Demarquette Selection Box

This has to be one of the best chocolate selection boxes I've tried - its most awesome.

Åkesson’s 75% Criollo Madagascar

This bar offers a sweet and sour experience with the balance of saltiness and red fruits. Although it's not perfect, it still does offer an immensely enjoyable experience.

Galaxy Bites

This is what I call convenience chocolate treats. But the most important thing is they're damn light too and not extremely sweet.

Hershey’s Whatchamacallit

If you were expecting a fine dining experience in the world of chocolate then you'd be very disappointed. At least its not a terrible bar of chocolate, like I find so many of their other bars are.

Cioccolatini All’Olio D’Oliva by Nudo Italia

If you're wanting some robust olive oil chocolates then you'll have to look elsewhere. There's nothing powerful or archetypal Italian here, they're very subdued to say the least.

Pralus Cuba 75% Dark Chocolate

I was hoping for so much more from Pralus with this 75% bar made with Cuban cacao. But alas it was very muted and left me wanting more acidity. If you are looking for a mild dark chocolate bar with less cocoa butter then try this one.

Dog Chocolate Treats from Barking Buddies

The dogs just loved these chocolate treats. I bet yours would do too!

Pierre Marcolini 85% Dark Chocolate From Peru

This is my first bar I've tried from Pierre Marcolini and comes from the Alto Piura region of northern Peru. The aroma was sensational whilst the flavour had decent honey notes but was a touch dry.

Can You Make A Nice Summer Ice Lolly From Winter Gingerbread Hot Chocolate?

I found a bottle of Hotel Chocolat Gingerbread drinking chocolate and I thought I should use it. I’m not one for generally drinking hot drinks in summer, my parents always seemed to try and find the most boiling brew on the hottest day of the year. I’m more of an ice lolly man. So I wondered if...

Choccy Munchy Seeds

If you're having trouble snacking on chocolate that you know you just shouldn't eat then give these Choccy Munchy Seeds a go as they're packed full of nutrients and taste very good too. You can also find them in a variety of superstores and local health food shops.

Chocolate Kirsch Cherries From Montezuma’s

I just loved these chocolate-coated kirsch cherries. Montezuma's have created a delightful fruity chocolate treat for hot summer days. If you get the chance, go to the park with some Champagne or other tipple, and a box, or two, full of these and just while a couple of hours reading a good book or just watching the world go by!

Space Food – Milk Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

If I was an astronaut and was forced to eat this rubbish I'd catch the first space ship home. It really is dreadful. Of course, its a novelty gift, nothing more. So you're not really expected to like it - surely?

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.

chocoMe Bespoke Dark Chocolate Bar with Rose, Cherry, Strawberry and Cinnamon

This bespoke dark chocolate bar from chocoMe had Rose, Cherry, Strawberry and Cinnamon on top and was actually pretty nice. The only problem is that it comes from Hungary and it might not be so easy to get hold of in the UK.

Zotter Balleros Pineapple in Coconut and Pineapple

A very quick review of the Zotter Balleros left me thanking myself that I didn't have any more than I did.

Royal Wedding Marc Demarquette Chocolate Heart

If the Royal wedding is your thing and you also love chocolate then Mar Demarquette has really hit the spot with this gift box.

Pierre Marcolini Mini Easter Eggs

I just adored the almond praline in this selection of Pierre Marcolini chocolate mini eggs. If you get the chance to try some, you should.

Paul A. Young Billingtons Simnel Brownie

For those of you who live in London, you'll definitely have to give this Paul A. Young Billingtons Simnel Brownie a try this Easter - its just fantastic and a great alternative to an Easter egg.

Parisian Creams from The Arran Chocolate Factory

If you like very sweet chocolate then this really is going to be your thing. They were far too sweet for me however.

Jaxx Mouthy Crunchie Chocolate Treats

So I don't normally review mass-market stuff aimed at kids, well only occasionally, but I actually liked these.

Cadbury’s Koko Easter Egg

It's a crying shame that the're still a market for milk chocolate that only has a minimum of 20% cacao solids and has a fair amount of vegetable oil in. But it must be Easter as we're bombarded with this sort of rubbish at this time of year.

Sue’s Chocolate Fudge

Ah, Sue's Chocolate Fudge. This stuff doesn't normally agree with me as its usually far too sweet. Although its obviously too sweet, it had a delightful rustic quality.

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.

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.

Luxury Milk Chocolate Easter Bunny Rabbit

I did very much enjoy this milk chocolate bunny rabbit from Melt, but there still wasn't enough personality in the chocolate to make me love it.

Pierre Marcolini Selection Box

In terms of the overall experience, this chocolate selection box has to be the best of 2011.

Cocoa Black Dark Chocolate Selection Box

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

Chocolate Craft Assortment

I love getting selection boxes sent to me as I never know what they'll be like. This one from Chocolate Craft I thought was lovely.

More Double Trouble Chocolate Fudge

If you love your fudge very sweet then you won't go too far wrong with this from the Fudge Kitchen.

Cocoa Black Gourmet Easter Egg

What do you call a gourmet Easter egg? Well I wouldn't label this one as anything over than below average.

Wittamer Sugar Free Dark Chocolate

I don't think I've ever tried a sugar-free or diabetic bar of chocolate that I actually liked. But it must be so hard to make chocolate taste great without at least some sugar? Well Wittamer doesn't actually do too bad a job here.

Matcha Chocolat Mixed Selection Box

What a journey it has been for Katie with her wonderful Matcha Chocolat company. One year from inception she's created a much broader selection of ganaches that won't dissapoint.

Zotter Plum Brandy

Often I'm just perplexed by the flavours that Zotter create, but this one works, and works very well indeed. If you like alcoholic chocolate this one should give you the hit you crave.

[Closed] Win A Four Layer Pierre Marcolini Selection Box

A competition to win some absolutely fantastic chocolates from Pierre Marcolini.

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.

Nigella Lawson’s Chocolate Fruit Cake Recipe

And so we try Nigella Lawson's Chocolate Fruit Cake Recipe. It isn't the cheapest we'll ever back, but you should end up with a delightfully soft-centred and fruity cake.

Chocolate Cheesecake Recipe

This one of my favourite chocolate recipes on here. It just looks absolutely fantastic!

How To Make Your Own Easter Eggs

Who knew that doing your own homemade Easter eggs would be so much fun. It tasted interesting too. The secret is choosing the right chocolate though.

Blyss Chocolate Tangerine Romance

Ah Blyssfull chocolate. This was a big hit for me. And that's not only because of the ethics behind the company,

Charbonnel et Walker Vanilla Truffles

Unless you like very sweet white chocolate truffles I'd give these ones from Charbonnel et Walker a miss. They've very sweet indeed.

Amedei 1er Cru 70% Single Origin From Madagascar

The Amedei 1er Cru 70% Single Origin From Madagascar was a very good bar of chocolate, but what else would you expect from this company?

CHOC Chick Raw Chocolate Making Starter Kit

The CHOC Chick Raw Chocolate Making Starter Kit is actually very good value for money as at £11.99 you get about thirty chocolates and about an hour of fun.

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...

Paul A. Young Valentine’s Brownie

What more could you want from a special Valentine's chocolate treat? This brownie from Paul A. Young is special in that its incredibly moist and flavoursome. Just don't eat it all in one go, you'll want to savour every bite.

Handmade Strawberry & Champagne Chocolate Truffles

I don't recall tasting any truffles in the past few months as delicious as these. The sweetness is more of the fructose variety than anything artificial and the Champagne is just of the right strength to add some warmth without being overly intoxicating. Just delightful.

Buffalo Milk Chocolate

There's nothing powerful or acute with this milk chocolate bar made with buffalo's milk but Artisan du Chocolate have done a great job creating something different.
