Brand: Côte D’Or Cost: 7 KR Found at: Coop This chocolate is too fancy for me. That is not to say that I do not like it – I can always accustom myself to the finer things in life - but this chocolate goes just a little too far. It evokes a level of... Continue Reading →
Brand: OLW Cost: 9.95 KR Found at: Coop I have gotten into a vicious spiral with these chocolates. I buy one for the blog.

Brand: Cloetta Cost: 7.95KR Found at: Coop The Swedish are very Kex positive. And Kex is very Swedish positive. This chocolate bar is absolutely a Swedish institution.

Brand: Marabou Cost: 8.95KR Found at: Coop Where is the crisp? WHERE’S THE CRISP?! I don’t mean to sound ungrateful, but I feel like I must have misunderstood the underlying message of this candy bar. I thought that by biting into a Crisp bar, that I might get - I don’t know -... Continue Reading →
