NEW- Lindt Petits Dessert & 70% bars!

Here are 3 amazing bars from Lindt, the Truffle Cake, 70% Dark Chocolate Mousse and Hazelnut Milk Chocolate Mousse. They are all incredible of course and the packaging really sells them well- no one does it quite as beautiful as Lindt! My favorite is the Hazelnut Mousse because of how light and fluffy it is- really melts on your tongue :) Both other bars are much heavier but still delicious.

NEW- Nascar, Transformers & Breast Cancer M&Ms packaging!

Here are some of the latest M&M bags to come out with different themes- Official Candy of Nascar, the Transformers movie, and in support of Breast Cancer research. They are always onto something new and I am always there to show you the different bags....love it!

Publix amazing Chocolate Obsession cake- just look at it!

Pictures say 1000 words here- this incredible decadant cake can be found for about $20 at Publix grocery store bakery counters. Its so gorgeous they even made a TV commercial for it! Inside is just as amazing- layers of rich choc cake with light fluffy frosting and all covered in that rich dark choc shiny ganache- its any chocophiles dream come true! Thanx Publix, worth every penny.

Holiday M&Ms- Valentine's Day & Winter holidays!!

Just gotta love all the variety of packaging for the holiday bags of M&Ms- the worlds greatest choco candy spares no expense in decorating their delightful bags, with large store chains (Target, Walmart) selling different versions of the same flavors. Here I put them all together so you can see the differences- oh & these are only about half the collection I have from many years! I LOVE it- the more the merrier! Enjoy....

NEW- 3 Musketeers Dark Choc Cherry and Truffle Crisp!!

These are 2 new versions of one of my favs- 3 Musketeers. The Cherry I think is only for Valentines day holiday candy, but hopefully longer- these are fabulous! Mellow fluffy cherry inside covered in a thin dark choc coating- its perfect for a quick minisnack- they are very low fat yet give you a sugar/choc hit. Their new Truffle Crisp bars are super tasty too- absolutly perfect for dipping in hot cocoa or coffee- the classic choco malt taste is awesome and that little crispy cookie and choc covering is delightful- 9 grams fat for both- not bad! Both highly recommended :)

NEW- Chocolate Cheerios!!

So even Cheerios could not resist the chocolate cereal craze! Lately all kinds of "healthy" cereals have been producing tasty chocolaty versions (see my older posts for Special K, Chex, Honey Bunches...) and heres Cheerios version- its good with light and dark shiny rings, and tastes slightly cocoa like, but it's just not sweet enough for me- I actually had to add sugar even tho I ate it in chocolate milk! But then again Im a sugar/sweet addict so Im not surprised. Overall definitly worth trying for chocophiles.....

NEW! Limited Edition Fudge Covered Ritz crackers!!

These are something really fun for the holidays- I found them at Sweetbay grocery. Havn't seen these at all in many years but I have a Chocolate covered Ritz box in my collection with no year on it- I think its from the 80's. I even wrote to Nabisco and they didnt know either! But the new ones are Fudge covered, its a thin layer and tastes great except needs a dash of salt- seems they brushed all the salt off to make these and its just a little too sweet to have much of the real Ritz flavor left. Still recommended, and great for gift giving!

NEW! Andes Creme de Menthe cookies for the holidays!

I grabbed these the second I saw them at Walgreens- they look so delicious! Then I also had the Cool Mint Oreos at home and did a little taste test- they are actually quite similar in taste. The Andes cookies have a very nice thick layer of chocolate and their signature green creamy mint all wrapped around a chocolate cookie. And the Oreos are Double Stuf so they have plenty of Cool Mint creme and that dark chocolate cookie too....I am quite thrilled with both and highly recommend both! Creme de Menthe would be an elegant gift too.....

NEW! Nestle Toll House Chocolate filled cookies!!

Oh my, these are decadent. This is any choco-lovers dream right here- Nestle choc chip cookies baked with chocolate or caramel filling inside! Its an ooey-gooey delight that is only made slightly better by rolling the dough in nuts too- cashews, peanuts, or almonds taste great. Also it helps to sprinkle a little salt on them before baking- they are just SO sweet it helps balance a little. Overall- amazing! Thanx Nestle! (and good job bouncing back from that recall....)

Halloween M&Ms and Chips Ahoy!

Happy Halloween- here are some fun treats that celebrate the season. My M&M collection has grown quite large over the years- and every year they change the packaging! So fun.....and here are chocolate Covered candy corn too- really tasty.

NEW! Strawberried Peanut Butter M&Ms!!

Wow, these are actually REALLY good- they are the same as the ones put out for the Transformers Movie promo (see earlier post) but with VERY cool new fun packaging! Love the stripes! Found these only at Walmart so far, hopefully more stores will get them and they will last awhile...the pieces are much bigger than regular M&Ms, and they have a wonderful P-butter middle and strawberry flavored choco with the candy shell... sound weird at first but trust me- yummy!

NEW! Fudgey Chips Ahoy and Oreos!

Wow, fudge is having a really good month- both Chips Ahoy and Oreo have new cookies featuring it! Here's Fudge Bites and Fudge Sunday Creme- both delicious of course, but my favorite is definitly the Oreos- hard to describe the taste other than rich and creamy and ice-creamy tasting. The Fudge bites are good, but just not that spectacular. I would buy Chunky Chips Ahoy again before these.....and lots more boxes of Fudge Sunday Oreos!

Chocolates of the World- Guatemala!

My groovy globe trotting friend Adriana brought me this high quality dark & milk chocolate from Guatemala- its actually made there, although I dont know if all the ingredients are grown there. It is very pure too- with REAL cocoa butter, cocoa liquor, real milk and real vanilla. Im very impressed with the quality and taste, thank you SOOOO much Adriana! You're the best.....

NEW- Coconut M&Ms!!!

Oh my, this is a BIG deal for coconut lovers- and they are so good! Tastes a lot like Mounds actually. They are bigger than normal M&Ms, and I was a little disappointed that they didn't make them look like little coconuts inside with choc shell and white coconut flavored choc inside- that would have been fun. But its just all regular choc color and really tasty- very cool Limited Edition with great packaging. Odd that I have seen no TV or magazine ads for these at all- where is the advertising push? and only saw them in one store....wierd.

Chocolates of the World- Canada!

Ok so these are actually produced in Switzerland, but that's ok- sure is pretty packaging right? My awesome buddies Adriana and Monnett brought me these from a trip to Niagra Falls- the chocolate is excellent, and perfect little bite size squares- thank you ladies!

NEW! Dark chocolate & crunchy ice cream toppings!

Smuckers and Hershey are now competing for your Dark Chocolate love- both have really good dark choco ice cream syrup flavors that are different in thickness (Smuckers thicker) but similar in Awesomeness! Love love love them both, espec on Briars Vanilla Bean or Neopolitan ice cream....Mmmmmmm
Then there's Smuckers Magic Shell and Heath crunchy shell toppings that harden on contact with frozen food- be it ice cream, bananas, whatever- these are delicious!

New M&Ms- Nascar, Transformers, and Pens!

M&Ms, the official candy of Nascar, have put out some fun packaging for the event...also they are sponsors of the new Transformers movie with a new flavor- Strawberried Peanut butter (think Pbutter & jelly w/ a choco crunch)- really yummy! And then I have some various fun M&Ms collectibles. Enjoy!

Chocolates of the World- Japan!

Here are some funky cool treats I got from J-List.com. Really cute mini chocolate ice-cream cones, and Pistachio chocolate! They really like fruit flavored white choc -this bar comes in banana, strawberry, and other flavors too. Interesting, but not chocolate in my opinion- just cocoa butter, sugar, and flavoring. Ick. Look below to see Japanese KitKats!

NEW- Twixels!

These are the new "lighter" version of Twix candy bars that come in new fun flavors- Triple Choc, French Vanilla, and Caramel. They are clearly geared toward women and pronounce "only 90 calories per serving" on the box. And they are delicious little cookies! I especially enjoyed trying 2 flavors together, but of course went way over and past the "serving" size.....who could eat just 2??

NEW- Pillsbury Dark Choc Mint Cake!

Now this is just SO decadent and chocolaty that I simply had to try it- and trust me, its every bit as good as as the photo suggests. The Andes mint cream and sprinkles really make it amazing- I had to refrain from eating it all myself! Highly recommended!
