GODIVA CHOCOLATES – CHOCOBLOGMASS ADVENT CALENDAR
Let’s see now, how can it be that Day 21 is already here. Wow, time is flying, where does it really go? If I think about all the things that consume my days, I conclude that yes, it is full by the hour but yet, there is so much more to accomplish. The job(s) is/are never done. Once a task is crossed off my list, a new one is added. The circle of life! No complaints here though, life is a blessing after all. Every day I consider special! This is a much deeper topic that I would love to explore with you all but just not today. Perhaps I can dedicate a whole blog on this kind of mind-thinking. Moving on to the chocolate that Godiva has presented for us today. Firstly appearance, there is nothing that says “Wow." The choco has the shape of a box with white uneven lines running in all sorts of directions. The indefinite of the definite. It looks too messy and chaotic! Upon initial bite, it is tasteless meaning that for once, Godiva has added too little of a sweetener. How can that be, hmmmm... It is bland from all ends. The chocolate itself is of a cheap milk concoction that I would not even label as chocolate. There is a bit of creaminess to this chocolate however, this is not enough to justify some sort of positivity. Foul! 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: 1.3 / 5.0 ROGERS’ CHOCOLATES – CHOCOBLOGMASS ADVENT CALENDAR Green in colour, and a perfect little bon bon for Day 21 of the Advent Calendar Edition for Rogers’. "Life is exuberance" at Rogers’! Be happy! I love the consistency of their perfection! 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 What more can I say about Purdy’s, and their 21st Day of the Advent Calendar Edition except a thousand thumbs down! A bell wrapped in purple foil, how original (I am being sarcastic). As for the taste, let’s just say that I would rather hike the Grouse Grind five times over before I need to consume another one of these little chocos. Actually, what am I saying, I love the Grouse Grind hike, no! I meant to say that playing tennis for five hours is better than tasting this grossness, again, wait, what? I love to play tennis, okay, okay, you get the point. Let’s just say that the dentist is calling me before I must endure another one of these bells. Yikes, wait, then there is Day 22, 23, 24… Oh brother! Chocolisciously Delightful Ingredients: Unfortunately, the company did not disclose this information. I will always wonder why! Chocolisciously Delightful Rating: 1.6 / 5.0 LÄDERACH – CHOCOBLOGMASS ADVENT CALENDAR Nice job for Day 21 of the Swiss Chocolate maker! A hazelnut in the middle of the chocolate, and two more at adjacent sides, bonus! We all know Laderach's chocolates are delicious, scrumptious, and yes, I do want more, but are they nutritious? I thiiiiiiiink NOT! Go back to the basics Läderach, elimination is key, 90% of the ingredients! Where do I begin, perhaps the Gluten, Milk Egg White? Now I am in disgust, despite the yumminess. 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: 2.0 / 5.0 DANIEL CHOCOLATES - CHOCOBLOGMASS ADVENT CALENDAR Cheapness has hit Daniel Chocolates once again. We all got nothing for Day 21 of their Advent Calendar. I wonder why, have we been bad, not deserving? At least they seem to think so. Chocolisciously Delightful Ingredients: Sugar, Cocoa Mass, Cocoa Butter, Dry Whole Milk, Soya Lecithin (Emulsifier), Natural Vanilla Chocolisciously Delightful Rating: 0.0 / 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 Gorgeous looking chocolate in a light brown colour portraying a leaf is the chosen gift for Day 21 of the Sinfully the Best Advent Calendar Edition. It is flawless in appearance. I am truly impressed. As for the taste, caramel with nuttiness lingering thereafter. A medium in terms of sweetener, consistency, smell, melt, and smoothness. It is not overly great but yet, not overly poor. I am indecisive on this one, but will be fair with my rating below. Looking forward to Day 22! Chocolisciously Delightful Ingredients: Unknown Chocolisciously Delightful Rating: 2.5 / 5.0
