are getting ready for conscript...
