Almond Joy

Sometimes you feel like a nut. Almond Joy Candy bars are a hunk of gooey shredded coconut with an almond on top, covered with chocolate. Why is it gooey? who knows, probably sugar syrup of some kind. They are sweet, and very coconutty. The chocolate adds a little flavor, but there really isn't that much chocolate so it doesn't overpower anything. Then there is the almond, I really don't think it adds much. Most bites don't have any almond in them and even the ones that do, all you get is a hard crunch, you can't taste the almond over the other flavors. If you would rather not have the mostly superfluous almond, you could get a Mounds Bar instead, it is the same candy bar, sans the almond. If you really like sweet coconut give this a try, but don't get it expecting lots of chocolate or almonds.

Chocolove: Ginger Crystallized in Dark Chocolate

65% Cocoa dark chocolate with small bits of crystallized ginger. The ginger gives it a sweet, crystally taste with just a touch of ginger flavor. The main flavor is still the chocolate, the ginger just provides and extra edge to the flavor. I happen to like crystallized ginger and I also like dark chocolate, so this is a combination that seems custom made for me. Not suprisingly, I like it, I think there is just enough ginger without being too much. Chocolate purists might not like it, and I don't eat it all the time, but it is a nice change of pace now and then.

Cadbury: Moro candy bar

Milk Chocolate with caramel and biscuit filling. You have to like soft, gooey caramel to like this candy bar because there is lots of it. There are also small bits of cookie in it giving a bit of crunch. I like caremel, and I like their caramel dipped in chocolate, so I think this is a good candy. I wish there were more cookie pieces though.

Hershey's Take 5 candy bar

This one fits in the category of "lets just put everything in" It
is a lumpy combination of pretzels, caramel, peanuts, peanut butter, and
milk chocolate. You put that many good things in and it is hard to make
it bad, but I don't think they build on each other either. You can
taste the chocolate, pretzels, and salt (on the pretzels), and sometimes
you can taste the caramel, but the peanuts and peanut butter get a bit lost.
I am also don't care for salty pretzels and chocolate, although
I know some people really like that. There are better candy bars out
there that I would rather have than this one.

Twix candy bar

Twix packages have two narrow candy bars in them. the backbone of the candy is a cookie. On top of that is a ribbon of caramel, then the whole thing is dipped in chocolate. This is a good candy bar, It is crunchy, and creamy, and chocolatey, it is a good coombination of flavors and textures. Try it.

Cherry Kit-Kat

I'm not sure, but this may have been a valentine's day special, so be prepared to wait another year to get this. It is your standard Kit-Kat, but instead of a chocolate covering it has a white-chocolate, cherry flavored coating. The coating is very cherry flavored, but it is that artificial tasting cherry. It is an interesting novelty flavor, but not as good as the original kit kat.

100 Grand Dark

I have always liked the Nestle 100 Grand bar, a candy bar that is mostly caramel, with little crispy crunchy things on top, and dipped in chocolate. I also like dark chocolate, so just seeing it made be expect it to be a winner. And it is. tasty, chocolatey, and caramelly, how could you go wrong.
