AMAZING
1st CHOCOLAT
Chocolaterie Maëlig, Saint-Émilion
Ok, like @foodiefoodie, I didn’t buy these but a quick google search suggests there is only 1 brick and mortar store in the world where these confections could have originated… That being said, they were delicious and some of the best chocolate I’ve had in recent times. I couldn’t always tell what each one was although I detected at least a few that I think were marzipan. I don’t always like everything in an assortment but everything I sampled that wasn’t already shared was excellent.
2nd NESTLÉ® KITKAT DARK WITH SOUTHERN AUSTRALIAN ORANGE
CS Fresh The Star Vista, Singapore
BRIEF: “Crisp wafer fingers covered with delicious swirls of rich dark chocolate and orange flavored choc made using oil from blood oranges grown in the stunning South Australian Riverland and Sunraysia region.” SOOT’S TAKE: Ingenious and the brief don’t hurt either. I only wish I had gotten an extra bar.
3rd ROYCE’ PURE CHOCOLATE VENEZUELA BITTER & GHANA SWEET ロイズ ピュアチョコレート ベネズエラビター & ガーナスイート
BLUE SKY NRT 91, BLUE SKY NRT 91番ゲートショップ
Regardless of whether you opt for the Venezuela Bitter, or the Ghana Sweet or just Sweet, the description on every box of their “Pure Chocolate” range is the same random construction: “Beautiful facade, weight, shape…everything is calculated to enhance the fine texture. Enjoy its smooth and mellow taste.” This box enabled me to try the Venezeula Bitter side by side with the Ghana Sweet, and the verdict is I like them both but in different ways. Your experience of either is going to depend on whether you ate one before or after the other because the taste of the preceding chocolate disk impacts the overall taste of the disk that follows. It enhances either the bitterness or the sweetness of the other. *I promise it’s the last Royce’ spot you’ll see in a while!
4th ROYCE’ PURE CHOCOLATE [GHANA SWEET] ロイズ ピュアチョコレート[ガーナスイート]
BLUE SKY NRT 91, BLUE SKY NRT 91番ゲートショップ
This marks my first purchase of a ROYCE’ product ever. They seem a great deal more affordable here than they are elsewhere. 🥇
5th ROYCE’ PURE CHOCOLATE: GHANA SWEET
BLUE SKY NRT 91, BLUE SKY NRT 91番ゲートショップ
I love these perfectly-sized disks of chocolate you can just pop into your mouth without gagging. They are perfectly balanced in their bitterness and sweetness, resulting in a smooth and mellow taste. ADDICTIVE!! I’m going to say it again: ADDICTIVE.
REALLY GOOD
6th CADBURY CHERRY RIPE
Coles Epping, Epping
BRIEF: “LUSCIOUS CHERRIES AND COCONUT IN OLD GOLD RICH DARK CHOCOLATE.” This is what I imagine snacking on a candy bar in the 1950-60’s somewhere in the British Commonwealth must’ve tasted like. It gives me vintage, nostalgic vibes from an era that exists only in my imagination.
7th CADBURY CHERRY RIPE DOUBLE DIPPED
Coles West Ryde, West Ryde
BRIEF: “LUSCIOUS CHERRIES AND COCONUT DOUBLE DIPPED IN OLD GOLD RICH DARK CHOCOLATE.” SOOT’S TAKE: Extra chocolate in this bar. I prefer the original.
8th LOTTE GHANA ROAST MILK 焦がしミルク ひとくちサイズ
DON DON DONKI JCube, Singapore
I’m not sure I tasted the roast in the milk chocolate but it was very smooth.
9th NESTLÉ® KITKAT DARK WITH TASMANIAN MINT
CS Fresh The Star Vista, Singapore
The KitKat version of an After Eight mint but with a tassie devil on the packaging.
11th HERSHEY’S CREAMY MILK CHOCOLATE WITH WHOLE ALMONDS
Sheng Siong Supermarket, Singapore
Reliably satisfies when I’m in the mood for Hershey’s + almonds.
12th LINDT LINDOR PISTACCHIO
Win Win Food Singapore Pte Ltd, Singapore
These milk chocolate truffles are smooth AF and interestingly enough, produced fairly close to the Ítalo-Swiss border.
13th CADBURY MINI EGGS
FairPrice Ghim Moh Link, Singapore
It’s a mini day to have a mini-sized treat from a mini box that could. 🤖
14th RITTER SPORT HONEY SALTED ALMONDS
Sheng Siong Supermarket, Singapore
So good for when you’re so hungry and it doesn’t hurt to throw in “honey roasted almonds and a touch of sea salt!”
16th LINDT LINDOR MILK CHOCOLATE BAR
Woolworths, Box Hill
Smooth filling encased in a milk chocolate shell, but in a convenient bar.
17th WHITTAKER'S FRESH ROASTED ALMOND GOLD MILK CHOCOLATE BAR
Woolworths South Melbourne, South Melbourne
Looked like I'd get a solid nugget of chocolate out of this. Great first thing to eat in the morning.
18th TWIX® BARS
Valu$, 2 JURONG EAST CENTRAL 1 # B1-09 SINGAPORE
Such an awesome combination of crunchy cookie, delicious caramel and creamy chocolate. Today’s perfect lunchtime booster. 😋
20th TOBLERONE DARK CHOCOLATE
CHOC SPOT, Singapore
My first time trying TOBLERONE in noir. Where has this been all my life???
21st TOBLERONE CRUNCHY ALMONDS
CHOC SPOT, Singapore
My first time straying from the original. Can’t go wrong with more almonds, let alone salted caramelized ones! 🙌
23rd DROSTE® ORANGE CRISP
CHOC SPOT, Singapore
Been a while, and it turns out I still love their milk chocolate pastilles with orange crisp! They’re better than a Terry chocolate orange.
24th FERRERO ROCHER®
CHOC SPOT, Singapore
“the golden experience.” Original’s the best.
25th PILLOW CHOCOLATE
Estancia Nibepo Aike, Santa Cruz Province
No better way to be reminded you’re on vacay...
26th CHOCOLATE SEMIAMARGO EN RAMA
Rapa Nui, San Carlos de Bariloche
We saw these bark chocolates in every chocolatier along calle Mitre and it made me wonder if their significance was attached to the arrayán trees in Villa La Angostura?
27th ROYCE’ PURE CHOCOLATE: VENEZUELA BITTER
BLUE SKY NRT 91, BLUE SKY NRT 91番ゲートショップ
As it’s name suggests, the Venezuela is bitter compared to the Ghana Sweet, but not over-the-top bitter, ya know what I mean?
PRETTY GOOD
28th LINDT SENSATION CRISPY CÉRÉALE GRILLÉE GOÚT POP-CORN LAIT
CS Fresh The Star Vista, Singapore
Got these to try for $3 during their Boxing Day sale. I like the popcorny toasted cereal filling but the chocolate isn’t exactly what I would call Lindt material 🤨
29th HADLEIGH MAID® 2 DARK CHOCOLATE SLOE GIN GANACHE TRUFFLE WALNUT WHIRLS
CS Fresh The Star Vista, Singapore
BRIEF: “Dark chocolate whirls with a Sloe Gin flavoured ganache truffle filling topped with Walnut halves.” SOOT’S TAKE: Got these for $2 on Boxing Day when they would have cost $9.95 the day before. Not bad for vegan-friendly chocolate but ain’t no way I would ever get 2 such truffles at full price. Not even Godiva charges that much.
30th TERRY’S CHOCOLATE ORANGE DARK
Jaya Grocer, Verve Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur
I don’t think I’ve had or seen a Terry’s Chocolate Orange since college so imagine my delight when I saw one here! Also had no idea the day I chose to open and snack on a memory (although it’s my first “🍊” in dark chocolate) would also be the day Brits celebrate this treat, so Happy Chocolate Orange Day!
