I received these for the product review club and likely wouldn't have purchased them on my own. While I am usually a European chocolate lover (Lindt, Cremant, Mon Cheri), I was pleasantly surprised by these. I preferred the milk chocolate ones, I guess the mousse just went a little better with them. For the price, they are well worth it!
I tried these chocolates thanks to the product review club. I love chocolates and these were fantastic! Shared with the family and they all loved it too. I usually prefer dark chocolate and these were really tasty and not very bitter, but i have to say that the milk chocolates were sooo good. They weren't too sweet, the mousse in the middle gave it a nice creamy texture, and they were just melt in your mouth delicious!
I received the nestle noir milk chocolate through the product review club. When I originally read about it I assumed it would be similar to the lindor chocolates which I am a total sucker for. It turned out they had a very different consistancy than I expected. The chocolate outter shell was as expected but the mousse inside was firmer than typical filling.
I hadn't intended to but ended up sharing the majority of the box with my boyfriend. While I prefer a chocolate that melts quickly, he prefered the mousse as it was far more similar to eating a solid piece of chocolate. Nonetheless, I thought they were delicious. Creamy, smooth & melt in your mouth. While I may not buy them for myself, I'm certain that my boyfriend (who devoured them) probably will. Definately a great value for the price.
The only downside (as others have mentioned) is that the box doesn't reseal and, once opened, never recloses properly. The upside is that you have to eat them quickly so they don't go stale. Any excuse to eat them fast is a good reason for me...
So in the end, good for girls who prefer solid chocolate and want something that will take a little longer to melt in your mouth.
When I first heard about this product, I was expecting it to be like a truffle type of chocolate on the inside. This was not the case, but that is not a bad thing. I would compare the "mousse" part of the chocolate to have a marshmellow like consistency. I was quite pleased that the mousse had a very similar taste to the chocolate on the outside. I have found that frequently when the inside of the chocolate is a different type of consistency the taste is different.
I am not a huge dark chocolate fan, and the mousse inside is supposed to be dark chocolate. However I really could not tell that it was. It was not bitter at all, which I have found dark chocolate to be.
My only issue with this chocolate is the price. Though you do get 10 pieces in the package, I think that $4 is a bit much for this. But it would be nice for a treat once in a while, or if you want something different than the regular chocolate bars.
Overall, I would certainly purchase this product and would recommend it to my friends!
I received this chocolate as part of the product review club in both the Milk and Dark chocolate varieties. I was intrigued with the Mousse filling as it would be interesting to see how the different textures would affect the experience.
The quality of the chocolate is acceptable but I found the mousse to be more spongy rather than airy and creamy (which is what I was expecting). I found the milk chocolate variety a little too sweet (but that’s just my opinion). I have to admit that the chocolate is not as high quality as Lindt or Michel Cluizel but it also isn’t as pricey either.
However, the packaging is impressive. It comes in a deep set box with each chocolate in its own little compartment. And at $3.99/box, it's quite reasonable. The chocolates are rich so that you won’t be able to eat the whole box in one sitting (I can only take 2 maximum at a time).
It's more expensive than your typical candy bar, but the mousse makes it different and they are pre-portioned so you can just enjoy one piece at a time. I think Nestle has hit a good niche – somewhere between regular candy bars and imported brands with a price point that reflects it. Perfect for a small, decadent and affordable treat!
When I got these in the mail, I was surprised at how cute the packaging was! There are 10 chocolates ordered nicely in a flip-open box. The box also has a tab to close the flap afterward, when you went to set the rest aside for later. I really like the look of it. It makes it seem like it is some sort of specialty gourmet chocolates.
$3.99 seems to be pretty pricey for what it is, but then again these 10 pieces are filling and you're probably paying more for the nice packaging than the chocolate.
These chocolates are a decent size, not too big, but not small enough to need more than one in a sitting. This particular box was filled with chocolates which had a hard milk chocolate shell, with a soft dark chocolate mousse in the centre. I liked the contrast between the two, and the mousse was a very nice touch, but the chocolate in general was nothing to rave about. Despite the look, it wasn't really a gourmet chocolate, and although it wasn't the worst chocolate I've had, it wasn't the best either. It was fairly average, a bit of a step up from a chocolate bar, but definitely not as good as gourmet chocolates.
What I do like is that these chocolates are filling. You're not going to pop a whole bunch into your mouth in one sitting. You'll want to have 1 or 2 and save the rest for later. It would be a perfect treat for dessert after a meal. This is also the kind of treat you could give to someone as a little gift.
As these chocolates seem to be completely average to me, I would still recommend them, because chocolate is chocolate. It's still good. I would probably buy this again.
The packaging is quite attractive and makes the chocolate special - this would be a nice gift for a stocking stuffer.
The price is a bit high, but there are 10 pieces, and I couldn't eat more than 3 in one sitting - lots to save for later. So overall, I think it's good value for the price. And because the packaging is so nice, it really seems like a treat.
Even though this is a milk chocolate, there is a bit of dark chocolate in the centre, but it's still really yummy.
I really enjoyed this chocolate, and would definitely recommend it.
Hmmm... yummy.
I'm loving the milk chocolate. The mousse centre is really nice and creamy but you also get the hard coating too. The flavour is rich enough that I can satisfy with my chocolate cravings with 1 (maybe 2) pieces.
This is a step up from a regular chocolate bar. Bit of an indulgence. There's only 10 pieces in a pack so I think that the price is a bit high, but nice as a special treat.
I receieved this in the mail on Friday as part of the Product Review Club. I was going to wait for the perfect moment to try it, in the perfect setting (I take chocolate very seriously), but I didn't want to wait. So I tried it on Saturday.
I'm generally not a huge fan of milk chocolate, but this was pretty good. It wasn't as sweet as other milk chocolate I've had in the past, which I appreciated. The mousse inside was amazing. I like that it's a dark chocolate mousse as opposed to milk chocolate. It balances out the milk chocolate nicely and creates a nice mix of sweet and not as sweet.
The soft mousse combined with the hard outer shell is a good combination. I would definitely recommend it others try it.
The packaging is cute, but that flap thing you're supposed to close it with is kind of frustrating. I guess I pulled too hard trying to detach it because it tore off entirely. So now I'm just keeping the box closed with an elastic.
I received both the milk and dark but being a pretty huge fan of milk chocolates, i decided to taste and review it first and have to say i definitely Love the milk chocolate one!
the packaging was also really neat and "organized" as each piece of chocolate is settled and secured in its own "box", and it wasnt messy to eat either! the mousse is soft but not runny :)
The contrast between the soft mousse insides and hard-chocolate shell was a bit too contrasting for me though, but some others may like the feeling of two totally different textures combining. I just personally didnt like the texture contrast too much as i felt it was Too contrasting, but thats just me
Another downer is that there should be more chocolate in the package! I expected a bit more than 10 pieces, but then again, they're pretty big pieces so I guess it will satisfy most and that im just a bit of a pig when it comes to chocolate :P
Overall, it was a pretty great chocolate (besides the mousse, the taste isnt anything out-of-the-ordinary in terms of chocolates but if you haven't tried it yet, i insist you buy a box and try!) and I would def pick up a box again once i see it on the shelves. I also reccommend it for milk chocolate lovers b/c it was very satisfying : )
