February 26/27th: '7Days of Chocolate Reviews' - Edition 66

*** SITE UPDATE ***


Hi All,

It's been nearly a month since the last '7Days of Chocolate Reviews' - it sure has been a busy start to the year huh!?

This week you may have noticed that the site has got a new 'ChocolateMission News Page .... Chocolate Matters' --> See HERE.

Rather than having to wait until the end of the week to get your Chocolate news I will now be updating the page with the latest goings on in the Chocolate World as and when the news breaks. It would be great if you guys contribute stories and your views and opinions on the news - make sure you keep checking the site as it will be updated regularly.

I hope you enjoyed the reviews this week - if you haven't seen them you can find them here:

Thorntons Dessert Gallery ... (See HERE)
'Bits n Bobs' Japanese Superpost 2011 # 3 ... (See HERE)
Cadbury SpotsVStripes The Big Race ... See HERE

Next week we will have more chocolates from Thorntons, a 'Bits n Bobs' review and a special Ritter feature.

Have a great weekend

JIM

Rachel said...

Are you going to be replacing the news part of these weekend posts with any new feature? It's a bit bare today love.

Rxxx

Nick said...

Quality reviews this week Jimbo. I still hate the fact we don't get one a day but I can live with it if they stay this good.

I'm intrigued by seeing more Thorntons choc. Anything special instore for us?

Kim said...

The news page is uber groovy well done. I keep trying to find worthwhile stories to send you but it seems to have all gone quiet.

Nice graphic for the new page btw ;) Are you doing them?

Golden_Touch said...

A special Ritter feature? Is this about that vote they recently had to determine the next flavour?
Don't tell me you have it already =}

Hey Jim thanks for the links man some of them are interesting. Lol that TV dinner looks rancid huh!? Do you know any of those bloggers personally. Some of them are well similar to you.

Cadbury Big Race Chocolate GET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will give you my expert POV on it later mate. First impressions are that its a lot bigger than I expected it to be.

Steven_F said...

The news page is great Jim. Just make sure you keep it updated for us lol. Can't wait to see your next review. Cheers m8.

No competition this week? Come on jim its been ages since your last one.

You need to start sharing all these chocolates you get, its hard times for us all lol.

Nigel said...

Hey J,

I got my predictions ready for this week.

Wigan 0 vs Man U 4
West Ham 1 vs Liverpool 3

Both of our teams should win today. Even if they are away lol. I can't wait for the Man U and Liverpool game at Anfield. Big Andy is going to be ready for that one :) You better watch out.

Sorry I haven't commented on the reviews this week. I'm going to right now.

Cheers

Mary said...

Can you review the new kit kat pop chocs please? I have also seen a poster for these new caramel cadbury fingers. You deffo need to get some of them.

Daisy said...

I'm loving the news page Jim. Lol I've already been searching for some interesting stories for you to put up but nothing yet.

Dx

Jamie said...

Just my opinion but I think you should post another review if you have a new page for the news stuff.

Unless you bring another thing in these ones are a bit dry for content.

Lauren said...

I did tell you a news site would be a good idea :-) Now all you need is some news to put on it LOL.

I noticed that it has all got a little quiet since you set it up. Typical.

Btw I'm intrigued by the Thorntons and Ritter Sport posts you are promising us next week. Why are they so special?

Linda said...

Thanks for the reviews this week Jim. I will hopefully be buying a pack of those thorntons desserts later on for my dinner party tonight. They should be perfect. Thanks ever so much.

Rodzilla said...

Thanks for the mention, Jim! Great reviews this week..I'm really excited to see what the upcoming Ritter feature is about.

Anne said...

Thanks for another week of interesting reviews. Found the Friday one the most interesting as I did have the Dessert Gallery before and was rather underwhelmed by it myself...

Oh and great idea with the news page!

Speaking of news, Ritter have now announced the final product for the Cookies and Creme creation on their blog:

http://www.ritter-sport.de/blog/?p=6792#more-6792

The chocolate will be a white chocolate with a vanilla flavoured milk creme filling in which there are dark cookie pieces.

They are now looking for a name:
http://www.ritter-sport.de/blog/?p=6802


Now I don't like the Ritter white choclate but I found I love the new Lindt one! The new Lindt Excellence white chocolate bar with Madagascar Vanilla is really good. Sainsbury is selling 2 for £2.50 of the Lindt Execellence bars at the moment (also including the divine caramel crunch bar....)

Dazza said...

The news page is fab. Who came up with the idea?

Alun said...

This weeks reviews were perfectly varied jim. Something new, some unique foreign things and then some British made chocolate. A perfect lot of reviews mate, keep every week like that.

David said...

@Alun couldn't agree more with that. I would add that you should keep to your one bnb posts a week though.

Steven_F said...

There isn't a problem with the mix of the reviews at all. I think he knows what he is doing guys. If I was to say one thing I would ask to see some more hot chocolate reviews. They were great fun when you were doing them.

Nigel said...

Hey J,

I told you man u would win convingly yesterday. Wayne Rooney should of been sent off though that elbowing was disgusting. How the ref didn't see it I don't know.

I'm a bit nervous about today. I hope we rest players for the man u game next weekend :)

Cheers

Review the new snickers bar. I had one yesterday and it was so good.

Jim said...

Hi All

Glad to see the mass approval for the news page. Haha it is typical like you guys say that the news is a little thin on the ground the weekend I decide to make it :D Oh well, I'm sure things will pick up with Easter coming up.

Rachel - I will indeed replace it with another feature. I didn't get time this weekend though sorry.

Kim - Nope I didn't make the news banner. I got a friend to do it! Hes a talented chap huh!?

Golden - Nope I don't have it already. I wish I did though, check out the news page for the latest details.

Nigel - You were near on perfect this week :D You just needed to swap West Ham and Liverpool round haha :D

Mary - No problem. They are both on the radar.

Lauren - Haha aren't all my reviews special?

Anne - Thanks for the Ritter stories, I added them to the news page you may have seen. That Lindt white chocolate bar you mention is currently sitting on my desk. I will be indulging in some of that tonight :D

Dazza - I think Phil did but I may be mistaken.

Anon - http://www.chocolatemission.net/2011/01/january-26th-snickers-maximus.html

Thanks guys. Head to the news page if you have something to contribute!
