My lovely online friend +BringBack Banjo Chocolate (shortened to BBBC from now on!) sent me a gorgeous selection of chocolates and wafers. Please check out her campaign to bring back the much missed Banjo Chocolate Bar that was discontinued by Mars in the 1980s. Check out the campaign Facebook page HERE for more details.
E.Wedel Mleczna Z Calymi Orzechami - Translates as Luxury Milk Chocolate with Whole Hazelnuts. This chocolate bar was just sensational, it was so simple but extremely delicious.
The milk chocolate is definitely of the sweet and mainstream variety, but it has a lovely creamy flavour. However, the whole hazelnuts are the real star here - they are just so crunchy and fresh tasting. I haven't had a Cadbury Whole Nut in many years but I don't remember them tasting as lovely as this one by E.Wedel. Definitely one to look out for if you have a local Polish shop.
Fin Carré Dark Chocolate Ginger: Some of you may recognise the Fin Carré name as being part of the Lidl brand. I've tried a few chocolates from their ranges before and they've always been surprisingly good, especially considering the low prices.
With this Dark Chocolate Ginger, the lovely BBBC, has sent me another stunner of a chocolate. The flavours are all excellent, from the smooth dark chocolate without any bitter edge, to the gorgeously indulgent pieces of ginger. The combination here is just heavenly and just a few pieces are enough to satisfy a chocolate craving. Definitely worth a try if you like ginger!
Mamba: BBBC also sent me a little pack of Mamba sweets. I've never heard of this brand before but they're apparently a German creation that were originally launched in 1953. The packaging shows an apple inter spliced with watermelon - definitely an interesting flavour combination. These taste really sweet and fruity, especially from the apple flavour, and have a softly chewy texture.
Many thanks to Bring Back Banjo Chocolate for sending me these wonderful treats. Please don't forget to check out the Facebook page here and sign the petition here! Thank you :)
Grześki and Prince Polo om nom nom nom! Love it, but both in classic version :)
ReplyDeleteA fantastic selection as always from the lovely BBBC :) Your description of that Wedel bar makes me want one...I'm sure I've seen it in Tesco, shall keep my eye out!
ReplyDeleteThank you Katherine for the #BBBCB mentions - much appreciated! Also to Kev for the great compliment! I must buy the Wedel hazelnut choc bar as must admit have never tried it. I do love the Prince Polo hazelnut bar as it reminds me a bit of Banjo chocolate ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't like Wedel :/ This chocolate is so bad but Grześki is the best! My favourite flavour is toffi and rasberry in white chocolate (limited edition) :)
ReplyDeleteE. Wedel used to be a high class chocolate manufactor, first in Poland by the way. Then in 2010 sold to some big concern and they products get way worst. How sad it's that, when such big parts of country history joining huge concern and then they loosing all of them magic :(
DeleteI'm from Poland so I know this :( E. Wedel was amazing but now...this is not same.
DeleteI first tasted the Fin Carre Chocolate Ginger a few weeks ago and thought it was amazing. The best chocolate ginger I've ever had! I went back into the shop a couple of days later as they were closing and spoke to the manager and another chap - neither of them could remember having such chocolate in the shop and tried to persuade me I'd bought it from another shop! I kept telling them it was in a bright green wrapper but no, they'd no idea. I've been in the shop numerous times and it's not there, nor is there any label on the shelves. Until I find it I can only dream of that amazing taste!
ReplyDeleteAh that's a shame! I hope you can find it at another store. It's such a delicious chocolate!
