Marabou Crunchy Corn

This flavour is new in Sweden for the 2012 autum.
Crunchy Corn could be a thanksgiving flavour?
maybe it is more of a halloween flavour, but halloween is over.
So we will have to make do with this flavour for thanksgiving.

This is a milk chocolate based bar filled with roasted crunchy corn.
Marabou used to have a chocolate bar called Amigo.
It was a milk chocolate bar filled with crunched corn chips.
I really liked that one. Will this live up to its predecessor?

Now, I do not really like roasted corn.
I think it builds up in your mouth and the aftertaste is weird.
But combined with chocolate?



It has a regular smell of Marabou chocolate.
By which I mean, it smells like chocolate, but sweeter.
There is also a secondary smell of corn.
The smell is, well, not that pleasing.

Maybey the flavour will take home the price?
Or maybe not...
I was completely sold when it comes to the Amigo version.
But here? The flavours does not mix, but then again they do.
It is like eating something good and bad at the same time.
The chocolate is good.
And the corn is good (well kinda, sometimes).
And the chocolate and the corn together is bad (but sometimes good).
You can tell I am not really clear what I think about it.

Have a great thanksgiving!

Japp Hazelnut [Limited Edition]

Sweden is starting to get it.
Chocolate should come in lots of different flavors and special/limited editions.
The regular Japp consists of chocolate marange and soft fudge covered in milk chocolate and it has been the same since it was released in 1947.
It was originaly supposed to be called Japs, which was short for Japanese during World War 2.
Thankfully they chose to drop the S and use another P.
Anyway, this isn't about the original Japp, this is about the Limited Edition with hazelnut.

Everyone likes Hazelnut?
The correct answer is: Nutella is made from hazelnuts...

It doesn't really smell like hazelnut, I think the chocolate is the prominent smell here.
It tastes like the regular Japp, but it also has a nutty flavor and an after taste of Nutella.
It's really a great and lovely taste.
There's nothing more to say, if you can get your hands on this version of the Japp, do it...
Buy as many as you can. They are really good.

Marabou Loop

This is new for 2011, from Swedish candy company Marabou.
And boy is this chocolate bar boring...

Standard toffee coated with milk chocolate.
The taste is boring, the toffee get stuck everywhere in your mouth.
The only "fun" thing is the design of the bar itself.
A loop, like the name, duh! but that doesn't save this fiasko.

I'm betting they won't be around for long.
