Hi All,
So another week passes on ChocolateMission and I hope you lot were pleased with the reviews you got this week.
Following on from the packages I got from Hotel Chocolat etc the week previous, I this week managed to lay my hands on some goodies from Ritter Sport, American Soda and Thorntons. I don't want to spoil the review, but the Thorntons Liqueur chocolate provided a rather humorous evening ... that stuff is way, way to easy to drink :D :D
Apart from celebrating Manchester United's 19th Premier League title (sorry I had to drop that in there!!) it has been a relatively quiet week for me. Good luck to the United lads versus Barcelona tomorrow - lets hope we are toasting victory with pints of Thorntons Liqueur chocolate (the thought of that makes me feel queasy haha).
Want to know what to expect for this Bank Holiday week? Well Monday will see the return of Hotel Chocolat, Wednesday will see the ChocolateMission debut of a well known UK chocolatier, and lastly Friday you should be getting my low down on the latest Ritter Sport offering.
Have a top Bank Holiday weekend - Please take a look over to the newspage for the latest Chocolate covered news :D

SNACK OF THE WEEK ..... a new part of '7Days of Chocolate Reviews' which will feature any manner of snacking product I have been products munching on in the week
Kcal 49 Fat 0.0g (per 100ml)Well isn't this all a bit clever eh!? I've flipped the tables on yesterdays drink flavoured chocolates, with the 'Snack of the Week - a chocolate flavoured drink :D A stroke of genius come on :D Taking the limelight in '7Days of Chocolate Reviews' Edition 74 I present to you the Suntory Sparkling Chocolate Soda.
A few days ago I gratefully received 6 bottles from my pal Peter at J-list who insisted I try out these 'cool new sodas' that he was selling on the site. Now we all know I normally don't review drinks, however I sort of broke those rules with my Hot Chocolate reviews earlier in the year. After a short duration in the fridge I cracked open one of these and poured the contents into a glass as pictured above. I don't like my fizzy drinks too highly carbonated - this Suntory offering was just about right and I was pleased with the level of fizz. Taste wise the drink had a strong vanilla led flavour set (very much like cream soda), however there was definitely a suggestion of chocolateyness left in the mouth once it had slipped down.
Overall it was a unique tasting soda that was on the whole enjoyable and thirst quenching. Would it replace my normal choice of fizzy drink? ... the almighty Pepsi Max? Probably not, but I would see it as a more than viable option if I did fancy something a little different.
7.2 out of 10

Now you think about it, its surprising that someone like coca cola has never made a chocolate flavored fizzy drink it. They don't really make different flavours anymore, they always used to
Great reviews this week hun. I liked them anyway :) Good luck with the football.

The only news story I can find is on cadburys launching the allure flake Jim.
Apart from that its all very quiet chocolate news wise. Thanks for the reviews.
I had no idea you wrote about chocolate drinks aswell!!!!!
Can you review some milkshakes please. Im talking about the shop bought ones likes Frijji, Yazooo and supermarket ones. Go on, you know you want to ;P
I'm intrigued to see who this UK chocolatier is. Can we have some clues lol.
Have an awesome weekened mate.
woop woop Hotel Chocolat Mondays are back :) :) :) I can't wait to see what to see what you have in store for us. I'm so desperate to see some reviews of the new slabs. The cherry one sounds amaze.
Theres no need to ask if we enjoyed the posts this week fella. Can't you tell from the msgs you always get from us.
People wouldn't bother posting if they didn't think it was worth it. Keep up your good work m8.
COME ON BARCELONA!!!!!!!!
When I saw the title of chocolate flavoured soda I straight away thought about Soda Streams. Anybody remember them?
They used to be so popular back when I was small. We used to make tons and tons each day. I wonder if you can still buy them?
Here is one you will like Jim :-)

"Is chocolate Healthy for you"
LOL!!!
Since when has snack of the week been allowed to be a drink? I think you should keep it to edible things personally.
Theres no excuses now J. If you can review chocolate sodas then you can review ice creams.
Give the peeps what they want dude.
p.s. Good luck to man u this weekend. for once im prepared to want to see them win something lol.
Is the new ritter sport bar the cherry one? It sounds fab to me. I look forward to your review of it. I love cherries mmm.
LMAO they really will just try anything on wont they? Chocolate fizz pop? I'm sure it is something the kids might go for, but I think those days are well gone for me. Chocolate cocktails? Now we are talking :)
Why dont you ever respond to me when I ask about your next competition? You never do any now. You must have so much free chocolate to give away.
Top work again all week mate. I love the balance of the reviews you are doing now. I think you have the mix of Brit/foriegn just right. Keep up the outstanding blog.
I swear either pepsi or coke did a chocolate flavour once. Google hasn't come up with anything though. Perhaps I am imagining it.
PREDICTION
Man u 2 Barcelona 3
Sorry Jim but I think they are just too good.
Well this sounds intriguing lol and better than I thpught it would aswell, it sounded a horrible proposition.
@Ed yes Soda Streams are still going, theyve relaunched a couple of times in the last few years to make them more appealing to modern buyers, with new flavours, better ingredients etc
Looking forward to next weeks reviews Jim, Ritter and Hotel Choc especially.
That chocolate water sounds...interesting. Years ago some brand brought out some chocolate favoured water in the UK, but it wasn't very nice as I recall, tasted artificial.
I laughed at the Naomi Campbell/Cadbury fiasco. I mean how daft is she? If anything she's proved that she's a diva by causing such a fuss about it.
No news this week :( You should have put something else in here Jim.
Mmmm yummy. Chocolate flavoured pop sounds brill.
Go on Man U! Do it for Jim :-)
Lol i have no clue what this is all about but I hope they win for you.
This review is pretty interesting! I think reviewing different types of unexpected chocolate products keeps the blog interesting. I'm going to Japan in July, I'll probably keep an eye out for this drink!
@Phil - my thoughts exactly. What a lot of nonsense. Unfortunately in this day and age people jump on the slightest thing when really no such thing was even intended.
