TASTE TESTING NIAGARA CHOCOLATE'S DECADENT VARIETIES

Disclosure: I received Niagara chocolates from Tryazon in order to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own. I may collect a share of sales from the links on this page if you decide to shop from them.

            Whenever I feel for a sweet treat, I usually chose something chocolate flavored. Hence, I was delighted to taste test a wide variety of Niagara Chocolates. Overall, I found these chocolates have a similar rich creamy flavor of Cadbury Milk Chocolate Buttons.

            The milk and dark chocolate bars taste like what I expect from a higher quality standard plain chocolate bar. If you are a person who does not like dark chocolate, then this one would be a great one to try as it is not bitter like most I have tasted. The salted almond clusters and bar taste even better than the plain dark chocolate, as the nuts with salt gives it a delicious combination of sweet and just a hint of saltiness, while adding a crunchy texture. On the other hand, the sea salt caramel cups has a more distinct salty kick to it, which made it the perfect dual salt and sweet combo. The salt being a more apparent in flavor made it really tasty and enjoyable to savor the chocolate cup one bite at a time.

            The roasted peanut clusters were generously packed with peanuts. The peanut butter cups and the peanut butter bar are two more peanut based chocolate candies that I sampled. I preferred the bar version because the texture of the chocolate was softer, which made it a more a melt in your mouth experience.

            The toasted coconut clusters reminded me of a biscuit less Japanese Pocky snack, which is a basically a biscuit often dipped in chocolate. The almond toffee bar was one of my favorites, since I really like toffee. A close second is the chocolate lovers cups as it had the most interesting flavor combination to me: a milk chocolate cup containing a smooth dark chocolate center.

            Overall, I really like the taste of these decadent chocolates. Obviously they are quite rich and sweet that a little goes a long way. So it's really just for times when you feel for a sweet treat to pop in your mouth. Perhaps, after a meal because you are too full to eat a big dessert or you need a sugary sweet  to give you a burst of energy on a study or work break. One or two pieces broken off the chocolate bar or a couple of the chocolate cups seems about the right portion. Anymore and I get a big sugar rush. In that case, I really appreciate the re-sealable bags. That way,  I can grab a couple for a yummy snack and reseal the bag to keep the chocolates fresh for later.

Ript Apparel T-shirts

Disclosure: I received t-shirts from Ript Apparel in order to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own. I may collect a share of sales from the links on this page if you decide to shop from them.

            As a Ript Reaper brand ambassador for Ript Apparel who loves pop culture and fashion, I've been busy having a good time picking out their new t-shirt styles and wardrobe styling them with things from my closet. Artist driven company Ript Apparel makes unique limited edition graphics printed onto a variety of products, including posters and T-shirts. Every day they offer 3 designs to online shoppers starting at $14. In particular, the company offers  t-shirts in a variety of colors to choose from. In my free time, I like to find and sample different desserts. I also love to dress up to match the theme of where I'm going or eating. Therefore, I thought it would be a lot of fun to match my Ript Apparel t-shirts with the themed foods I try.

            The 1st of four t shirts that I selected is called The Hakuma Agumata women's premium in dark chocolate. I like that the artwork is a mash up of Digimon and the Lion King. I didn't have time to pick up a dessert that day, but it was a comfy style to wear to work in my parents' entertainment law office. I'll wear it again when I find another interesting themed dessert to try.

            The 2nd t-shirt is the Hello Dingus in Navy. I really enjoyed the aesthetic of the Scoops Ahoy store and sailor outfit from the Netflix show Stranger Things, so this was a fun graphic themed t-shirt to wear on a visit to the ice cream store where I found a stars, stripes, & sprinkles flavor.

            The 3rd t-shirt I chose is called the Sailor Meow premium t-shirt in white. I wore it to get a strawberry super moon donut because I thought it was an appropriate graphic that goes with the donut's celestial theme. I also think that the sailor scouts re imagined as cats is really kawaii.

             The 4th t-shirt is called the Hazelnut Fusion women's in heavy gray. I thought this graphic was clever how they are demonstrating  nutella ingredients are fusing like they do in Dragon Ball Z to become extra powerful. I had a blast styling this t-shirt to match my nutella strawberry soufflĂ© cup dessert. Stay tuned for my next batch of Ript Apparel clothing items.
