May 3, 2013 Green Mountain Chocolate Covered Potato Chips
One of my coworkers brought me in a box of these. I have to say that I don’t really crave potato chips, and usually when I have had chocolate covered ones, they are soggy. I was reluctant to try these, but man were they delicious. There is just something amazing about the sweet and salty […]

February 17, 2011 Hotel Chocolat
The cesar-delicate chocolate cup piped full of praline textured with caramelised nut pieces (3 chocolates per serving/ 237 calories per serving). I really liked this piece, smooth and creamy with added crunch from the hazelnuts- a really nice flavor. The H box. What’s inside. The brownie-our version of the classic bake: pecan paste, chocolate and […]

April 5, 2010 Beacon Hill Chocolates
How could you resist these truffles? Maybe you could when you see the $3.50 per piece price tag. As good as these were, I can’t make them a regular in my everyday life-so I resolve to have these only on special occasions. I bought a dozen of these for Easter at a friend’s house. Everyone […]

February 11, 2010 Phillip’s Candy House
So let me preface this post by saying that I don’t like boxed chocolate. You inevitably end up spending X amount of dollars for a box of chocolates and if you are lucky if you only hate 1/2 of them. But I took one for the team, or in this case the blog. Phillips is […]
