RUSSEL STOVER EASTER CHOCOLATES HUNT

RUSSEL STOVER COOKIES N CRÈME
 
The white chocolate intertwined with crushed cookies looks very appetizing in appearance, so much that I actually purchased this fake looking bunny. It is something different. I normally see the standard milk chocolate for purchase during Easter, perhaps tradition. Russel Stover has definitely gone out of their way to perform the unusual so they better have gotten this right. Nope, uh huh! It is all wrong. Upon first bite, the chocolate tastes very similar to the Oreos cookies, almost as though the idea was half-stolen. Hmm, something to tickle that brain of yours. The melt is satisfactory, and the leftover is a crunch, a whole lot of it. Watch out if you have dentures, this revolting chocolate is not for you. I am disgusted with the whole bunny, it is dreadful.
 
Would I repurchase, probably NEVER

RUSSEL STOVER MARSHMALLOW COVERED IN MILK CHOCOLATE
 
OHHHH, I am feeling my stomach turn. Revolting. This tastes artificial chocolate is of utmost poorest class, bitter, and overly toxically sweetened. Marshmallow is of stingiest quality; nobody wants to spend a buck in this company. To make matters worse, the whole chocolate is stale, and I mean “get this …… out of face” stale. Let’s call this “Uncultured” on so many levels. 
 
Would I repurchase again, NEVER

RUSSEL STOVER MILK CHOCOLATE 
 
Simplicity is key here. No marshmallows popping out of the ceiling, no caramel, no nuts, no seeds, no peanut butter, nothing, just plain old-fashioned chocolate. Even the ingredient list looks adequate. Melt is acceptable however, there is a bitter aftertaste. Something to work on for next year Russel.

RUSSEL STOVER PEANUT BUTTER COVERED IN MILK CHOCOLATE
 
Well, well, what do we have here, a copyright class action lawsuit, hmmm. Why Russel Stover, why, your chocolates tastes so similar to Reese, seriously. Who does not love peanut butter and chocolate, it really is a perfect combination. Russel Stover, you sure got this one right, or should I say Reese’s Pieces? Overall, great consistency, smooth and buttery, sweetened to perfection, and the peanut butter is the most prominent flavour within the chocolate.

RUSSEL STOVER CARAMEL COVERED IN MILK CHOCOLATE
 
I am pulling my hair out now, what, when, why? That is a whole lot of caramel to swallow, and sweet, and diabetic sweet, and sugary sweet, and glucose sweet, and corn syrupy sweet, and and and, okay, you get the point, YES, it is sweet. Melt action is smooth however, all that I can focus on is the rush of sugar flooding through my body. Yuck. I am then left longing for something to even out this shocking aftertaste. Black coffee anyone?

RUSSEL STOVER COCONUT CREAM EGG IN DARK CHOCOLATE
 
Surprisingly, this chocolate cream egg has a very prominent coconut flavour that starts out strong but phases out subtly as devoured. Melt is average, and I am left with coconut flakes, too many of them. Nevertheless, this chocolate is insanely sweet, wow, whoa, bonkers, nontense (yes, with a T). I am now gulping tea, lots of it to forget the traumatic experience I just had, he he he.
 
Would I repurchase again, NEVER

The packaging for this item ripped, and I was therefore not able to provide the ingredient list. I apologize.
 
Russel Stover has decided to showcase many of the flavours mentioned above in a smaller, egg version chocolate. Examples: Russel Stover Marshmallow Egg Covered in Milk Chocolate, Russel Stover Caramel Egg in Milk Chocolate, Russel Stover Marshmallow & Caramel Egg in Milk Chocolate, Russel Stover Marshmallow Bunny in Milk Chocolate
 
Thank you for being here

    My name is Soriah and I am an enormous lover of fine chocolates. I enjoy strolling through charming towns and by chance, finding a little, delightful chocolate gem hidden in the corner, offering bon bons that are ready to be just devoured. 

    TO MY CHOCOLATE CUTIES OUT THERE, PLEASE NOTE - I do not discriminate between $$$$$. No, seriously, expensive or budget-friendly, all that really matters to me is whether my taste buds are doing a little hola dance, or sitting in the corner, tearing up. Oh, I almost forgot, quality ingredients in the chocolate is a huge added bonus. That is another great importance that reflects my final rating.
