Terry's All Gold Milk Chocolates Reviewed

As a writer I often have to make sacrifices and do things that are way out of my comfort zone for the sake of my readers, This ensures them that they have a first hand account of the experience or the product being tested, instead of giving a second hand interpretation of an event that I might have saw once saw on television.

This is one of these times where I have made a gigantic sacrifice in the name of research so that my readers don't have to go through such a harrowing experience.

Oh! the humanity, Taste testing a box of chocolates and hoping to give you pleasure from my pain and suffering.

Terry's All Gold Milk Chocolates come in a luxurious looking shiny gold colored box with a giant letter G in brown and blue, making them easy to spot on any store shelf. You open up the lid and you get pictures of the assortment of flavored chocolates with a description of what is in each individual chocolate.

There are nine different flavors of chocolates to choose from in each box,the box contains two layers of twenty chocolates giving you a total of forty chocolates.

The Nine Chocolate flavors include:

• Terry's Hallmark
• Roasted Nut Harvest
• Vanilla Flourish
• Truffle Intrigue
• Caramel Nectar
• Orange Blossom
• Hazel In Gold
• Strawberry Bloom
• Burnished Nut Brulee

Considering that a box of Terry's All Gold Milk Chocolates costs on average $7.00 and contains forty chocolates the average price per chocolate would be around 17.5 cents.

I had a difficult decision to make.

Here in front of me was a full box of chocolates staring longingly at me as if asking me to eat them. To be totally honest with you if I wasn't writing this review about the chocolates I would have pigged out until either the box was finished or until I had my head down the toilet bowl bringing them back up for a second look at them in liquid form.

For the sake of my readers I made a great sacrifice and refrained from my normal chocolate eating habits but I still had to make the decision of which one to eat first.

I wanted to eat them all really I did and I didn't really care in what order so long as they passed my lips and went down my throat.

I made an executive decision for the sake of consistency I would taste the chocolates in the order that they appeared on the inside of the box cover.

People have different tastes and when it comes to filled chocolates everyone has their favorite flavors. During the taste test I give my personal rating out of five and then I give my personal over all rating for the whole box of chocolates.

Terry's Hallmark

Terry's Hallmark is simply a thin disc of milk chocolate, not really much too it but what more can you say it is chocolate, it tastes good and it melts in your mouth but because it is so thin it only gets a low score of 3.

Roasted Nut Harvest

This domed shaped chocolate has a hazelnut flavored creme inside and in my opinion is one of the best chocolates in the box, the chocolate melts in your mouth letting the nutty taste seep through, a delight to savor and take your time eating it has to score a perfect 5.

Vanilla Flourish

For the romantics amongst you this heart shaped chocolate is ideal to share with someone you love, if you are one of those individuals who can actually share chocolate, bight into this one for the best results smooth chocolate and a creamy vanilla fudge centre what more could your taste buds want? I would rate this one a 4 out of 5 but only because there are other flavors in there that I like more.

Truffle Intrigue

Chocolate covering a chocolate truffle in the shape of a clam shell, tastes just like the Hallmark but has a softer chocolate inside, a disappointing 3 out of 5 for this one.

Caramel Nectar

A rectangle shaped chocolate filled with soft caramel and I must admit that in any box of chocolates this is always one that get my taste buds flowing, I love caramel and I love chocolate hence the perfect 5 score.

Orange Blossom

Milk chocolate in the shape of an orange segment means that there is no mistaking the flavor inside this chocolate, bite into the chocolate and find a sweet orange fondant which although tastes great would be sickening if you ate too many of them. a mid score of 3 out of 5 suits this chocolate.

Hazelnut In Gold

If you thought that the Caramel Nectar sent your taste buds into heaven this chocolate takes you to heaven on the wings of angels, milk chocolate with a soft caramel centre and a whole hazelnut in the middle what more could you ask for .I can't give more than a 5 or I would.

Strawberry Bloom

An oval shaped chocolate this time filled with a sweet strawberry fondant, I usually love strawberry but all chocolate manufacturers always seem to make these fruity fondants too sweet and sickly so that you couldn't eat too many of them. 3 out of 5 at a push.

Burnished Nut Brulee

Round Chocolate filled with soft chocolate with hazelnut scrapings, it is what it sounds like chocolate with a nutty taste it tastes great just like it should and rates a 4 out of 5.

On the whole I really enjoyed this box of chocolates and the different flavors and like any box of chocolates that I have eaten I wished that there were more of some flavors and less of others but that is the way that the cookie crumbles.

To rate the entire box I have to think about the quite expensive 17.5 cents cost of each chocolate and each individual flavor and in my opinion Terry's All Gold Milk Chocolates rate a solid 4 out of 5 for overall content.

Knowing that some people will disagree with my personal rating I offer the chance for you to give your over all rating below.
