This was a little bar we picked up from Capers Cafe in Rotorua.
Bennetts of Mangawhai 73% single origin from Papua New Guinea.

This is mild to medium strength and quite sweet.  It is has vanilla notes and a homemade chocolate biscuit taste.  It also resembled chocolate sauce.  We saw in the ingredients afterwards that it does include natural vanilla flavour.  Johanan gobbled it up pretty fast.

A new offering from Wellington Chocolate Factory is a Blueberry Milk Chocolate.  The blurb describes it as:
"Handfuls of delicious freeze dried blueberrie are blended with our creamy, organic milk chocolate, leaving you with the lingering taste of blueberries, the taste of summer".

The ingredients says there is 2% of dried blueberry and some natural flavour.  The cocoa solids is at 48%.  We couldn't see any blueberries but we could taste them.  The blueberry is mild, so you can still taste the milk chocolate.  We found it quite well balanced in flavour as we imagined if the blueberry was any stronger with the milk chocolate, it might start to taste a bit bubblegummy.

Blueberries tends to be not our berry of choice.  If there a range of muffins to try, blueberry muffins  will be our last choice.  We wouldn't buy this again, but if you like blueberries, you may like this.  We think it would need more blueberries to go with a dark chocolate.

This was a recent purchase from Capers Cafe in Rotorua.  It looked so pretty we had to grab it.
It has caramilised macadamias, and bits of crystilised ginger in 55% dark chocolate.

We really enjoyed the sweet, slightly crunchy of the caramilised outer of the macadamias. Johanan is not a fan of ginger, but Joni is, and enjoyed the big chunks of it.
It reminded us of home baking, cocoa and ginger.

Some new choccie snacks have caught our eyes at the supermarket, so it is our duty to try them of course!

SNICKERS PEANUT BROWNIE

The chocolate brownie part does taste like cake.  It is very sweet.  Not many nuts.  It was nice.  Johanan prefers this over the original.  Joni prefers the original.

PASCALL JELLY GEMS - TWO TO TANGO AND BANGIN' BERRIES

The Two to Tango are a little jaffa, orangey in flavour.  The Bangin' Berries are a raspberry flavour. Johanan preferred the berry, while Joni preferred the tango.   They are fine but we probably wouldn't buy them again.

​M&Ms COCONUT  

These are inspired by one of Joni's favourite novelty bars, Bounty.  They do have a coconut and chocolate flavour though they don't beat a Bounty.  They were really nice though.  If they were mixed with some plain M&M's Joni would buy that packet over the originals.   As it is, we will just have to buy a packet of each  and mix them for an ultimate M&M munchdown.
