Rating: 8

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.

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.

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.

1. Almond Joy Rating: 7

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.
3. Limited Edition Mounds Island Orange Rating: 9
This chocolate bar smelled very good. The orange color coconut is a surprise to me. The flavor is to die for.

Hebert Chocolate Bar


Type:Dark chocolate bar with pecan pralines and toffee
Company: Hebert's Confections, LLC
Manufacture: U.S.A
Purchase from Walgreen's at Market St, San Francsico

This chocolate bar is considered as a brand new item at Walgreen. I have only seen them for the past few months.

Rich dark chocolate. The bitterness from the dark chocolate compliments well with the caramel. The chocolate is not creamy and does not melt on your mouth. You really have to have a bite to really enjoy this bar. Though i feel that it has enough topping but I can't taste the pecan.

Anyone who comes across this particular chocolate bar would have guess that it is 'Made in America'. It is huge and certainly enough to satisfy more than 1 people.

I am not a big fan of dark chocolate but i like this bar a lot.

Type: Milk chocolate with walnuts, dark chocolate and marshmallow pieces
This bar is OK... Again, the chocolate is not creamy and you have to bite the chocolate to enjoy the whole bar. The marshmallow pieces on top is powdery and does not have enough marshmallow flavor or texture. It also has very little dark chocolate taste.

Sophie Mae Old Fashioned Cashew Brittle

Type: Cashew Brittle
Origin:U.S.A
Manufacture: Georgia's Confections
Purchase from Walgreen's at Chestnut St, San Francisco.
I found this peanut brittle along with the chocolates and candy section at Walgreen's. This product is extremely addicting. It is tasty, crunchy, not too sweet and has a well-mix of caramel and cashew nuts. The only thing i don't like about this candy is how it stuck to my teeth. Overall, it is an excellent product

Turtles


Type: Milk Chocolate with pecans, cashews and caramel filling.
Origin: Canada
Manufacture: Nestle
Purchase from Walgreen's at Geary St, San Francisco
This chocolate is simply addicting. It has a great flavour and texture. Each of the turtles has a perfect mix of caramel, chocolate and nuts. It is nutty in every bite and it is not overly sweet. I will definitely buy this chocolate again.

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.
