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.

Goodarts Peanut Patty

Goodarts peanut patties are a Texas tradition. You can find them at most convenience stores and gas stations. This one is similar to the Dickies peanut patty. The patty is a sweet mixture of corn syrup, sugar and peanuts. Yes its a little sweet but its delicious.

Grade: A- Calories 280 per patty.

Milka Milk Chocolate Confection Serving 2

Milka Milk Chocolate Confection

The Milka is a really milky chocolate. Very, very milky and with hints of hazelnut as well. Nice looking bar and very creamy in texture.

Grade: B- Too milky for me but what can you expect from a brand called Milka! Calories 230 per serving. 2.5 servings per bar.

Reese's Crispy Crunchy King Size Serving 2

Reese's Crispy Crunchy King Size

Reese's Crispy Crunchy King Size bar was released about two years ago but I still haven't ate one until now. This is a combination of milk chocolate, peanut butter, peanuts and peanut butter candy. This chocolate is sweet but not too strong. This is fakeolate as vegetable oils are present along with possibly cocoa butter. I did like the triple filling of different peanuts and light molasses taste. It was a Butterfinger with a candy crisp.

Grade: B+ Very good. Serving size 1/2 bar which has 230 calories.

Sifers Valomilk

A classic of the American West heard of but not eaten by most. My first Valomilk was at the end of last year in Wisconsin. The Valomilk is a chocolate cup resembling a Reese's with a flowing marshmallow center that oozes like lava after you take a bite. The marshmallow flow is full of vanilla sweet undertones... nice flavor and consistency. The chocolate on the other hand was not as good, not sweet or chocolaty enough.


Grade: A- (Excellent) The chocolate was not as good but the novelty makes up for it.

Mockolate Candy Bars

There is a great website that I have found called the CandyBlog (http://www.candyblog.net). This site makes my reviews look amateurish but the resolution quest goes on.

Apparently the latest thing with Hershey is to fight the rising price of chocolate by adding fake vegetable oils instead of real cocoa butter to chocolate bars until it doesn't meet the FDA definition of chocolate. Hershey even tried to change the FDA definition of chocolate. Real chocolate must contain cocoa solids and cocoa butter and no additional vegetable oils. Unfortunately the 5th Avenue Bar, Take 5, Hershey’s Kissables, Whatchamacallit and other Hershey bars don't have real milk chocolate as an ingredient just added chocolate. Milton Hershey must be very unhappy in the afterlife. Hershey is doing well financially and the stock price has gone up by 25%. Hope one day we get the Great American "Real" Chocolate company back. I am a Hershey fanatic! (I own stock as well)

I am going to label my chocolates now as real chocolate or fakealote from now on. The candyblog website and others use the term mockalote but I like fakealote much better.

Twix PB 4 to Go Bars Serving Two

Twix PB 4 to Go Bars

Logo: Chocolate cookie + Peanut better covered in milk chocolate
The PB is basically a Reece's peanut butter cup molded over a cookie covered with a thin layer of nicely sweetened chocolate. The peanut butter filling is about 90% as yummy as the Reese's but they clone it exactly. Its a little too sweet and not as peanuty. The chocolate cookie crunchy and lightly tastes of cocoa. I like the regular Twix cookie better.

Grade: B- (Not a bad bar but not one of my favorites) Servings 4 per package which is one bar. Calories 120 per bar.

Vande Walle's Caramel

A delicious bar of thick milky sweet caramel covered by a thin layer of milk chocolate. The chocolate is sweet tasting but has a darker chocolate aroma. The caramel is so thick it reminds me of the old marathon bar. Made in Appleton, Wisconsin by Vande Walle.

Logo: "Award Winning" Caramel Covered in Rich Milk Chocolate

Grade: A. (Large amount of great tasting caramel) Calories 230/bar.

Cadbury Heroes: Bournville

Bournville is a dark chocolate by Cadbury which is very flavorful. I am not sure what the cacao content is as there is not nutrtion information on the box but it must not be to high cause I liked it. The Bournville is also sweeter than most dark chocolates. Melts in your mouth slowly and a snaps in half nicely.

Grade: B

Cadbury Bournville Commercial.

Cadbury Heroes: Cadbury Twirl

Cadbury Twirl.

Thin milk chocolate overlying an aerated honeycomb chocolate middle. Resembles the Wispa. Funny texture as when you bite it you expect solidness but its open and crumbly. The taste is too milky with a weak chocolate flavor present.

Grade: D+ As much I like Cadbury this one gets a pass.

Cadbury Heroes: Cadbury Creme Egg Twisted

The Creme Egg Twisted is a little swirly chocolate. It has a nice chocolate aroma. The middle is a mixture of creme or fondant on one side and caramel on the other side. The white creme is very sweet but without much flavor while the yellowish side has a light taste to it...caramel maybe. Individually the flavors are just ok but the combination works


Grade:B

Cadbury Heroes: Eclairs

Cadbury Heroes: Eclairs
These are caramel bite size pieces with a chocolate center. The caramel is slightly hard at first but then melts in your mouth. Slightly sweet and milky in flavor. The inner chocolate is chewy and tastes of cocoa and milk. Not a bad combination they can become addicting even though I am not to crazy about the chocolate part.

Grade: B+

Cadbury Heroes: Dairy Milk Caramel

Cadbury Heroes: Dairy Milk Caramel
Just as good as the large bar. Smooth and chewy milky tasting caramel covered by perfectly sweetened milk chocolate. It oozes out of the little mini bar when you bite into it!

Grade: A

Cadbury Heroes: Cadbury Dairy Milk

The mini Dairy Milk has a nice chocolate aroma not too sweet or dark. The snap is a little harder than the larger bar. Very sweet and milky.

Grade B+. As good as the regular bar but better for my belly...unless I eat all the minis.

Cadbury Heroes: Cadbury Fudge

The Cadbury Heroes is a collection of seven individually wrapped Cadbury chocolates and toffees. I purchased the Heroes at World Market. This is my mission for the next seven days.

Cadbury Fudge. Small chocolate cover bar with whitish fudge on the inside. Typical Cadbury chocolate aroma on the outside but fudgelike on the inside. Slightly on the hard side and very sweet. Very milky and low on the chocolate intense flavor.


Grade: C. Very average. No calorie information given.

Hershey Mr. Goodbar

The Mr. Goodbar has been an iconic American chocolate bar since the 1920's but it has fallen on hard times. Unfortunately Hershey has messed with the recipe over the years in the interests of keeping the price down by decreasing the amount of chocolate till its not a chocolate bar. The chocolate and very peanuty aroma is still the same from my youth while the flavor is very salty and tastes of roasted peanuts which are crunchy. Its not bad tasting bar just not as chocolatey as before.

Grade: C. If only Hershey would come out with limited edition original recipe retro candy bars. 250 calories/bar.

Cadbury Curly Wurly 2nd go round

This is my second Curly Wurly of the year. Definitely one of my favorites from Cadbury. I would definitely give it an A for the scrumptious combination of caramel and chocolate. If they came out with a thicker version of this bar I would give it an A+

Reese's Whipps

The Whipp is a lightly covered peanut butter nougat covered in a thin layer of chocolate. The aroma smells faintly of chocolate but mostly consists of a sweet peanut butter. The texture is light and fluffy. You can definitely taste the peanut butter which is the layer under the chocolate. Overall a good tasting bar similar in texture to a 3 Musketeers bar. Overall a little too sweet and not enough chocolate flavor


Grade: B. 230 calories/bar.

King Size Snickers Almond Bar

A real chocolate line extension made by the Mars Corporation. This incarnation of the Snickers is made with almonds which should be healthier than the peanut variety. Unfortunately, I like the original better. The bar has a chocolate aroma but when bitten definitely becomes almond like. Large almonds mixed in with caramel overlie a nougat base. Decent bar with sweet nougat and milky caramel but the combo works better with peanuts.

Grade: B. 220 calories per serving. Two per package.
