Good Day Gorgeous,
Phew, we made it to day 5 and yes, I am already complaining. I am an unsatisfied chocolate blogger. Reason being, the Advent Calendars are truly disappointing, except for Loacker of course as I cannot say enough good things about their concoction. Cheaper does not necessarily mean inferior however, during this experience of mine, yes that is the case. I am disguised as to the lack of effort these companies have implemented into their chocolates. How can an establishment put out something that tastes this horrific. I would not even think about feeding these chocolates to my enemy, well, actually, maybe I would, but whatever, you get the point. Nevertheless, enjoy the ratings. xoxoxo Soriah Let the Race-To-Win Begin NO WHEY FOODS ADVENT CALENDAR - Day 5 Day 5 of No Whey Food’s Advent Calendar was a hard bite that I had to endure, literally speaking. I initially thought that this piece of bon bon was perhaps toffee. Wrong, wrong, and more wrong! This was just outright horrendous. The quality of the chocolate is of an all-time low. I get a sense of cacao that has been so processed, that in return, there might not even be much of that ingredient left. Perhaps a man-made cacao tasting bon bon of some kind. Yuck! Well, here is the rating, do not expect much, he he he!

No, I am not trying to funny, okay, maybe a little. However, the truth will prevail. Was there stinky feet involved in the making, were the employees intoxicated, are there illegal substances that I should be aware of? What went so wrong here, this chocolate literally tastes like complete garbage. Anyhow, enjoy the rating.

How could you not have put your enormous thinking caps on and come up with something different, is that not what an Advent Calendar is all about. If I was a child for example, I would feel cheated with having duplicates and think it is my fault somehow. See where I am going with this, PTSD - the aftermath of Advent Calendars, he he he! Well, well, this topic is for another day, where discussions of heavier topics are all welcomed. In the meantime, enjoy the post.

Affordable but still SavoryThis blog page is dedicated to inexpensive chocolates that are continuously, to this day, enjoyed daily by many chocolate lovers out there. I still happily delve my taste buds into a good old-fashioned, so tasty, and yet simple Mr. Goodbar. To top it off, the cost allows for a much "Sweeter" satisfaction on your fuller wallet! Archives
