Hi-Chew – 4 Grape Variety

Hi-Chew – 4 Grape Variety

Expectations are a tricky thing. The same experience can be seen as good and bad by two different people, entirely on the basis of their expectation. If you have high expectations, and said expectations are…

Paqui – Wild Wild Ranch

Paqui – Wild Wild Ranch

A while back, I did a not-so-scathing review of the brands other flavour, Cool Salsa Verde. Spoiler alert – it was tasty. I figure I’d try another flavour. This one is sure to draw some…

Black Thunder – Matcha Azuki

Black Thunder – Matcha Azuki

Another week, another new, but “safe” review. I say safe for a couple of reasons here. Black Thunder has already established itself as a solid choice for Japanese chocolate, and I’ve yet to be wronged…

Black Thunder – Bitter

Black Thunder – Bitter

I’ve reviewed a few different Black Thunder chocolate bars at this point, and I think it’s safe to say it’s a brand I have fond experiences of so far. Just like any other confectionery brand,…

Tirol Chocolate – Black Mont Blanc Ice Cream Bar

Tirol Chocolate – Black Mont Blanc Ice Cream Bar

Tirol Chocolate – Yamada Momiji Red Bean

Tirol Chocolate – Yamada Momiji Red Bean

In the previous review I did a few days ago about the Kamome no Tamago flavour of Tirol, I mentioned that it was a white bean paste treat. I figured today would be a good…

Tirol Chocolate – Kamome No Tamago

Tirol Chocolate – Kamome No Tamago

When traveling, it’s common courtesy to bring back some souvenirs or gifts back from whence you came. Or is it went? Whence you adjourned? I don’t know. Bottom line is, you bring something back as…

Tirol Chocolate – Komeda Shiro Noir Dessert

Tirol Chocolate – Komeda Shiro Noir Dessert

I may not be what some may consider an expert on Tirol, but I think it’s safe to say I am quite fanatic about the brand. In the relatively short time I’ve had with the…

FRANK – Grilled Cheese & Ketchup Kettle Chips

FRANK – Grilled Cheese & Ketchup Kettle Chips

In the past few years, many companies have made a push to crank out their own house brands. I get why – the margins are better with owned brands, and you can slowly build up…

Tirol Chocolate – Tart Cake Mix

Tirol Chocolate – Tart Cake Mix
