Chocolate Reviews

Milk Chocolate Coins

Wrapped in golden foil, this Hanukkah specialty is the wealth we all wish we had. The golden coin is a chocolate that excels in display while still delivering a quality taste. When you eat them, the treat melts right in your mouth with a prominent creamy milk chocolate taste. However, its lack of multiple flavors restricts it to 8.5 out of 10.

Godiva Milk Chocolate Truffles

This premium chocolate is a great gift for the holiday season. Both rich in flavor and with a slightly soft texture, the candy hits just the right spot. The taste has a creamy flavor and the inner filling will instantly make your mouth water. This superior taste makes this delicacy the most perfect Christmas gift. So I would rate this Belgian chocolate a 10 out of 10.

Hershey’s Cookies and Cream

A popular candy with a wide variety of sizes ranging from king-sized to mini bars, Hershey’s chocolates have grown increasingly popular throughout their 125 years of existence, appearing in everything from Halloween baskets to holiday parties. With many flavors and varieties like cookies and cream, almonds and dark chocolate, Hershey’s excel in pleasing the taste buds. Specifically for cookies and cream, the bar incorporates an almost-identical taste to Oreos. The miniature balls inside deliver a crunchy bite while tasting remarkable. It is a different yet delicious taste compared to traditional chocolates that will never cease to bore you. Overall, Hershey’s is a 10 out of 10.

Lindt Lindor

Lindor is a chocolate that tastes just like it sounds: fancy, elegant and smooth. This treat consists of a firm outer shell with an inner chocolate filling that truly is amazing; it’s both soft and delicious as the creamy inside blends with the outer shell, leaving you wanting more. Lindor truly outperforms the competition in terms of taste and is a great gift for the holiday season. Therefore, I would rate this chocolate 9 out of 10.

Ghirardelli Chocolate Milk Squares with Caramel Filling

Ghiradelli is one of the longest-lasting American chocolate companies. Over this time, they developed a vast number of options, including the caramel-filled chocolate squares. While the square is harder to bite, the caramel within is a gooey heap of deliciousness. However, the caramel slightly overpowers the actual chocolate, so I wouldn’t recommend this for someone who is seeking pure chocolate. It’s more suited for someone that is flexible on their holiday treats, and for those reasons, Ghirardelli chocolate is an 8 out of 10.
