Reese's Dark

The Reese's Dark has the same peanut butter nougat in the middle with a dark chocolate cup on the outside. The dark chocolate has a bitter aroma and has a dark bitter taste when bitten. However once you get into the peanut butter the sweetness balances the bitter chocolate. Nice way to disguise dark chocolate.

Grade: B-
Calories: 210 per serving which is two cups.

Cadbury Flake

Yes this is the flakiest milk chocolate bar on the market and probably since it was created in the 1920's. The chocolate taste is similar to regular Cadbury milk chocolate but a little more milky in taste. The Flake is so crumbly that pieces are everywhere. Nice rich milk chocolate aroma.

Grade: B Real milk chocolate...aerated style.
Calories: 170/bar

Nestle Baby Ruth

The Baby Ruth is an American classic containing fakeolate, peanuts, milky caramel and nougat. The packaging claims 4g of protein per serving. I must admit the fakeolate has a nice cocoa smell to it and tastes good surrounding the yummy interior. The mixture of caramel and chewy nougats is heavenly and then you add peanuts. Very chewy fresh bar. Still tastes like the Baby Ruth of old!

Grade: A-
Calories: 280/bar. Yikes!

MIlka White Chocolate Confection

The White Chocolate Milka is a creamy white bar scored into small squares. Its good for a white chocolate bar except its too sweet. Plus like all the Milka bars the milk taste is overwhelming...not to mention the milky aroma. Not quite as good as the white chocolate Cadbury buttons. Still my favorite Milka to date!

Grade: B Calories 230 per serving. 2.5 servings per bar.

Vande Walles Peanut Butter Meltaway

The Meltaway is another local product from Appleton Wisconsin. The bar is very similar to the caramel bar I reviewed earlier. It has a sweet chocolate aroma. The interior of the bar appears almost like solid chocolate but tastes like sweet peanut butter.

Grade: B. A little too sweet for me. The caramel from Vande Walles is still my favorite.

Kraft Toberlone


The classic Swiss chocolate bar its description is Swiss Milk Chocolate with Honey and Almond Nougat. The shape is classic resembling the concrete pillars set up by the Nazi on the coast of France to prevent tanks and vehicles from landing on the shore. Nice sweet chocolate aroma. Very creamy tasting with a light almond taste and hints of honey. A little too sweet

Grade: A- (Excellent). Calories 260 per bar. The Toberlone fondue made with cream is even better.
