Bourbon – Hi-Chocolate Truffe Strawberry

Bourbon – Hi-Chocolate Truffe Strawberry

Bourbon as a brand is interesting to me – they do packaged baked goods, chocolates, candies and a whole bunch of random things. I haven’t tried their packaged baked goods, but most of the chocolates…

Toppo – Rich Matcha

Toppo – Rich Matcha

I feel like I’ve slowed down on my Toppo hype train in the past while, and I chalk it up to the brand being less adventurous with new flavours. Even a lot of their seasonal…

Mintia – Pudding

Mintia – Pudding

Doritos Cup Style – Smoked Cheese

Doritos Cup Style – Smoked Cheese

Valor – 85% Dark Chocolate Sugar Free

Chocoball – Mogumogu Time Strawberry
