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.

Type: Reese's Limited Edition Big PB Cup with mixed nuts

I bought this chocolate last year and finally decided to try them. I love Reese's Cup so i always try to save the best for last. The mixed nuts in this Reese's are cashews,almonds and pecans. The mixed nuts are in chunks and not grind to little pieces. These Limited Editions are actually quiet good and it is refreshing to have something new and different version of Reese's cup.

Type:Reese's Limited Edition Big PB Cup with Caramel and Nuts
The caramel is a thin layer at the bottom of the Peanut Butter. The caramel is sticky and sweet however, it does not overwhelms the saltiness of the Peanut Butter. This PB cup with caramel and nuts is OK but not great.
Rating: 7

Type: Reese's Limited Edition PB Cups with Marshmallow
The marshmallow is a white thin layer at the bottom of the PB. I can taste something different and definitely it is the marshmallow however, i am not sure what Marshmallow supposed to taste like. Overall, i definitely will not purchase these again and will persuaded Hersey's not to make this.
Rating: 5

Type: Reese's Limited Edition PB Cups with Double Chocolate
The PB filling in this cups has darker and brownish color. It is definitely more chocolaty and sweet and yet there is enough saltiness from the PB. However, i don't think too much chocolate makes a better Reese's PB cup. Nevertheless i feel that this version changed the whole dynamic of the Reese's OB cup supposed to taste like.

This bar definitely has tons and tons of chocolate layers. It is overwhelmingly chocolaty and creamy. It will make a big mess if it has been under a hot sun. Too much chocolate is never enough right :)

Reese's Dark Chocolate

Type: Peanut butter cups in dark chocolate.
Limited Edition Dark Chocolate
Origin: Canada
Manufacture: Hersey's Canada
Purchased from One Dollar Store in Montreal, Canada

I love Reese's. Reese's is one of my favorites chocolate and when i spotted this, i just have to buy them. Lately chocolates manufactures have been making and introducing the dark chocolate version to the market. Some have been very successful and remained in the market such as the Dark chocolate Snickers and dark mint chocolate 3 musketeers. As for Reese's dark chocolate version, i am not so sure.

In my humble opinion, the dark chocolate ruined the flavor and taste to the peanut butter. They just don't go well together.

Oh Henry

Type: Limited Edition Oh Henry with dark chocolate
Crunchy peanuts, chewy caramel, covered in dark chocolate.
Origin: Canada
Manufacture: Hersey's Canada
Purchase from a gas station somewhere between Ottawa and Toronto.

I have always on the look out for limited edition chocolates. And after months of blogging, reviewing and searching for limited edition chocolates, i have found that the best place to look for them are in mom and pap's store.

The peanuts are chunky, dry roasted and crunchy. I can't really taste the caramel and the dark chocolate. It is definitely chewy and fudgy. Overall the experienced coming from this bar is crunchy and chewy.

In terms of flavor, these are not quite different form the original M&M's. I can taste a hint of bitterness from the dark chocolate.

Rating: 8

Type: White M&M's

These are tasteless and i don't think M&M's are doing quite well with the white chocolate version in the market. They come in preety soft colors of white, pink, baby blue and light yellow color.

When i try to be healthy and yet i want to munch on something sweet or chocolatey, I usually grab for Almond M&M's. They are preety huge almond size candy.

Type: Wild Cherry Limited Edition M&M's

I love the M&M's bright cherry red packaging . There are only 2 colors- red and marroon. In terms of flavor, they are taste preety much like cherry cordials. Others may be fond of these Wild Cherry M&M's.

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.

The Original 100 grand is still the best of all three. Smooth, not too sweet , crispy and has a good crunch to it.

The dark chocolate has a strong bittersweet flavour and the caramel has also very strong distinct flavour. The caramel is stringy and chewy. The dark chocolate overwhelms the whole candy bar.

3. 100 Grand with peanuts. Rating: 6

I am not sure what they try to achieve with this bar. The peanut overwhelms the whole candy bar.

Type: Peanut Butter Take 5 made with pretzel, caramel, peanut butter and peanut butter candy.

Origin:U.S.A

Purchase from various liquor store in San Francisco.

My favorite among the three is the Original Take 5. I think Hersey's should just stick with the original. The original has great flavour. I love the crunchiness of the pretzel, chewy and stringy caramel and the sweet and salty taste of the peanut butter.

Rating: 9

The Peanut Butter Take 5 is too much for me. It is overload with peanut butter. I like peanut butter but not that much! I feel that it is too filling, too rich and the flavour too intense. I just had 2 bites and i could not finish them.

Rating: 7

The Limited Edition Marshmallow Take 5 has a very interesting flavour. In my opinion, it taste funky and definitely, not a good combination.
