Chococo Raspberry Pavlova Milk Chocolate Heart

Every chocolatier seems to sell chocolate hearts for Valentine's Day, but too few make anything worth taking notice off. Most of them seemingly use the cheapest couverture they can and then sprinkle some ingredients on top. There's nothing original about that.

A housewife’s Review on Chocolat Bonnat Equateur

A housewife’s review on Chocolat Bonnat Equateur from Dawn Woodgate. Dawn is an amateur baker but a full time chocolate lover. I hope you enjoy her review!

Pralus 75% Vanuatu

This Pralus 75% Vanuatu dark chocolate was predominantly one that tasted of gingerbread with the occasional hint of orange. I loved that its from a different origin, but I'll have to try more from their before I make my mind up.

Amano Guayas 70%

I normally love what Amano do, they've created some fantastic bars in the past, but I just don't think this one reaches the heights of those previous bars.

Christmas at Santa’s House

These chocolate treats for children aren't cheap, but they're very enjoyable. The outer packaging is very engaging whilst the chocolates inside are wrapped perfectly for sharing or for keeping for yourself and enjoying as an occasional treat.

Divine Fairtrade Milk Chocolate Advent Calendar

The Divine milk chocolate advent calendar might taste a touch too sweet for me but I loved the message that it promotes - which is typically one missed at this time of year.

Mrs Crimble’s Large Chocolate Macaroons

Do you wish for a chocolaty treat that's also gluten free and bored of just having dark chocolate? Well here's an alternative. I know they have a lot of saturated fat and sugar in, but you only live once.

Rabot Estate 65% 120 Conch

It's always nice to try something different, but despite being noticeably milder than the shorter conch version, I still found this a touch one dimensional.

Michel Cluizel Maralumi 64%

Michel Cluizel seem to always make fantastic chocolate, but we can't expect every bar to be an example of perfection. This bar is just too sweet for my liking and seems to be significantly more so than any of their bars which have a slighly higher concentration of cocoa.

Artisan du Chocolat Rooibos

If you're looking for a milk bar but with something a little bit more interesting about it than the usual fair then you should try this one out.

Amedei Bianco

Is there any white chocolate that actually tastes nice and doesn't take you back to those teenage days of feeling like you've over-indulged on cheap chocolate? Well yes, even though its white chocolate it still was very nice.

Valrhona Guanaja 70% Grand Crus

This Grands Crus from Valrhona using single origin Guanaja cacao of the Trinitario Criollo varieties promised much but didn't actually deliver much. There was hardly any flavour to speak of a complete lack of drama. Valrhona built their name on the back of excellent chocolate, but don't match those heights with this bar.

Thorntons Chocolate Liqueur

It may be a bit rich for many people, but if you'd appreciate a chocolate alcoholic tipple then I think this should be the one to try!

South Devon Chilli Farm Bhut Jolokia Dark Chocolate

I received two slabs of dark chocolate made with Bhut Jolokia chilies as a batch #1 sample from the South Devon Chilli Farm. I expected it to make me feel ill like the Scorchio bar did, but thankfully it was so much more flavoursome and less faux. I can't wait for this bar to be launched properly.

The Grenada Chocolate Company Nib-a-licious 60%

This has a strange banana and mango flavour that is quite strange - but very enjoyable. The nibs, of course, give a lovely variable texture. I'd definitely say this is a must try bar.

Butlers Chocolates Dark Chocolate Mint Crunch

The fresh flavour of mint chocolate is my favourite and this Butlers Chocolates Dark Chocolate Mint Crunch was actually very pleasant.

Artisan du Chocolat Orchid & Orange Blossom Dark Chocolate

Although it didn't knock my socks off, it still was a very pleasant bar that I'd happily enjoy again. The flavours are subtle but you can't have robust chocolate all of the time.

Feeding Your Imagination Beautiful White Chocolate

I very much enjoyed this white chocolate from Feeding Your Imagination. It was a nice break from the other types of chocolate.

Vosges Naga Bar

If you like chocolate that has a strange, warm and interesting flavour then I think this will probably be the one for many of you. For me, it was good, but could have been better.

Coppeneur Trinidad 72% Chilli and Lavender

If you wanted to try a Coppeneur dark chocolate bar then this Trinidad 72% Chilli and Lavender is very good, not exceptional, but definitely worth considering if you like chilli chocolate. There's not a great deal of heat, so it would suit most chocolate lovers.

La Maison du Chocolat Praline Mini Eggs

I was convinced I had tried these mini eggs before and I had – last year when they came presented in a coffret (that’s “box” to you and me!). This time they’ve sent me a fairly substantial 280g bag which contains about thirty-three praline mini eggs of three different types. The...

Green & Blacks Organic Dark Chocolate Easter Egg

If you're looking for an organic dark chocolate Easter egg then give this one from Green & Blacks a try as its great value and taste taste pretty good - although its less bitter than I remember.

The Chocolate Café Crème Caramel Milk Chocolate Bar

If you wanted something broody and bitter then obviously this Crème Caramel Milk Chocolate Bar from Chocolate Café won't be the right choice. But if you needed a sweet pick-me-up then this bar would be perfect for you.

Betty’s Chocolate Brown Biscuits

It's very difficult to go wrong with biscuits. An although these were nice, I felt there was just something missing.

Asda Chocolate Flower Pot Cake For Mother’s Day

Obviously I normally only review gourmet chocolate, but I occasionaly make an exception - and its a good job I did as I'd miss out on this cake.

Raw Chocolate Easter Eggs from Rawr

If you're looking for an Easter gift and the person you're buying for just has to have organic or natural chocolate, then there really isn't anywhere else to visit this year - well from what I've reviewed anyway!

Dubble Chocolate Easter Egg Hunt Kit

These chocolate eggs created for the Divine Dubble brand are cute and a perfect way to buy eggs for an Easter egg hunt which are both fairly cheap and tastes wonderful.

Cocoa Black Dark Chocolate Selection Box

It would be hard to find a more gorgeous chocolate selection box than this anywhere in the world.

Czekolada Deserowa Prażone Ziarno Kakao

This 70% Dark Chocolate From Ghana bar from Manufactura Czekolady was a lot sweeter than I thought. Instead of having an acidic tone, it was more fruity and sweet.

Thorntons Coconut & Lime White Chocolate Bar

The Thorntons Coconut & Lime White Chocolate Bar is actually one of the best white chocolate bars I've tasted in a good while. There's no major sweetness and the lime flavour plays a significant enough role to really appeal to me.

Original Hawaiian 60% Dark Chocolate

I enjoyed this Original Hawaiian 60% Trinitario Dark Chocolate bar but expect it would have tasted much better when it was fresh last year, instead of waiting eight months to review it. It produces a mild flavour that be a perfect compromise for people just starting their dark chocolate experiences.

Chocolate Sablé

Ah! The lack of an e-ecut in the product label made me wonder if I was about to consume some Zotter-like animal-based biscuit confection. Luckily Wikipedia was at hand to set the record straight and inform that a sablé is a biscuit that originates from Sablé-sur-Sarthe in north-eastern France and was...
