A Little Bit of Chocolate Does You good: Waddesdon Luxury Salted Caramel Milk Chocolate

I picked up this packet of chocolate for the Chef when we visited Waddesdon Manor last autumn. The design, which is really why I bought this, is from the original architectural drawings of Waddesdon Manor by Gabriel-Hippolyte Destailleur (what a great name eh!) which are held in the bpk Kunstbibliothek, Staatlich Museum zu Berlin.

Never mind the chocolate, feel the grandness of the packaging!

And here's a paper bag from Wadesdon.

A Little Bit of Chocolate Does You Good: Butlers Butterscotch Milk Chocolate

I've only ever seen this Irish chocolate for sale on a cross channel ferry. From England to France - or vice versa. I'm sure it must be possible to buy it somewhere else.

A Little Bit of Chocolate Does You Good: Lindt Hello My Name is Strawberry Cheesecake

I've been neglecting this blog recently because there are oh so many different kinds of crisps to write about, so here's a random bar of chocolate I picked up at Geneva Airport in April. Can it really be called Hello My Name is Strawberry Cheesecake?  Unfortunately it seems the answer is yes.

The packet says milk chocolate with strawberry cream cheese filling. Which is right I suppose.

The pale pink cheesy filing does taste of strawberry but there's also a sort of gritty element which I'm not mad about. On closer inspection it turns out to be tiny specks of cheesecake base. I'm not really convinced that's such good idea. There are also teeny little bits of dried strawberry - I think - which look pretty and are a little bit tart. And there are some strawberry pips too which I'm not wild about.

The filing is quite sweet and the milk chocolate is rather sweet as well. It's all a little bit sickly sweet. I wonder if this filing would have worked better with dark chocolate?

A Little Bit of Chocolate Does You Good: Marmite Chocolate

At first taste this is a very ordinary milk chocolate.
Not even so fancy as Cadbury Dairy Milk. But... it has a very interesting after taste.
Of Marmite.

Yum!
If you don't fancy the chocolate version try the crisps.

And if you don't know what Marmite crisps are about read this.
