Review: Cadbury Dairy Milk Coconut Rough 220G

This is a delicious milk chocolate product with toasted coconut by the Cadbury Chocolate Company in Australia. It is a chocolate which is made from local and imported ingredients.

It contains 85% milk chocolate, plus 15% toasted coconut.
The milk chocolate contains 26% cocoa solids, 28% milk solids.

Overall, a lovely milk chocolate with the coconut texture evident, yet with a pleasant, relatively subtle coconut taste.

A sweet pleasant tasting and textured milk chocolate for when you would prefer a lighter chocolate, which is lower on cocoa content, yet would like something a little different.

Review: Vandenbulcke Chocolate Seashells 250g

This is a very delicious collection of Belgian chocolates.

Most of the chocolates are presented as seashells, a few as sea creatures.
All are crafted from both milk and white chocolate, with a pleasant combination of a hazelnut and chocolate filling contained within.

Chocolatiers since 1949, this is indeed a very nice chocolate product by Vandenbulcke Chocolatiers, which is presented in an attractive gift box with tray.

Each chocolate is contained in its own niche within the plastic tray, and has been crafted with careful attention to detailing to ensure it represents a specific seashell or sea creature.

A delightful collection of individual chocolate treats with the combined hazelnut chocolate filling being both pleasant and subtle, yet able to be detected in each chocolate morsel.

A very smooth textured collection of chocolate, which is rich enough to warrant sharing with a friend or loved one, or you can simply choose to enjoy it over time should you wish to enjoy the collection by yourself.

A boxed collection I will be choosing to keep in mind as a possible future gift for
family members & friends.
