Cadbury Roses, pt. ii

the rest of the lot:

Brazilian Darkness: i was disappointed by this. i thought it was going to be super-exotic dark chocolate, but again with the great expectations thing - i know i shouldn't but i persist anyway, with my overly-romanticized notions of what chocolate should be (poor pip). there's barely any dark chocolate here. the candy is essentially like the rock solid caramel i previously reviewed, except covered with a pathetically thin sheen of dark chocolate, and there are tiny minced bits of hazelnut embedded in the caramel. wasn't feeling this at all.

Cadbury Dairy Milk: a nice, tried-andtrue classic. perhaps one of the least outright unsavoury chocolates in the box. what can i say? i love the added creaminess.

Caramel Velvet: not bad for crappy chocolate - i guess this is what i had in mind in terms of "caramel" (unlike the one i reviewed last time, this caramel was soft to the point of being almost liquid), and it was accompanied by a nice satisfactorily velvety chocolate filling. pretty sweet.

Hazel in Caramel: pretty straightforward: a hazelnut ensconced in caramel wrapped in a milk chocolate thing. too sweet, but i like hazelnuts.

Golden Barrel: the same kind of liquid-y caramel as in the caramel velvet in milk chocolate. extremely sweet, but i much prefer the consistency of the caramel.

Hazel Whirl: really, not as exciting as it sounds; there's nothing particularly whirly about it except for the little design on the chocolate. essentially, overly sweet milk chocolate with a lovely whole hazelnut in the middle. there were only, like, 3 of these in the entire box, which was incredibly disappointing (and there were 6 of the yucky fruit creme ones. thanks for trying to rip me off, cadbury. are whole nuts really that expensive to deal with?)

do i sound unsatisfied?

the speed with which i finished the 400g of chocolate my belies my answer - which is to say, cadbury, you can SHOVE IT.
