Summary: ( Chocolate Cake - deliciously rich and easy to make )

I'm not sure if I'm really allowed to smuggle that one in as a chocolate rec. Nessime, Morrighan, if you think that Chocolate Cake is not allowed, you can disqualify me and I won't post any chocolate recs till ... December (can't miss the Christmas season.  ;-)

It was love on first taste. We met each other on a wild, debauched student party. Well-build young man were dancing bare-chested. A dark voice with a sexy french accent reached my ear: Would I want a lift? He would take me home. It was tempting. I looked around, watching the bodies moving to the beat of the music - would it be worth staying? I was still undecided ... wavering. Should I stay of should I go? But then I saw it, sitting on a table on the other side of the room. I had only gotten a glimpse, but it was enough, I knew I couldn't resist, I had to go there and taste it, lick it, devour it.

It was dark, viscous chocolate sauce, surrounded by a ring of delicious, rich chocolate cake. When the first piece reached my tongue, the crumbly texture in a perfect melange with the smooth melt, I knew I was in love, a love that would last a lifetime.

I walked home that night, not the least sorry that I had turned down my neighbours offer for a lift.

Title: Milka M–joy Caramel Crunch Chocolate

Summary: Tender Milka alpine milk chocolate filled with Crunchy Caramel - a handy Snack for lunch and trips.

Milka chocolate, or the Mary-Sue of chocolates, is very creamy and therefore very sweet as it is. Adding caramel bits to it was pretty risky. Adding caramel bits hard like stones to it was a tremendous mistake. Customers are presented with a choice: either warm the product and get a safe, extremely sweet and messy sauce, or keep it cold and receive delicious chocolate with caramel that will most probably break their teeth. The producers claim that M–joy Caramel Crunch is ideal for lunch and journeys, which I simply cannot imagine considering the amount of caution that needs to be exercised while eating.
So keeping this note short: go ahead and enjoy your chocolate if you're a sugar- and/or dentists-lover; stay away if you value your time and darker tastes.
I am quite sure my little experiment with M–joy Caramel Crunch will keep me drinking black coffee for a while...

Well, okay, that description might not be best to advertise the product, but it was the only one in English that I found.
When I decided to review this chocolate, I was under the impression that KINDER chocolate, at least KINDER surprise - a egg-shaped chocolate shell with a surprise inside - had already conquered the world. I can remember eating it Australia!  But apparently it has not yet reached the American continent. No globalisation on the chocolate market it seems, apart from Mars &  Co.  that is.

KINDER country is supposed to have crispy cereals embedded in some soft white filling that is surrounded by milk chocolate. That's the theory, which was unfortunately unknown to my sample. The cereal was a little soggy, about the consistency of old popcorn. When I tried the white stuff, my taste buds were overwhelmed by all the sugar and grease that they couldn't really find the promised 'creaminess'. The surrounding chocolate was okay, normal chocolate.
I was rather disappointed with the quality of this product. It was a bit boring, tasted a bit dusty and had all theses soggy puffed wheat thingies that later hung between your teeth.
And if you think that 'cereal' automatically equals 'healthy' than you are very wrong.
So all you Americans that have no access to KINDER products, you don't have to be too disappointed. You didn't miss anything if you did not try this chocolate bar.

(To defend Kinder Country: it is possible that my sample wasn’t the freshest any more. I stole it from my brother’s secret stash some time ago. It was lying on my desk ever since, buried under some paper, till I today decided to put it out of misery.)

We do have a similar product here in the U.S. (Kellog's Milk and Cereal Bars).  Like Maryx, I found them to be rather unappealing.  The "milk" tasted nothing like milk, the cereal was most decidedly stale, and the chocolate was waxy.  This product is sold as a breakfast replacement, but the only thing I'd need replacing if I ate this product on a regular basis would be an artery.

Cheers! Nessime

Wow. Keep it up, Maryx ,and you'll knock all professional chocolate critics off their perch :).

I can't help being astounded at the accuracy of this comment. Devoted as I am to KINDER Eggs, I expected the KINDER Country Cereali to make me swoon. Well, the amount of sugar and those annoying rocky nuts almost did. I never bought it again.
