Xocai Healthy Gourmet Chocolate Review

My husband recently discovered that one of his co-workers is a distributor for Xocai Healthy Gourmet Chocolate. I hadn’t heard of the company before but when his co-worker offered to let me try some of course I was more than happy to!
Overall I really liked the chocolate and would love to get my daily […]

Valor Dark Chocolate with Marcona Almonds

We took a trip to Cost Plus World Market last week to stock up on some more good chocolate (they finally have Tim Tams! And Aero Bars!).
I got a nice little pile of chocolate I’ve been wanting to try and my husband went right for this one, which is saying a lot because he’s not […]

Werther’s Original Caramel Chocolate

I saw the commercial for Werther’s Original Caramel Chocolate several weeks ago and knew I had to give them a try. I love Werther’s caramels and was glad to see them expand their line with a non-hard candy caramel chocolate combo!

My first impression of the candies were how small they are - they look much […]

Lindt Launches Excellence Chili Bar

I was contacted last week about trying out a new bar from Lindt, the Lindt Excellence Chili Bar. I excitedly responded that I’d love to, and then sat back and thought about it. I realized I had never tried a chili-infused chocolate of any kind - solid or liquid - even though it’s said to […]

Nestle Crunch Crisp Review

Another trip to Sam’s, another box of candy bars! This time I found the Nestle Crunch Crisp, and much like the Snickers Charged I liked it well enough.
I’m not a fan of Nestle chocolate much anymore. Like Hershey I think the quality has gone downhill over the years though there are still the occasional treats […]

It’s National Candy Month

My favorite month of the year! Ok, not really - but any month that you get to celebrate with candy is a good one.
Emily’s Chocolates, which I’ve written about before, are also celebrating candy month and the start of summer with their yummy dark chocolate-covered berries - strawberry, blueberry, and cherry.
The strawberries - […]

Limited Edition Snickers Charged

I’ve been looking for these everywhere and finally found a box last week!
Snickers Charged is a limited edition 1.83oz bar that includes 60 milligrams of caffeine as well as taurine and B-vitamins in addition to the milk chocolate, peanuts, caramel and nougat of a regular bar.
The packaging, which I assume is supposed to […]

Tortuga Caribbean Rum Cakes

I recently had the opportunity to try a couple of Tortuga Caribbean Rum Cakes. I wasn’t able to request specifically which ones I’d like to try so I didn’t get a chocolate one, but I did use a suggestion and added some chocolate syrup to the two I did get (original and coconut). Tortuga […]

Lindt Raspberry Bar

I found this bar of Lindt Raspberry at the Cost Plus World Market last week. It’s 3.5 ounces and feels like a pretty sturdy bar until you open it and realize there’s a thin strip of cardboard just under the front of the wrapper. Why? I imagine to protect the cute bubbles of raspberry and […]

During a chocolate expedition a couple of weeks ago I came across some Limited Edition Razzberry M&M’s.
