Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares

Type: Intense dark chocolate with rich caramel
Origin: U.S.A
Manufacture: Hersey's
Purchase from Walgreen's at Geary ST San Francisco

This chocolate bar smells wonderful. It is shinny in appearance. It has a very intense rich bitter dark chocolate flavor with only a slightly hint of caramel. I don't like the bitter after taste that lingers in your mouth. I am just not a big fan of dark chocolate

Type: Dark chocolate with raspberry filling
The filling is bright pink and Oh my.. it is yummmyyyy. It smells fruity and the raspberry is a great compliments to the dark chocolate.
Rating: 8
Type: Dark chocolate with white mint filling
This bar does not have a strong mint flavor as i thought it would have. The mint and the dark chocolate compliment each other. However,I still prefer York over this Giradelli at anytime.

I love the simplicity and the flavor coming from this bar. The raisins are plum and juicy. The peanuts are fresh and crunchy. One of my favorites.

Cadbury Milk Chocolate

Type: milk chocolate
Origin: U.S.A
Manufacture: Hersey's
Purchase from Safeway San Francisco

I am surprised to find out that Hersey's produces Cadbury chocolate in the States now. I have been a big fan of Cadbury. However, i don't like Cadbury made by Hersey's . I love Cadbury only when it is produced from England or elsewhere. I find that the Cadbury manufacture by Hersey's is too sweet . I like the texture; creamy and milky. I actually experienced a high sugar rush from eating this bar.

Whatchamacallit

Origin : U.S.A
Manufacture: Hersey's

Whatchamacallit taste similar to Reese's Wafer.It is crispy and crunchy. However, I would still prefer Reese's bar over whatchamacallit at anytime.
