Chocolate review #1

Yay it's that time again! where i get to eat different flavored chocolates.
Chocolates were on sale in Kursk, go to the Hyperlinear in Sumskaya, however i warn you, that only certain items are on sale.. if you are not on a student budget go ahead, Russia really does offer you a variety of chocolates (unlike Malaysia, you could only see the famous ones like cadburry, tobelarone, kitkat and etc, which is kind of boring)

#1
Milk chocolate with hazelnut and berries.
Overall the taste was not too sweet and it still had a hint of bitterness after taste, however, the i could not really taste the hazelnut nor the berries, but it was there, in little chunky pieces.
i thoroughly enjoyed it and finished it in one sitting which was bad for my so called healthy diet.
the downside of this chocolate is that it was thin, it was a thin piece of chocolate bar.

#2
 Dark chocolate with a hint of star-anise and cinnamon
it was a little too dark for me, as i only tasted bitterness, it was not overwhelmingly sweet, but i think the sweetness came form the natural glucose form the chocolate themselves as i find to taste the sweetness as an aftertaste.
on the packaging you could see a picture of star-anise and cinnamon, but i doubt they put loads in, or maybe those herbs enhances the taste of chocolate but the individual flavors themselves don't actually become prominent? i guess it may be the reason (i am not a fan of star-anise or cinnamon)
the only reason i bought this chocolate, was that my BF really likes chocolate, especially dark ones, so we decided to give it a try.
He loves it but i don't, which is a plus for him cause he gets to eat the whole thing..

#3
this one was my favorite, as you can see it's form the Alpine Gold line (this brand offer you a lot of choices in terms of flavors, so far all the flavors i have tried, they have turned out to be really nice)
this flavor attracted my attention because it had salt flakes on their almond! if translated it does say salted and caramelized almonds. (i'm all in if the nuts are salted and caramelized)
the taste: it was sweet and salty, a very good combination in a chocolate bar, it was crunchy, it had loads of nuts in it which i really appreciated because you could really taste the almonds.
there was no horrible aftertaste to the chocolate which i was hoping so, since it was salted, i was not looking forward to having a salty mouth aftertaste.


that is all for today
