I just bought these Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Squares with peanut butter inside. I saw the commercial for this new peanut butter flavor and the ad makes it look simply delicious. The chocolates are individually packaged there are only 9 squares in the box / bag and it costs $3.99. To me this is overpriced to begin with but I love peanut butter and chocolate and just expected these to be high q...

I stay by the beach, and most importantly, near Bracegirdle's House of Fine Chocolate! I've tried three other chocolate stores here in South Australia and I must say, Bracegirdle's has the BEST chocolate so far!It's just really creamy and rich, but most importantly, it's not too sweet! You can NEVER get sick of their fondue! Although I don't quite enjoy their dessert bec...

   I did a review on a wonderful chocolate bar, called Green & Black's Mint. It was delicious and I look forward to trying all of Green & Black's organic chocolate. While checking out a new natural foods store I came across Green & Black's Cherry! I have been looking for this but haven't been able to find it. I love chocolate and I love cherries, so I ...

This is one of my favorite holiday traditions. Every year when I was growing up, my parents got me a chocolate Christmas calendar similar to this one. When I had kids of my own, this was one of those holiday traditions I knew I wanted to share with them as well and I have been lucky enough to still find them every year.The calendar is a thin cardboard box  tha...

At christmas time, I receive candy every year from someone that I know, this year I received a medium sized bag full of different flavored, very rich flavored, medium sized square square shaped chocolates. It stated on the packaged that they were a limited edition, so I'm assuming that the wrapper is limited edition, due to the fact that several people that I offered my gift to stated that ...

Well, Easter is right around the corner, and the stores are packed with Easter goodies.  I picked up some Easter treats and gave my husband a solid milk chocolate bunny from Frankford.  He already ate the head off this little guy, but he has to be careful not to eat too much at one time because he's a diabetic.This bunny cost only .98 at Walmart.  It is 2.5 oz, and my husband...

Enjoying either Bailey's Irish Cream or O'Donnells in my coffee is a treat for me. I was delighted when I found that there was a new product on the market, White Chocolate. We waited for the perfect evening, brewed our coffee, added the O'Donnell's White Chocolate Irish Cream and prepared to savor the product. The smell was delightful, the flavor only somewhat acceptable. The gi...

If you're old enough to remember penny candy, you probably remember Ice Cubes. If you can remember nickel candy, you may even remember them. They used to be right beside the check-out counter, little squares of chocolate in blue wrappers showing a polar bear, and called "Ice Cubes."I never have figured out why they got their name.  They don't taste like  most other c...

I have been a fan of Guylian Chocolate Seashells for many years, buying it for gifts and enjoying it myself. This chocolate is imported from Belgium. It is sold in nice boxes with a transparent window on top that allows you to take a peek inside and see the chocolate pieces. They are shaped as various seashells (hence the name), shrimp and sea horses. The box I normally buy is a 8.82 oz box tha...

I'm a chocoholic and proud of it. You'll never hear this girl refuse anything this satisfying and delectable. When I'm looking for something to satisfy my cravings quickly, I always reach for Cadbury's. These monster bars are divided into fat pockets of sinfully good delight. Bite into one and your mouth is filled with the sensual taste and feel of warm caramel and blissfully&nb...

Just a little extra excitement in a candy that is pretty special but not as pricey as the really high end stuff.I really like Dove Dark Chocolate.  The almond bits add a real burst of the almond flavor, but because each candy is really packed with almond bits you do lose the smooth texture in your mouth that the plain ones give.  As much as I like almonds, one of the best things about...

For the past two years I have been collecting Metal Chocolate Candy Molds, mainly from Europe.  Being Dutch, I only collect the St. Nicholas molds (also know as Sinterklaas), by himself, or on his horse, and also his sidekick Black Peter (better know by the Dutch as Zwarte Piet).  The one I have pictured here is one I found recently on ebay, the best place I have found to look for the...

Everyone who knows me knows how much I love chocolate. While I can be briefly satisfied with Hershey's kisses or a Hershey bar, and happier longer with Dove Chocolates or Ritter Sport, for the real chocolate gusto, I go to Lindy Sue's.Lindy Sue's is an old-fashioned soda fountain/lunch place in the front part of Mandan Drug, in Mandan, ND, right across the Missouri River from my hom...

These are my favorites of the chocolates that we can get locally on a regular basis.These cost more than M&Ms or the Hersey’s Mixed minis, but I think they taste good enough to be worth it, and they aren’t as expensive as the really specialty chocolates.  I don’t know how Dove does it, but it seems to me that they really do manage to make their chocolates super smooth...

I bought a package of these on sale. They are very pretty, and tasted pretty good, but they don’t taste like regular M&Ms very much, and I think there are better fancy chocolates for the price.These are something you might buy for a special party, certainly not for everyday eating.  I happened to get a pack on markdown for half price, which made them only expensive, not exorbitan...

I'm a chocolate lover. I love Hershey's original Chocolate Candy Bar. The creamy texture when I have it in my mouth is like no other taste imaginable. I feel that the chocolate is really fresh when it snaps. When I go to break piece off to eat, I like to hear that snap of freshness. The packaging is nice and the two layers of paper and foil is what keeps a Hersey bar fresh. Whats nice a...

When most people think of gourmet chocolate, they think of far away lands like Switzerland and Germany.  But there is a great place right here in the United States that has the best chocolate I have ever had.  It is called DeBrands's Chocolate and they are located in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  You can order on-line at DeBrand.com.I was looking for a gift basket for my husband who ...

I used to work for a lady fro Switzerland. She was all about Swiss and European chocolate, so much so she opened a chocolate shop! She always had a good supply of Lindor chocolate balls on hand in three different flavors: chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate. It's hard to tell which flavor has which color wrapper, but I always knew the white chocolate balls were in gold. The outsi...

Jacquot Truffles are real French truffle chocolate candy, soft, delicious, melting in your mouth and fingers as well, so do not hold it too long. It is very nicely packaged in a small golden box, and the truffles inside are protected by a special puffed pouch. However, as I have once discovered, the pouch isn't enough to protect this chocolate from those who do not know how to properly hand...

I love chocolate, and am a sucker for anything with that flavor or scent.  Jaqua Mint Chocolate Shower Syrup, a "Hydrating Body Wash With Peppermint Extract" has one of the best chocolate (with mint) fragrances of any "chocolate" bath product that I've found -- and I've found plenty!Don't let the green color throw you; there is real chocolate scent here alon...
