Chocoball – Kyoto Matcha
Chocoball is generally considered more of a children’s brand, and is obviously marketed as so. As the children who grew up on it, they become nostalgic and become a bigger portion of the purchasing base.…

Tony’s Chocolonely – 70% Dark Chocolate
I’ve talked about Tony before, and while I wasn’t super wowed or bedazzled by them, I did appreciate the effort and it’s a brand I might consider from time to time, if the price allowed.…
Toppo – Tiramisu
It’s been a while since I’ve found a new Toppo flavour to try. They don’t exactly crank out a new flavour too often, so it’s not hard to keep up with them. It’s why this…

Meiji – Brandy & Orange Peel Chocolate
I’ve done a few of these alcoholic chocolate flavours at this point, and most are honestly pretty decent all things considered. While I do think orange works well with stronger alcohol flavours, I’m neither a…
