Ritter Sport Nut Perfection Macadamia Milk Chocolate
Macadamia and chocolate should be a match made in heaven but Ritter Sport’s Nut Perfection Macadamia Milk Chocolate is anything but. The chocolate is too sweet, and the macadamia nut chunks are too small. It should work, but it just doesn’t.

Melting Pot Fudge – Irish Cream Liqueur and White Chocolate
Melting Pot’s Irish Cream Liqueur and White Chocolate fudge is, frankly, one of the most fabulous bits of fudge I’ve ever had. Super soft, full of flavour, absolutely awesome. Shame it’s a bit hard to find!

Willie’s Cafe Negro – Dark Chocolate with Coffee
Willie’s Cafe Negro is supposed to be a dark chocolate tasting of ‘smooth sophisticated coffee’. It’s a hard dark chocolate that doesn’t really taste of coffee and is actually quite unpleasant. Had one bite and threw the rest out.

Kit Kat Peanut-butter bites
Better than the White Chocolate Kit Kat Bites – but not hugely so. Slightly less sweet, but still rather too sweet and not particularly tasting of peanut butter either.

Montezuma’s 37% Smooth Milk Chocolate
Solid reasonably chunky bar, feels good to eat and tastes good as well. What’s not to like – aside from the price? [star rating=”4/5″]
Willie’s El Blanco White Chocolate
I really feel I should like Willie’s chocolate, but I’m always disappointed. I don’t like the slightly greasy mouth feel and strangely spiky crunch of this bar, and while it’s not quite the overpowering taste of condensed milk that some other white chocolate bars, have it’s not that pleasant either. Strangely sweetly sour aftertaste.

Apple: Should you use the iOS 12 betas?
If you have a lot of notifications then YES. Notifications are significantly less irritating and substantially easier to work with and manage. Otherwise iOS 12 feels mostly like a polished version of iOS 11.

Kit Kat White Chocolate Bites
Nasty. I like the Kit Kat Chunky White Chocolate Bars, but these are unpleasant. They’re far far too sweet, too small, and there’s not much bite to them. Avoid.

Lovely Fruity Nutty Crunchy
This should be a great chocolate bar. It has all the ingredients you want – crispy bits, raisins, peanuts, chocolate… but it’s not impressive and not worth £2.25. The chocolate coating’s not thick enough and the whole thing doesn’t have enough bite/chew to it.

Tech: There is no technical solution to a political problem.
Organisations spend a lot of time discussing technical solutions to issues that aren’t actually technical problems: they’re political problems – even if it’s ‘small p’ political problems.

Hazelnut and raisin and dark chocolate? A match made in heaven surely?
But in this bar, this combination absolutely doesn’t work. The raisins and nuts are chopped too finely and are lost in an overpowering dark chocolate which has a surprisingly long bitter after-taste.
