Ritter Sport Alpine Milk Chocolate review

Ritter Sport is now one of my top favorite brand.  The signature square bars gave it more personality.  "Alpenmilch" basically means "Alpine milk chocolate". The chocolate was made with 100% milk from Alpes.  Intriguing, isn't it?  
The texture of the chocolate is very smooth and silky.  It tastes very rich and creamy, which could be contributed by the quality milk and manufacturer's dedication.  It has very little after taste, but a rich aroma of the sweetness of the milk and cocoa.  



I give it an 8 out of 10.

Ritter Sport Dark Chocolate with Whole Hazelnuts review

Another review of Ritter Sport chocolate!  I know that you are all very excited about it...or maybe it is just me.  I have to say, Ritter Sport is now one of my top favorite chocolate company.  The dark chocolate is rich and creamy, but with a hint of subtle bitterness.  I personally do not prefer dark chocolates that are too bitter, so the balance of this particular product is perfect for me.  There are many large pieces of hazelnuts through out the chocolate square, so you get a crunch in every bite.  And I am loving every bite of it!!


I give it an 8 out of 10.

Loacker Dark Chocolate Quadratini review

Italians know how to do food right!

This is probably going to be my new favorite chocolate snacks.  Soft but crispy wafer layers with dark chocolate cream fillings in each layers...just typing is making my mouth watery....  One very appealing trait of this snack is that it is not overly sweet.  The dark chocolate is perfect, because the subtle bitterness is the perfect balance to the sweetness.  It is very easy to eat the whole bag in just one sitting...and I am still fighting the urge right now. 




I give it a 9.5 out of 10.

Talenti Double Dark Chocolate Gelato review


This is not really a new brand, but I just recently come in contact with it.  The product claimed to be authentic Italian ice cream, but I don't know how authentic it is when the company is based in Dallas, TX.  Either way, I tried the Double Dark Chocolate flavor, since I am a chocoholic(duh!).  The ice cream itself is very rich, and creamy.  It seems to have a lower air content than other ice cream, which is usually how gelato is.  Texture is very nice and smooth.  However, for a dark chocolate flavor, it is a bit too sweet.  The bitterness of the dark chocolate was very subtle, and almost none.  



I give it a 6 out of 10.

Trader Joe's Milk Chocolate Crisps review



One of the many delicious chocolate snacks from Trader Joe's.  The melted Belgium milk chocolate in the shape of potato chips, this snack is definitely unique.  I love milk chocolate, and you can't go wrong with Belgium chocolate (except maybe it's old...).  The chocolate "chips" is sprinkled with puffed and crispy rice, which added the crisp and crunchy texture.  Therefore the "chips" became "crisps".  A very unique idea, and a tasty textures combination.  The creamy and smooth milk chocolate with the crispy puffed rice, this snack is definitely worth trying.  




I give it a 7 out of 10.
