Bounty

Type: Chocolate and Coconut

Origin: Canada

Both dark and milk chocolates Bounty are delicious. I love both of them. They are better than Almond Joy. Unfortunately it is very difficult to find them in the States.

Hersey's Bars

Type: Limited Edition Hersey's Brownies 'N' Chocolate
It takes few bites for the flavor to emerge. This chocolate bar has bits and pieces of brownies. In term of flavor, it is mild and slowly disappearing. The chocolate and brownies does not mix too well together.

Type: Limited Edition Hersey's Special Dark Espresso
It has a strong smell of coffee which i like. However, this chocolate tasted awful to me
Rating: 3

Type: Limited Edition Hersey's Almond Joy
So far, this is my favorite. I love Almond Joy so i know i am going to enjoy this chocolate bar. The chocolate is rich and creamy. The coconut and almond bits are plentiful.
Rating:8

Type: Hersey's Special Dark
Another very popular Hersey's bar. It is slightly bitter. After few bites, i could not taste the dark chocolate. This chocolate bar simply does not have enough flavor/substance. A huge disappointment!
Rating: 4

Type: Hersey's with Crisp corn bits.
Again, Hersey's chocolate is too sweet. The corn bits are plentiful and crunchy.
Rating: 5

Type: Hersey's with Caramel, Naturally and Artificially flavored.
Compare to the rest of Hersey's Bar, the packaging on this bar is much smaller in size. It is perhaps an attempt from Hersey's to distinguish its limited edition from the others. Hersey's definitely would like to successfully sell this Hersey's with caramel bar.
The caramel has a goldish color and it is stringy and tasty. I like the caramel more than the chocolate. Overall, it is an OK chocolate.

Type: Hersey's filled with Peanut Butter, King Size!
I am saving the best for last. I am a huge fan of peanut butter. I love Reese's and convinced that they are the best peanut butter chocolate mix in the world. So when i discovered Hersey's attempt to compete with My Favorite peanut butter chocolate company, i took the challenge seriously.
The peanut butter is smooth and creamy. Reese's has a much nicer texture and taste even better. In addition, Hersey's chocolate is too sweet for me.

Hungarian Chocolates







Hazelnuts are everywhere in Europe. Piros is the Hungarian's favorite and it become my favorite as well. Europeans are not stingy; the hazelnuts are in chunks and plenty. The chocolate is milky and creamy. I also like the packaging.
Overall, a must to try if you come to Hungary.
RATE: 9
Another thing that Europeans like in their chocolates is coconut. Choco is a chocolate creme covered in coconut. It is soft and a bit stringy. The chocolate creme tasted weird and artificial to me.
Rate: 2

Koko

Type: Dark chocolate with coconut filling
Origin: Ceska Republika
Manufacture: Orion
Purchase from Alberta Supermarket, Praha 1

Koko is a thin layer of dark chocolate around coconut filling. It has a smiliar taste to Mounds however, Koko tasted more of a rum-liqor flavor.

I love coconut. In my country, we use every parts of coconut for everything from cooking, to make fire and etc. At the beach, they sell them everywhere and coconut flesh are delicious.
Almond Joy is one of my favorites chocolate bar. I love it. However, i find them too sweet. I can only have a small dose of the mini Almond Joy.
2. Mounds Dark Chocolate Rating: 8
I don't really like dark chocolate but i love this chocolate bar. Love.. it .. love it....The sweet coconut and the bitterness from the dark chocolate create a well balance flavor to this bar. It is a very good chocolate bar.

CupOGold

Type: Thick, Rich Milk Chocolate Creamy Smoother Center of Almonds and Coconut
Origin: U.S.A
Manufacture: Hoffman's
Purchase from a liquor store at Market St, San Francisco

CupOGold is a single cup of creamy milk chocolate from San Francisco with toasted almond and coconut filling. I like the filling; toasted almond, marshmallow and coconut a lot but i certainly do not like the chocolate. In my opinion, so far this is the worst chocolate i have ever taste. The milk chocolate is weak . Perhaps, if Hoffman Company use a better quality/grade of chocolate, it would have been a better CupOGold.

I love coconut and peanut butter and look at what i have found! Chick O-Stick.

Chick-O-Stick is made from peanut butter, granulated sugar,corn syrup and toasted coconut. It is a bright orange stick coated with coconut. This candy is crunchy, a bit salty and tasty. It is slightly chewy, nutty and has plenty of coconut flavour.

COCONUT CREME PUMPKIN
This chocolate candy is thick in size, hard and shape like a pumpkin. It is a cutest little thing. It is surprisingly taste like an almond joy. I like this candy a lot. It is not to sweet and it is a perfect size! The chocolate is rich, creamy and melt on your mouth. The coconut is plentiful and in bits of pieces. This chocolate definitely deserve to be one of my favorites Halloween candy .

ORANGE MARSHMALLOW PUMPKIN
The candy shape like a pumpkin and it is soft in texture. The marshmallow has a bright orange color. I do not like this candy at all. The marshmallow taste like an orange sorbet rather than a pumpkin.
