The chocolate wrappers museum

Chocolate Wrappers from around the world!

This site has an amazing collection of different chocolate wrappers. I'm impressed at how many there are!

See them at mujweb.cz/www/chocolate...

Had lunch in Neutral Bay yesterday and wandered down past some of the shops on Military Road and came across Le Patissier. They have some lovely tortes, pastries and of course, chocolates. There were some hollow boots and Christmas themed handmade chocolates for just less than $10.
I didn't buy any chocolates as they looked busy and I needed to be back over in front of the restaurant to wait for Nikki...

Japanese Chocolate

Japanese love their chocolate, and from the below link you can read all about it -- look at some pictures of what they have and the yummy flavours.

Chocolate Cheese!?

How weird! Chocolate cheese slices! (Chocolate flavoured processed cheese slices.)

Apparently very popular in Taiwan, they are now being marketed across Asia. Made by a NZ cooperative called Fonterra.

Cocoa Deli
Cookies and Cream Belgian Milk Chocolate Lolly Truffle


Spotted this in my local Target and bought one of the three variations they had in store.

Tastes pretty good. It's made from Belgian chocolate and you can taste the difference. The inside is two layers of "truffle centre". Not quite what I'd consider a truffle centre, but sort of light and fluffy -- very much like what is pictured on the outside -- an ice cream, although it isn't cold.

There are some cookie bits or biscuit bits in the mix as well. A bit on the sweet side for my tastes. I think I'd prefer the real thing (a cookies and cream ice cream!) but this tasted pretty good.

Difficult item to share though as there is no way to break it easily and when biting down left all bits of chocolates all over the place!

Here is a photo of the chocolate unwrapped and another one bitten into:

Looks just like an ice cream! Just when all the ice cream varieties seem to be copying chocolate bars, this is the reverse.

The chocolate is (according to packet): Mad in the United Kingdom by Cocoa Deli. But there is an Australian address on it. Also a website: www.cocoadeli.com.

The description according to the packaging:
Delicious layers of vanilla flavour and milk chocolate truffle with crunchy coca biscuits (5%) and cocoa nibs (0.8%) in smooth Belgian Milk Chocolate.

I give it 3/5 for innovation and taste. I love the fact that I don't melt the chocolate by my hand and can nibble on it (even if the chocolate outer then crumbles a bit).

Came across the below site which is interesting. I wonder if Cocoa trees can grow up near Cairns?

I want to buy some Cocoa seedlings... not that they would grow where I am... too cold most of the year.

I saw "Mars Balls" today at the petrol station! Interesting. They were wrapped spheres in Mars colours, and were selling for $1.50 for two... not being a Mars fan I didn't pick up any.

The first post! This blog was inspired by a food blog... with lots of gorgeous photos of food... I want to cover more about chocolate which can be found in Sydney and around the place. This of course is due to my own Chocolate business... Custom Chocolates.
