Hand made from St.Petersburg chocolate store



Expectation:
Hand made and special from the store? Expectations through the roof. But be aware, that every box that we had was different and I only am going to try one of them. Your result may differ!


First impression:
The box is nothing special. But they have made an effort with some design and every piece placed by itself.

Wrapping: 3


How does it look?
The pieces look quite tempting and I could not wait to try one.

Appearance: 5



Is it yum-yum?
No no no. What is this? Do they not know what good chocolate is? Everyone was bad. Disappointing indeed.

Taste: 2


Did I need one more?
I tried four different kinds and I have one more box at home. I will probably give it away to the postman one day he is late delivering my post.

Frequency: 1


Does it cost your shirt?
Hand made and from a chocolate store. Yes it cost a bit so you won't get your moneys worth here.

Value for money: 2


Final statement:
If you go to St.Petersburg try the nice cheese, the ham but stay away from the chocolate stores at Nevskiie Prospect.

Total score: 13/30

Babaevskii - surprising everyone


Expectation:
The bar looks very interesting (in a good way) and I have not tasted many Russian chocolates. Curious is probably the workd that best describe my expectations.


First impression:
The wrapping is good. Nice picture on the cover and like most of this kind it is tempting. Does not stand that much out of the crowd other than it being Russian.

Wrapping: 4


How does it look?

Again good, but not special. Like the size of the pieces that you break this chocolate into. Everyone will get a fair share even if you are a good group of people. If you are alone you get many pieces. ;-)

Appearance: 4


Is it yum-yum?
What is the opposite of yum-yum? This is very close to that! The cinnamon taste does not work at all and you better have something to drink beside this one. This is a taste you want to forget!

Taste: 2


Did I need one more?
Hopefully this will never be a chocolate that I ever will taste again. Hopefully I'll remember it so I don't have to take one by mistake.

Frequency: 1


Does it cost your shirt?
Not expensive, but value for money is not what you get. Give it to the neighbor you dislike.

Price: 2


Final statement:
See it, remember this post and do not buy this one.
