Eat The Treat
Attempting to eat one of each kind of treat…

Kit Kay Chunky. Just a normal one. With all the buzz of eating the different flavoured Kit Kat Chunkys a few months ago, (and I’m still unhappy about the fact that the Peanut Butter one won,) I completely forgot about the normal one. It is just a single chunky bar of normal kit kat. This [...]

Aero Orange, with lumpy bubbles. I prefer Aero Orange to any other type of Aero. Aero Green is ok, just a little too fresh. Normal Aero is like eating a less whipped Wispa. Aero Orange is just right. This has such perfectly sized bites too. I think if I were to be stuck on a [...]

Hello! 8th April 2012 marks the anniversary of the first bar I ate for Eat The Treat. A year ago today I ate a Toffee Crisp, one of my all time favourite bars of chocolate. Why not start with one I definitely like, I thought. The review, for you nostalgia fans, is here – Toffee [...]

Creme Egg Twisted. A chocolatey tube of vomit. OK, calling it a tube of vomit may be a little harsh. I don’t like Creme Eggs which, if you have been reading my posts here over the last year or so, you may know. I once ate quite a few Creme Eggs in one go when [...]

Chick chick chick chick chicken… Its Easter again! Lets bring out hollow character chocolates! The Easter Chick, a sinister looking thing filled with mini smarties, is cool. It is trying to look nice and cute, but somehow it doesn’t manage it. When unwrapped, it looks a bit nicer. Unfortunately, to get to the mini smarties, [...]

Erm…. its a Kinder Egg. Chocolate is lovely. Toys are also enjoyable. Kinder Eggs combine both of these things, so the Nestle Toto, a similar treat, MUST be good, mustn’t it? Well, no. Its a bit of a let down. Firstly, the chocolate it only one type of chocolate. Kinder Eggs give you milk chocolate [...]

I love Twix! I hate Peanut Butter! Twix, for me, is the perfect chocolate bar. Just the right amount of biscuit, caramel and chocolate and just the right size. I love them. It already got a 10 out of 10 on Eat The Treat, the UKs leading chocolate review site*, so I don’t understand why [...]

Everyone loves Magical Trev….. er…. The Magical Milk from Lindt is a baton of goodness. I found this hiding in my local cheap shop, a shop I have described in an earlier post. They sell things that are either imported or near the end of their shelf life. This had been imported, but had the [...]

Peanut Snap! While doing this challenge I discovered that I DO like peanuts in chocolate. Since primary school I had been convinced otherwise and hadn’t bought a peanutty bar in about 25 years. How bad can this be? Well, I didn’t like this at first. Its just peanuts held together by syruppy sugar. No chocolate, [...]

Two fingers of de-lishness! Years ago there was Cadburys Caramel. It was a six segment bar of chocolate, produced by Cadburys and advertised by a rabbit. Each section contained a caramel filling. The people who make Galaxy, (that would be the people at Mars,) obviously wanted a piece of the caramel action and had to [...]

Its big and its American. It can only be the Hersheys bar! This was a gift from a friend who goes by the name of GiddySausage on Twitter. I do know him in real life too, I don’t just accept chocolate from random strangers*. (*actually, I do.) Here in the UK, chocolate bars are quite [...]

Olympic themed Dairy Milk Chocolate? The idea behind the Dairy Milk Postcard is that you can buy it and show your support to the UK Olympic and UK Paralympic teams. I opened the box and was greeted by….. a freepost postcard! I turned it over to find out what I had to do. The postcard [...]

Final day of Kit Kat Chunky week. The Kit Kat Chunky Peanut Butter is an atrocity. WHY would ANYONE want to, first of all, eat peanut butter and secondly make a bar of chocolate with it? Anyone? I opened this, knowing I despise peanut butter. It didn’t disappoint. It tasted horrible. Admittedly, the first bite [...]

Day 3 of the Kit Kat Chunkys… I find orange chocolate is quite hit and miss. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I can’t stand it. I can’t face eating a Terrys Chocolate Orange, but an Aero Orange presents me no problems. But the Kit Kat Chunky Orange is very nice. As with all the Chunkies, [...]

A white chocolate Kit Kat? Before I opened it, I imagined the Kit Kat Chunky White Choc to be quite sickly. White chocolate is always lovely until you combine it with other things, at which point I stop liking it. This, however, is something special. I could eat this again and again. (Not the same [...]

First off, for Chunky Kit Kat Week, is the Double Choc. The Kit Kat Chunky Double Choc, (bit of a mouthful in both literal and name terms,) is just a normal chunky Kit Kat with added chocolate filling on the inside, at the top. It is very nice and the chocolate paste made a nice [...]

GOLD! Always believe in your sooouulll…. I found these in my fridge. I must have bought them a few months ago and buried them beneath other, more exciting bars. I’ve always associated chocolate coins with cheap chocolate, so I was pleased to see that these were official Cadburys ones. The Chocolate Coins, for those who [...]

Revels. Bizarre pieces of chocolate. In each pack of Revels you get a random mix of 6 different types of treat. Each bag contains Maltesers, caramel filled chocolates, chocolate disks, orange filled chocolates, chocolate raisins and coffee flavoured things. People usually buy chocolate because they know they like the taste. But these are the only [...]
