Once again to all my enchanting Choco lovebugs, Day 18 of the Advent Calendar Edition will be done in a briefer manner. I have noticed that all of you chocolate lovelies do enjoy the shorter versions of my Choco blog quite a bit but unfortunately, I must admit, that I love the longer posts!!! You are stuck with me and my endless writing now. Having said that, let the hardship, suffering, difficulty, struggle, exertion, sweat, harsh critique, okay, okay, you get the point now! He He He He He. No explanations here, just straightforwardness. I hope that you enjoy it. Let the Choco games begin!
GODIVA CHOCOLATES – CHOCOBLOGMASS ADVENT CALENDAR Beautifully carved bon bon of what looks like all sorts of shapes, it just depends on which angle the chocolate is turned, be creative. Godiva has given us quite a large sized chocolate for day 18. Hmmm, are they being more generous as we are getting closer to Christmas? Yes Godiva, you only have a few days left to reinstate yourself, and leave some positivity behind. Godiva is going in the right direction though, finally. Once I took a bite from this choco, I was pleasantly surprised to taste a creamy middle filling, just bursting out to be seen by the world. Could it perhaps be caramel? It is special in the way that I was completely surprised. On the flip-side, this chocolate is insanely sweet. What as shame! You half-ruined a good thing Godiva. See you tomorrow! Boooo hoooo! Chocolisciously Delightful Ingredients: Sugar, Unsweetened Chocolate, Milk Powder, Cocoa Butter, Glucose Syrup (Wheat), Cream, Hazelnuts, Sorbitol Syrup, Butter Oil (Milk), Sweetened Condensed Milk, Invert Sugar Syrup, Milk, Butter, Water, Vegetable Oil (Palm Kernel Palm), Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Palm Kernel), Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin), Skim Milk Powder, Natural Flavour, Apple, Raspberries, Wheat Flour, Cocoa Powder, Passion Fruit Juice Concentrate, Salt, Corn Starch, Cinnamon, Malic Acid, Milk Protein, Lactose, Barley Malt Flour, Artificial Flavour, Pectin, Citric Acid Chocolisciously Delightful Rating: 3.7 / 5.0 ROGERS’ CHOCOLATES – CHOCOBLOGMASS ADVENT CALENDAR Once again, a perfect piece of Choco is presented to us for Day 18 of the Rogers’ Advent Calendar Edition. They just keep the ball rolling, and produce utmost excellence every time. I also very much appreciate their consistency as well. That is a difficult thing to maneuver. Nice and nice again Rogers’. You are my superman! Chocolisciously Delightful Ingredients: Milk Chocolate (Sugar, Milk, Cocoa Butter, Chocolate Liquor, Soya Lecithin, Vanilla) Chocolisciously Delightful Rating: 4.9 / 5.0 PURDY’S CHOCOLATIER – CHOCOBLOGMASS ADVENT CALENDAR You are certainly a little delight today Purdy’s, well actually, let’s clarify; THIS is in terms of looks and appeal, nothing further. I am in a Christmasssssssssy mood, and ever so much by looking at this tiny snowman wearing the cutest red scarf. Oh, you are my kind of little love. Do you taste as good as you look? Hmmm, let’s find out together now, shall we??? Welllllllll, regrettably, not! Unbelievably bad chocolate quality, and to top it off, a sugar, glucose, sweetener bomb! Waste in wrapping when you are lackin’! Chocolisciously Delightful Ingredients: Unfortunately, the company did not disclose this information. I will always wonder why! Chocolisciously Delightful Rating: 2/6 / 5.0 LÄDERACH – CHOCOBLOGMASS ADVENT CALENDAR Star shine so bright, star I love you so tonight! Milk Chocodelight with a crunch. Bonkers! Sooo incredibly delicious! I love Läderach’s enthusiasm and care that they provide for their chocolates. Well, actually stop now, REMINDER, ingredients are disgustingly terrible! Therefore, the answer is no, they do not provide the utmost care, and it is a bit shocking that they would allow children to consume these ingredients. Taste is impeccable, but what about the ingredients? We shall wait and see what 2017 will deliver. Patience is virtue! Chocolisciously Delightful Ingredients: Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Skim Milk Powder, Hazelnuts, Cocoa Mass, Almonds, Plant Oils, Palm Kernel Oil, Sunflower Oil, Coconut Oil, Milk Powder, Butter (Milk), Glucose, E-420, Walnuts, Honey, Wheat, Gluten, Milk Cream, Inverted Sugar, Malt, Gluten, Soya Lecithin, E-471, E-322, Natural Aromas, Gluten, Butter Fat, Natural Aromas, E-904, Aroma, Lactose, Spices, Milk Egg White, E-500, Antioxidants, E-306, Colour E-171 AND E-160B AND E-160 A, E-120, E-100, Palm Wax, Cocoa Powder, Low Fat Chocolisciously Delightful Rating: 3.9 / 5.0 DANIEL CHOCOLATES - CHOCOBLOGMASS ADVENT CALENDAR Mini, mini, mini, mini, mini, and the list of mini’s goes on and on. Generous, Giving, Plentiful, Lavish, are all words that I would describe Daniel’s Chocolates with. I still cannot believe that we are at Day 18 of the Advent Calendar Edition, and the amount of choco given to us daily by Daniel’s can really make at least 4 larger chocolate bars. Money well spent! Finally! As for the taste, I am still on the same page as yesterday, and five days ago, ten days ago, and so on. SUGAR, SUGAR, AND MORE SUGAR! Chocolisciously Delightful Ingredients: Sugar, Cocoa Mass, Cocoa Butter, Dry Whole Milk, Soya Lecithin (Emulsifier), Natural Vanilla Chocolisciously Delightful Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 KINDER - CHOCOBLOGMASS ADVENT CALENDAR Since I do not want to reiterate myself, here is a link to Kinder’s unfortunate conclusion of their Advent Calendar! Until next year Kinder, make a change to your chocolates by incorporating a variety. Children just love surprises! http://www.chocolisciouslydelightful.com/budget-friendly-and-organic-budget-friendly-chocolates/chocoblogmass-advent-calendar-edition-december-2-or-day-2 LINDT - CHOCOBLOGMASS ADVENT CALENDAR Unfortunately, regrettably, sadly, sorry to say that Lindt did not make it any further in this Advent Calendar Edition Competition. Well actually, it should have been the end for them long ago, but I gave Lindt the benefit of the doubt. Despite my benevolence, their daily bon bons were outright stale and rancid. I was hopeful that there would come a day, any day for that matter where I would happily find a Choco that did not make me ill. That day never came. Here is the link to the occurrence that finally led me to say goodbye. www.chocolisciouslydelightful.com/high-end-and-organic-high-end-chocolates/chocoblogmass-advent-calendar-edition-december-17-or-day-17 Chocolisciously Delightful Ingredients: Sugar, Milk Ingredients, Cocoa Butter, Cocoa Mass, Lactose, Coconut Oil, Hazelnuts, Palm Kernel Oil, Soya Lecithin, Barley Malt Extract, Artificial Flavour Chocolisciously Delightful Rating: 0.0 / 5.0 SINFULLY THE BEST - CHOCOBLOGMASS ADVENT CALENDAR Pretzel dunked in milk chocolate with lighter Choco lines running across is our theme for Day 18 of the Advent Calendar at Sinfully The Best. It is looking quite pretty here, and sooo twisted. I would not have thought that is possible to deliver something as such due to the size but surprise! They pulled it off! As for the taste, it is a great balance in all directions. The crunch is a nice wonder since it is unexpected. Yes, you would know that it is coming but still a positive shocker. Overall, a safe bite! Chocolisciously Delightful Ingredients: Unknown Chocolisciously Delightful Rating: 3.7 / 5.0

Until next year Kinder, make a change to your chocolates by incorporating a variety. Children just love surprises! http://www.chocolisciouslydelightful.com/budget-friendly-and-organic-budget-friendly-chocolates/chocoblogmass-advent-calendar-edition-december-2-or-day-2 LINDT - CHOCOBLOGMASS ADVENT CALENDAR Okay, here it goes, I will finally spill the beans as to how the whole shebang experience went down. I was having a fabulous day last Saturday, getting my little to-do list done such as shopping at one of my favourite organic markets, stopping for coffee at Starbucks, making it to Banana Republic for a little peak at all of their goodies, and finally, I ended up at the Lindt Boutique. Surprise, well not really! It was somewhat busy, but not enough that I would have needed to wait until someone approached me with my concern. I was right. Immediately, a girl offered me a sample, the same, and only, the one kind that they always do. I have asked them in the past as to why they do not give tasters of their other bon bons; well, these are apparently the “most affordable.” Lindt is doing business after all. Anyhow, back to my attempted return. The girl could not help me but instead, asked the manger to step in. Here was this mid-aged woman, lurking at me with an evil grin, walking slowly towards me, but in the most unusually nervous way, actually quite a bit as her hands were in extreme shaking mode. Perhaps too much chocolate or…..... let’s not even go there, for the sake of respect. I told her specifically what the issue was with this Advent Calendar, and the fact that it was not only rancid and stale, but perhaps it was last year’s chocolates stamped and sold for this year’s Christmas. She assured me numerous of times that this was not the case but I was, and still am not convinced. She tried to open some of the day Advent Calendar pockets in order to reveal the treat of the day, as well as to count how many chocolates were consumed. However, her hands were shaking so much that she was successful with only a few windows, and just gave up for the rest. At that point, another girl asked me if I had purchased this Advent Calendar more than 30 days ago. I was completely honest and told her that yes, I did buy it when Lindt first received its Christmas collection for this year, which was OVER 30 days ago. I literally was one of the first people to take it home as I was really excited to test. Little did I know! That said, they both told me that they would not return the Advent Calendar, not even exchange it. This was the response that I received for the opened and unopened box. I originally purchased two therefore, one was brand new. I could not believe what I was hearing. This is the Lindt Boutique everyone where customer service I thought was, and should be of utmost superiority. Was I ever wrong! These employees actually made me feel as though I had committed a crime. Wow, what a disappointment. I then told them that I am leaving both Advent Calendars on their counter, the opened and unopened box. I then just “stormed” out. Shame on Lindt for this negative scene. Imagine if a child walked into the Lindt Boutique to return one of the Advent Calendars, purchased with money that they saved up for months on their own only to be refused. My heart goes out! Terrible experience that I do not wish it upon anyone. Well, this is unfortunately the end of the road for Lindt. From here forward, they will be completely omitted from this Advent Calendar competition, and perhaps even scarred for life. "All you had to do was make the customer happy Lindt!" Without customers, you have no Lindt!

Ohhh, shuckalidadooo! For Day 12 of the Advent Calendar Edition. Godiva presents us with the exact same bon bon as ten days back. The only modification being is that the choice of Choco is dark instead of milk. All else is equivalent. Despite this, I must admit that the Choco still looks very pretty with its chocolate shavings on top. Actually, it is more than just pretty. The bon bon is still shining bright. Fortunately for Godiva, my boredom has not yet kicked in with this piece. It is true what they say about classics, they never lose their style. At least Godiva has one single piece of bon bon that is securing its stance within the “timeless” zone. Great work! As for the taste, comparable to yesterday’s, and ten days back, sweeeeeettttttt and sugared, and more sweeeeeeetttt, but since this is a dark chocolate concoction, nothing is overpowering. The balance is managed. Horrayyy! As for texture, the bon bon is too solid to the point where consuming one is plenty too much. The whole Choco is quite heavy, not in terms of weight but more so on whether “you can stuff yourself with more than two” type of a thing. In this case, the answer is absolutely not! One choco is a meal replacement on its own. I can see this being a good snack when you are stuck on mountain, waiting for help, firing up an SOS sign, and in dire need of calories which equals energy. See, I knew that I would find a way to indulge in these chocolates without the guilt. Now I need to get lost on a mountain! Gotta Go!

Luscious green foil paper engulfing a milk chocolate bon bon is the sensation for Day 12 at Rogers’. It is looking mighty good here today where the party never ends. Rogers’ is a festive animal. You did it again mate! Chocolisciously Delightful Ingredients: Milk Chocolate (Sugar, Milk, Cocoa Butter, Chocolate Liquor, Soya Lecithin, Vanilla) Chocolisciously Delightful Rating: 4.9 / 5.0 PURDY’S CHOCOLATIER – CHOCOBLOGMASS ADVENT CALENDAR Purdy’s is having visions, hallucinations, prophecies as Day 12 of their Advent Calendar Edition is equivalent to Day 3, and Day 7. What are the coincidences? “You thought that I would not notice but I caught you Purdy’s!” In fact, Day 3 is identical. I do not understand how these Chocolate Companies can run out of ideas so quickly, or lack of imagination. You can mold, melt, and carve chocolate in a million ways, why the replicas? This is not an ancient historic coin or a statue of some sort. It is not that special that it would need to be seen again! Stop! Taste wise for this milk chocolate is meagre. “Spare me the details as to why Purdy’s, just know that this is a complete disappointment.” I am not even going to define it today. I just need a breather in the “Tomato Corner.” I am now gathering my thoughts and telling myself to “Be kind Soriah!” Chocolisciously Delightful Ingredients: Unfortunately, the company did not disclose this information. I will always wonder why! Chocolisciously Delightful Rating: 1.9 / 5.0 (Purdy’s attempts to fool you with their cutesy little wrapping foil. Well, you ain’t fooling me!) LÄDERACH – CHOCOBLOGMASS ADVENT CALENDAR A milk chocolate in the shape of an hexagon with parallel lines running across is the gift of choice for Day 12 of Läderach’s Advent Calendar Edition. Looks mighty proud, and quite hefty. The height is substantial for a bon bon of such caliber. I feel like this is the Titanic for Chocolates except that this Choco floats. As for the taste, I am not impressed. Läderach is having a bad “Bon Bon Day.” Actually, a terribly unfortunate day. This ineffective creation is composed of a caramel filling inside the milk chocolate. For some inexpiable reason, whenever Lädearch groups too many ingredients in one bon bon, the combinations never seem to work. That is exactly what we have going on here, too many ingredients that are completely unbalanced. Also, the caramel tastes at though it has been “CHARBROILED.” A little over-cooking or perhaps someone at the headquarters in Glarus, Switzerland forgot to stir. I do not know what went so wrong, and I cannot make any excuses for their revolting creation of the day. My conclusion is that even though striving for perfection is at an utmost wish for everyone, there are times, and days when that seems too far and out of reach. In those instances, to give up and produce something mediocre just to “get it done” is the fine line between success and failure. Perseverance, and endless attempts by trial and error until triumph is reached makes you the front-runner. That goes for whatever you are doing in life. Läderach, wake up!

Wait a second, that was just yesterday! Gutsy my friend, extremely gutsy! These remarks are actually not meant to be negative or sarcastic in any way. I am happy, and definitely not ready to let go of these little chocolate carved penguins, and am so fortunate to see them again. I must make a secretive confession, they make my heart flutter. I am blushing! All three are little champions. “Great job at putting up the star on the Christmas Tree.” I would love to join them at their gathering as it looks like a whole lot of fun. Taste has not changed from one day to the other but if you must know the reality of it, please read Day 11. I will exit on an upbeat note.

Lindt Boutique is waiting with open arms. Trust me when I say that Day 12 is most likely just as rancid as all others. I cannot affirm to this 100% today since the Advent Calendar is not in my possession for testing but it is a prediction. I am a mind reader, he he he! Let’s just, for the sake of easiness say hmmmm, disguising!!!

I am utterly in love with the bright colour as it screams everything, and more. Happy, joyful, cheerful are a few words that come to mind. I am in a festive, and on the same note “time for the beach” type of a mood. What else would this colour infuse except sunshine, sand, and sea. Three S’s cannot make a wrong! Okay, we are all in agreement that the appeal is a delight, but what about the flavour? Can we not just leave it on that positive note? Do we really have to go into the taste? I was almost going to let them have a free home run today since I am in a cheery mood but that would make all of the other Advent Calendar reviews unfair, partial, and biased. That is not me. This blog is about pure honesty of chocolates, there is no under-the-table type of a thing here. My audience needs to know truthfulness, and awareness in regards to everything chocolate has to offer, most especially the ingredients. Even that seems to be a failure with many companies. Anyhow, what was I talking about, oh yes, taste! Here we go: shortbread cookie is once again as its predecessor, a total fail. Such heaviness, too much sweetness, intensely solid which defeats the whole purpose of a shortbread cookie, and the broken off crumbs taste undercooked. That is a big no-no in cooking, or baking, and even the chocolate world. Come on now, did nobody do a taster pleaser at Sinfully The Best prior to packaging this? Common sense would have been crucial at this very moment, but on a positive notion, tomorrow is a new day!

A very, VERY, familiar dark chocolate bon bon with milk chocolate shavings is the selection for Day 11 of Godiva’s Advent Calendar Edition. I know that I have seen this somewhere before, perhaps a reminiscent or sentimental feeling. Hmmmm, nah! Yes, this was Godiva’s Day 2 bon bon, and the repetition continues. At least Godiva thought about leaving some days in between the resemblances so that children or adults will forget about what was their actual surprise 8 days back. Nobody will remember unless somebody is documenting these chocolates daily, somebody who is gutsy enough to honestly report, somebody like ME! I do the work, you sit back, and devour! This looks like an elegantly gorgeous bon bon that I could see being served at an upscale Christmas get-together, or any party for that matter. I adore the shavings on top, sprinkled ever so lightly to give it some “flash.” As for taste, here we go again, time to rip this bon bon apart. Consistency is regrettably absent. Unevenness from one bite to the next, and not in a good “surprise me” kind of a way. To top it off, the chocolate itself alongside the caramel is unhappily a sugar rock, meaning not only just overly sweetened to the point where my teeth hurt, but also too hard for a comfortable bite. This just looks pretty. Perhaps that is what this bon bon needs to be perceived as, a pretty face with no personality! Chocolisciously Delightful Ingredients: Sugar, Unsweetened Chocolate, Milk Powder, Cocoa Butter, Glucose Syrup (Wheat), Cream, Hazelnuts, Sorbitol Syrup, Butter Oil (Milk), Sweetened Condensed Milk, Invert Sugar Syrup, Milk, Butter, Water, Vegetable Oil (Palm Kernel Palm), Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (Palm Kernel), Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin), Skim Milk Powder, Natural Flavour, Apple, Raspberries, Wheat Flour, Cocoa Powder, Passion Fruit Juice Concentrate, Salt, Corn Starch, Cinnamon, Malic Acid, Milk Protein, Lactose, Barley Malt Flour, Artificial Flavour, Pectin, Citric Acid Chocolisciously Delightful Rating: 2.4 / 5.0 (some points for beautifulness, lucky you Godiva) ROGERS’ CHOCOLATES – CHOCOBLOGMASS ADVENT CALENDAR A silver wrapped, rectangular milk chocolate bon bon is the blissful delight for Day 11 at Rogers’. Uncomplicated, and I think that Rogers’ appreciates minimalism without compromising on taste. Superb once again. Rogers’ makes me want to dance! Chocolisciously Delightful Ingredients: Milk Chocolate (Sugar, Milk, Cocoa Butter, Chocolate Liquor, Soya Lecithin, Vanilla) Chocolisciously Delightful Rating: 4.9 / 5.0 PURDY’S CHOCOLATIER – CHOCOBLOGMASS ADVENT CALENDAR Okay, I cannot believe this, are you all sitting down? Embrace yourselves! Purdy’s has changed its theme for Day 11 of their Advent Calendar Edition. I whistled, and they heard! Horrrrayyyyyy Purdy’s. No Bell in sight! Instead, an adorable Santa Claus themed foil is presented to us. Choice for Choco is milk chocolate. Pheeewwww, phewwww, I was starting to get apprehensive for Purdy’s, the humility would have just continued to the ground. The Purdy's factory collaborated, put their thinking caps on, scribbled, and at last, redeemed themselves a bit today with this imperative change. When I say a bit, it is because I have not yet tested their Choco. Halfway improvements though are better than none. Optimism is my middle name. Let’s devour and rate! Ohhhhh boy, not good........at all! Why does Purdy’s always exit the party on a bad note? This chocolate is terrible, and intensely terrifying. Okay, there are too many negative words in that one sentence but I would just like to emphasize that the Choco should not taste this poorly, especially for an overpriced company like Purdy’s. I am still lost as to how they manage to make this as unpleasant as it is. It is as though Purdy’s wanted to see how bad they can make the chocolate before people stop buying it. Perhaps it was deliberate, hmmm, got you thinking! I have no words. I recommend to you all to personally do your own Purdy’s tasting. Thereafter, please leave a comment in the comment box below with an honest opinion. Taste a whole range in the process, variety is key just so that you get the idea. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Chocolisciously Delightful Ingredients: Unfortunately, the company did not disclose this information. I will always wonder why! Chocolisciously Delightful Rating: 1.7 / 5.0 (points deducted obviously due to the lack of ingredient list and lastly, the very obvious…..) LÄDERACH – CHOCOBLOGMASS ADVENT CALENDAR It looks like a milk chocolate cremefest at Läderach for Day 11 of the Advent Calendar Edition. The bon bon is circular in shape, with a lighter chocolate on top, spread in the form of a flower. It does not look like an extravagant piece of bon bon, not in the slightest bit. Perhaps it is a cover-up, a Choco conspiracy of some sort. Let’s go ahead, and taste since the need to find out now is exciting. Oh, my luscious, It is Happy Times here at Soriah’s Chocoland. Do not let looks fool you. This is one exotic, and scrumptious piece of tasteful wonderfulness. I am high up in the sky on Choco. I can see the starts, and moon! Creaminess, smoothness, sweetness with a nut crunch in the middle = impeccable. Need I say more!

The wrapping paper illustrates three little penguins ranging in size from largest to smallest, making great attempts to put up a star on top of a Christmas tree. I cannot stress enough how adorable this picture is, as weak as the mini, mini sized bar; these two were seriously meant to be together, “hand in hand.” Any child/adult, would appreciate this, and perhaps be extra helpful and polite towards their parents on Day 11. Seriously, that is the positive effect that this petite delight will have on everyone, even the biggest “stuffy”. As for the chocolate itself, well, improvements can and should be on Daniel’s priority to-do-list. Perhaps 2017 will bring about some obvious changes, most especially in regards to the sweetness of their chocolates. Trust me on this one!

Such an endearing charm this bon bon possesses that it is almost too much of a sweet appeal to eat. “Cake Wars competition for 2017,” is what this carver must do. Whoever you are, the talent is obviously there. All you need to do now is sign up. Make Steveston proud! This little cuddles is a dark chocolate concoction which astonishingly tastes quite right. Here it goes: Sweet rating = balanced, Smoothness = soft enough to melt but hard enough to sustain its shape, Aftertaste = bitter but on a positive note, hey it is dark Choco after all. Such a good job for Sinfully The Best today, you make me proud!

Milk Chocolate bon bon with an engraving of a woman “possessing” long and luscious hair locks, riding a horse is “The Price is right” winner for Day 10 of this Advent Calendar Edition. Yes, it is metaphorical but I love it! Can you believe that it has been this long now (10 days) for daily indulging in chocolate tasting??? Wow, time is just surpassing my every thought, move, and of course, chocolate consumption. I just cannot keep up. Okay, back to business here. This Choco bon bon I have seen before, hmmmmm, perhaps on a day in the beginning of this Advent Calendar competition? Double Hmmmm. I do not know why duplicating days is even taking place. Why are we having this discussion? Is Godiva not artistic enough to change something on this Choco, anything? Regardless, let’s move on, and be positive, taste time! Yes, it is creamy, but not enough to please my palate. Yes, it is smooth, but not enough to make me jump in horrrays, and of course, Yes, it is sweetened to the extreme, enough to make me want to say “hideous.” Really, that is a perfect description. Godiva has chosen its own dreadful path here. This ya'all is an outright Choco Crime!

It is wrapped in elegant dark green foil that shines, and sparkles ever so much to make any individual utterly happy. As for taste, well, it is perfectly complete. “You Rogers’, make me feel whole.” Nice, and keep reaching for the stars!

A ridiculous Bell in milk chocolate is the stupendous idea that Purdy’s had, again, did I say again, for Day 10 of their Advent Calendar. How despicable!!! Shame on you Purdy’s since you not only have poor quality in chocolate, but also a need to repeat your themes. Kill it all with one stone! Not a smart move!

Chocolisciously Delightful Rating: 1.3 / 5.0 LÄDERACH – CHOCOBLOGMASS ADVENT CALENDAR A milk chocolate cluster with slices of almonds is the choice for Day 10 of Läderach’s Advent Calendar Edition. This bon bon looks incredibly appealing, on the smaller side though, but I am still quite curious as to the taste! Here it goes; ohhhhhh my ondles, woof woof, meow, meow, eeeeeehhhhhaaaaa! Amazing! So pretty! So handsome! So, will you marry me??? I think that you get it now, I can stop proposing to Choco, although it is everything that a girl could ever dream of. Läderach most certainly knows their chocolates, as whatever bon bon they touch turns to gold. I adore the nutty crunch mixed with the chocolate which entails sweetened perfection. Let’s just enjoy this indulging moment in silence, but at the same time, forgive them for their hideous ingredients, BUT never forget!

The green Christmas tree theme is back! I will have to be benevolent on this one, and let it go as it is the season! As for the taste, well, improvements are in immediate and desperate need. Nothing major, well actually yes, the sugar content. Keep it DOWN in the name of Choco. It is insulting. Nothing else is important at this point if this fundamental issue is not fixed.

Dark Chocolate bon bon with white chocolate embellishment going across the Choco is today’s theme of Godiva’s Advent Calendar for Day 9. It looks like a dull, and ordinary piece of chocolate, even with the so called artsy work. I would not even give it a second thought.

Booooohooooo!. What is up with this Bell theme, come on now, this is getting pathetic. To top it off, this must be one of the worst chocolates I have tasted so far in this Advent Calendar Edition Competition as it ticks all the negative checkpoints. There is an ingredient of some sort that not only looks nauseating but tastes grainy. Perhaps Purdy’s spent a day at the beach and thought, “Why not add some sand?”. Well, it is free after all. On a positive note, the baby blue foil is gorgeous, and promotes happiness but this does not make up for what is coming next. The taste, absolutely sickening, let’s not even go there for today!
