For those of you out of the know Shoppers Drug Mart is a huge
chain of drug stores here in Canada. What Shoppers Drug Mart decided
to do for Christmas time this year was release a line of "fine"
Belgian chocolate. The cool thing about them is that there are
a few really interesting combinations available. This one for
example is pretty fun with a split white and milk chocolate bar
covered in freeze dried strawberries.
The problem with these treats however is that the chocolate really
sucks. I've eaten chocolates in Belgium before and other than
their cheap bargain store stuff this doesn't even hold a candle.
It was waxy and really really hard. The flavour was weak at best;
even the white chocolate didn't have any flavour to it.
On top of all that (literally) the freeze-dried strawberries
tasted like strawberry astronaut ice cream. Sure as a novelty
it's pretty cool but something has to be done about the flavour.
I'm pretty disappointed and I hope if they want this line to survive
they put in a little more effort.
