Del Rey Milk Chocolate with Macadamia Nut Bar (mini-review)

Del Rey, Milk Chocolate with Macadamia Nut Bar Belgium €6.00 for 85g Very good, solid bar. The nuts mix perfectly with the chocolate, the flavor is great, and the sweetness isn’t bad. Still, it is massively overpriced, especially in Belgium, where good chocolate can be obtained for far, far less. Presentation: 4.5/5.0. See the...

Vasalissa Milk Chocolate with Almond Bar

Vasalissa, Milk Chocolate with Almond Bar Buenos Aires, Argentina US$7.50 Overall Score: 4.0/5.0, but 3.0/5.0 for value. Actually, quite a good milk chocolate bar, in comparison to most in Argentine.

Viejo Oso Milk Chocolate Bar

Viejo Oso, Milk Chocolate Bar Buenos Aires, Argentina Viejo Oso does an excellent job with this chocolate. It’s not as good as the white chocolate, but it has a great level of sweetness and rather nice texture. It melts great too—in fact, it melts on the touch and even when you unwrap it if you apply too much pressure. It’s...

Winter’s Prime Milk Chocolate Bar

Winter’s Prime Milk Chocolate Bar Articulated in Peru. Tasted at Machu Picchu. Overall Score: 2.5/5.0, considering how cheap the bar is (about a buck). 7.0/10 otherwise. Very, very interestingly odd flavor. Starts out weak and not sweet, but it gets progressively sweeter. Overall, it feels reminiscent of a dark milk chocolate,...

Aguila Mousse Limon Chocolate Bar

Aguila Mousse Limon Milk Chocolate Bar filled with Lemon Mousse Argentina Overall Score: 3.3/5.0 for a cheap, commercial chocolate. First thought—delicious! Really smooth in the mouth and very creamy and rich. It is too much on the sweet side (it’s a commercial, non-artisanal chocolate after all), but it’s a nice, sugary fix....

Havanna Milk Chocolate Bar

Havanna, Milk Chocolate Bar Throughout Argentina Around US$2.50 Not bad. A little too hard, with a bad melt, but the flavor profile is okay. The sweetness is right, which is surprising for Argentine chocolates. It’s almost as good as the milk chocolate from Aguila. Overall, not something I’d buy, especially since it’s more...

Fenoglio (Museo de Chocolate)

Fenoglio Artisanal Chocolate Producer/Chocolate Museum Av Bustillo 1200, San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina Very good overall. Flavors, especially the creams and dulce de leche are just right. Good bittersweet chocolate pieces, and great use of nuts and swirls. The main flaw is in the sweetness. There is so much that it’s...

Cadbury Milk Chocolate Bar

Cadbury Milk Chocolate Bar As found in Argentina This chocolate bar was tasted in Argentina, so it might be an Argentine version. It’s a bit on the hard side. It’s also very rich, creamy, sugary, and sweet. It’s kind of cloying and certainly would be if I didn’t eat only 2 pieces of it. Nice melt, though, and it has a...
