Late Night Snacking For My Blog's Third Birthday


Photo:
     Everyone knows Wawa is a magical place. I stopped at a Wawa recently, intending to get a sandwich, but not turning down the opportunity to sample a Wawa cookie and/ or brownie. Well I ate the cookie too quickly to get a picture, and they were fresh out of brownies. Luckily I plan ahead so I also snagged this little German delicacy.
     This is a pretty straightforward chocolate bar in that someone took a chocolate bar and loaded it with coconut. We can all agree this is a quality combination, not unlike chocolate and peanut, Brady and Belichick, or Jager and Red Bull.

     Now then, there was a slight issue with the handling of this chocolate bar. I attended a rugby match and had to leave this in the car, as I needed a snack for the drive back. What I didn’t plan on was the heat. I know this is silly of me since it was in the mid 80s that day, but when your name has “sport” in it I expect you to keep your cool when things heat up. I couldn’t enjoy my chocolate bar after the game because it was essentially pudding. I had to toss it in the fridge when I got home.

     Day 2, we can finally open the wrapper without having a thick brown fluid coating my pants. Totally worth the wait. Turns out in addition to Oktoberfest, Germans are pretty good at making chocolate. I put this milk chocolate at one of my top three brands, along with Cadbury and Milka. The coconut was light and fluffy with enough texture to leave me yearning for more. And they even got the ratio down perfectly, I assume thanks to decades of experimentation. Also, that OCD square grid is genius. I can keep saying “I’ll have one more” since they’re small enough to not feel guilty over.
     I give this bar a 9/10. Ritter Sport lost one point for not being able to keep together. Otherwise I plan on buying more of these off Amazon.

PS Congrats on your blog's third birthday Andrew!  Gee thanks guys!  Really appreciate all the well wishes today.  It means a lot.
