Swiss dark chocolate

Advantages: chocolate
Disadvantages: none

...The Coeur de Suisse dark chocolate that I bought on holiday in France. This is a Swiss chocolate. I bought it in a Champion supermarket in France sorry I can not remember how many euros it cost nor find out on line. This chocolate is wrapped in a silver foil then in a dark paper wrapper with pictures of the Swiss mountains. This chocolate is quite a thin chocolate with small rectangular divisions these have lines like a fork/comb has been drawn across it. The taste of this dark chocolate is not over bitter it?s a deep taste one I really like, its sweet but not over creamy like a milk chocolate. It is a sophisticated taste. If I see this chocolate again I would buy it. Calories? Of course it?s got lots its chocolate isn?t it, but I can see no info on this 100g bar about calories. The ingredients are listed: - sugar...

Border Dark Chocolate Gingers - a small luxury

Advantages: delicious, chocolatey, gingery
Disadvantages: none

...= Border Dark Chocolate Gingers = I was really impressed when I took my first biscuit out of the box. The smell was rich and delectable, the infusion of dark chocolate and ginger is a tough aroma to beat, as they compliment each other so well. They seemed like a real luxury / treat before I had even tried them. The chocolate had a rippled effect on the top, and a wonderful almost greasy feeling to it, this made it feel very high quality, and I knew I was going to enjoy them. The dark chocolate coating seems to have an ideal thickness. It completely surrounds the biscuit and is just thick enough for your teeth to sink into before crunching through the biscuit. The rich bitter-sweetness of the chocolate, as you would expect, works very nicely with the warm spicy ginger. The smells and flavours are strong but not overpowering...

Bendick's Dark Chocolate

Advantages: Good brand
Disadvantages: A bit bland

...Bendick's Chocolate is a name that is synonymous with good, high quality chocolate. So it was with real pleasurable anticipation that I reached for the rather modestly sized bar of Bendick's Dark Chocolate that my wife gave to me. It had a good dark look to it and it certainly had a good "chocolately" smell to it. Would it have anything like the memorable bitter bite of Cadbury's Bourneville? Or perhaps it would have something like the somewhat smoother yet equally memorable tang of Terry's of York? Well, I had to say that I was disappointed with the taste of Bendick's Dark Chocolate. It wasn't that it tasted unpleasant. It is just that there was nothing all that distinctive about it as a chocolate product. You usually know where you are with a bar of chocolate. Cadbury's milk chocolate, Galaxy, Terry's, Thornton's, Nestle...

Smooth Dark Chocolate

Advantages: Tasty, if you like dark chocolate
Disadvantages: Sweet

...Galaxy Smooth Dark Chocolate (125g bar) Well, my 50th review is upon me, so I thought I would return to my favourite subject ? chocolate. I like to read what chocolate bars say about themselves and then check out if I think it is accurate. This bar says, ?The smooth Galaxy way to enjoy dark chocolate ?.. deeply smooth, intensely delicious and not at all bitter.? So, does this match up to my experience of it? A Few Facts * This bar of chocolate is suitable for vegetarians. ? Galaxy chocolate is part of Mars inc ? As this contains traces of nuts it is probably not suitable if you have a nut allergy, though the wrapper does not point this out. ? Galaxy will be the first Mars inc. brand to carry the Rainforest Certified Seal from 2010. Packaging I found the design of this packaging simple...

Palmer's Dark Chocolate & Peppermint Lip Butter

Advantages: Smells amazing, glossy texture, softens dry lips
Disadvantages: A littler pricier than some other lip balms

...This Palmer's lip butter is the perfect cross between lip balm and lip gloss. The butter is packaged in a white, easy-to-use squeezy tube with a screw top. The applicator is slightly slanted for easy application, which is highly useful. Firstly, the scent is gorgeous. It really does smell like peppermint and dark chocolate - almost good enough to eat and a major advantage compared with some other lip treatments. The peppermint aspect of the butter creates a lovely tingly effect so you know the product is actually working. The texture of the butter is oozy and soft, unlike solid lip balms but is thicker than most lip glosses. It glides on easily and creates a subtle gloss effect. It doesn't just look and smell good, though - it really does work. I suffer from dry lips often, and this is one of the most effective treatments that...

Ginger dark chocolate

Advantages: Ginger, tasty, sweet dark chocolate
Disadvantages: Too sickly

...Green and Black's ginger chocolate is a sweet dark chocolate bar containing 60% cocoa with 20% embedded pieces of crystallised ginger. Costing £1.89 for a 100g bar, it is one of the posher everyday widely available brands that you can pick up in most supermarkets or health food stores (though don't make the mistake of thinking that means they are healthy - they aren't!). All of the ingredients of the bar are organically certified according to the Soil Association's standards and do not contain any genetically modified material. Green and Black's are based in London and have been making organic chocolate since 1991. Unlike their Maya Gold brand, the Ginger brand is not fair trade; their website says that they pay premium price for all their ingredients, but not all are available under the fair trade scheme. The bars The ginger...

Review of Green & Black's Organic Ginger Chocolate

Dark chocolate...

Advantages: Depp digs deep into Wonka's eccentric psyche
Disadvantages: Elfman's eclectic soundtrack runs a little too wild

...Tim Burton is the perfect man to helm a new version of one of Roald Dahl's best loved novels and while this offbeat film will certainly not stick to people's expectations, Depp's remarkably original portrayal of Wonka will startle and captivate in equal measures. The fourth outing for the pair is as delirious an adventure as ever. Legendary chocolatier Willy Wonka [Johnny Depp] is now a recluse but has announced that he will allow five children the opportunity to tour his gigantic factory. To win they must find one of five golden tickets that have been hidden inside his chocolate bars. Charlie Bucket [Freddie Highmore] is desperate to find a golden ticket and discover the secrets that lie behind the factory gates? Burton's restrained opening reel introduces us to the simple Bucket family and the director masterfully elicits...

Release the darkness...

Advantages: delicious, cheap, reasonably healthy
Disadvantages: slightly unusual, hard to find

...(please ignore the picture Ciao have provided - that is the Muller Amore Cherry yoghurt). I am a yoghurt person, I guess there is no denying it! I do have my favourites, though I am never one to turn down something new! When I received my email through from Muller, I discovered that, along with the Light Lemon and Passionfruit (amazing yoghurt!), there was also going to be an addition to the Corner range, with the new Limited Edition Muller Fruit Corner Black Cherry and Dark Chocolate. I hunted for several weeks trying to track down this yoghurt, and it was a few weeks back in Asda that I finally found it. I was over the moon, delighted, ecstatic! I looked down at the lid. Yes, it was definitely it! The big purple Limited Edition sign threw itself at me. Straight into the trolley it went. I was tempted to buy two in case I couldn...

Chocolate and Sex? Thank you Jesus (1)

Advantages: Fantastic
Disadvantages: No freaking way

...FYI Mistress Organic Dark Chocolate Bar Where do I begin? I guess it all started when I was playing a PC game called Chocolatier 2 and some of the recipes in it included chocolate and chilli, so I thought: "I should really taste that." I knew that Lindt make such chocolate bars and actually found them on Ebay only and was about to buy them but then changed my mind when I found a more exciting product. If love is compared to the taste of chocolate, and taking drugs is compared to orgasm, then how on earth can we find sweet enough words to describe a combination of the most celebrated joys on earth; sex and chocolate? I ate one piece of this bar and kept daydreaming for three hours, but let's get to work. Appearance: The packaging is somewhat different and gives you the feel of something that is actually handmade...

Review of FYI Mistress Organic Dark Chocolate Bar

THE DARK SIDE

Advantages: It's dark chocolate
Disadvantages: Is it too dark?

...a chocoholic. However, I DO like Lindt products, and Mrs P likes to occasionally spoil me by melting a big old slab of the stuff and smothering pieces of fruit in it. Hands up who doesn't like chocolate-covered strawberries? Of course, if she really wanted to spoil me, I could think of better things to smother in chocolate. Anyway... Looking for something to offset the wetness of my coffee the other evening, I discovered the remains of a bar of this stuff sitting forlornly in the cupboard. It wasn't forlorn for long. The bar is made up of smaller squares for easy breaking, and is quite thin. As you might deduce from the amount of cocoa and the lack of milk, it's dark. Very dark. As dark as a Chandler thriller on a moonless night during the miner's strikes of '73. Hmm, as dark as that? Yes. But how does it taste? JINGS! Thatsa...
