Title: CHOC-O-VATION AWARDS
Post by: smurfboy on September 27, 2005, 06:21:58 pm

Strictly speaking we should leave this until December, but what the hell, celebs have an awards ceremony every week, why can't we?

Pure and simple -  what do you think is the best new chocolate product of the year. My nominations are below; not in any preference order, some I don't even like - it's purely an opinion poll. If anyone thinks of any I've forgotten please add. Maybe Chocadmin could make it into a proper poll?

Nominations:

Cadbury Dairy Milk with Honey and Almonds

Florida Orange Rolos

Lemon Sorbet After Eights

Irish Cream After Eights

After Eight Straws

Galaxy Promises Range

Pizazz

Kit Kat Editions – Red Berry

Kit Kat Editions – Mango and Passion Fruit

Little Notions

Bendick’s Gorgeous

Terry’s Chocolate Mint

What about the new Aeros and Xploding Smarties bar. Out of your list I would pick the Irish Cream After Eights.

None were innovative so I can't give any an ovation.

Quite frankly, Cadbury need to be taken outside and shot.

I like the Cadbury dairy milk with honey and almonds.

Me too - it's between that and Orange Rolos for my fave. Innovation wise, I think KitKat Editions has to win; in an age where fruity chocolate is treated like the poor relation to nuts and caramel products, they make a welcome change.

I would say Caramac Kit Kat if it was there

Yes Kitkat Editions are quite nice. I'm not sure which I like best - I
loved the seville orange and also like the passionfruit ones.

PS - How about Aero Bubbles?

Were they launched this year or late last year? Actually that's made me want a pack now

This year. I have never been fussed on them myself but they seem very popular especially with the ladies.

I like aero bubbles!



And what about Aero Irish Cream and Aero Sticky Toffee

I think Sticky Toffee should win the award! I'm sure that such a
product has never existed before - toffee flavour bubbles.

Or Caramac Kit Kat or Strawberries and Cream Kit Kat

Strawb and cream Kitkat tasted too sickly and Caramac KK didnt taste of Caramac.

Not surprising as Caramac doesn't taste of Caramac either anymore!
