Swedish chocolate tour.

Day-um. It was caramel-y and crunchy and kind of stuck in your teeth. It tasted sort of familiar but I couldn't pinpoint it.

Tasted a bit like a strawberry freddo.

Much like a Kit Kat but the chocolate was creammier. I felt that the name 'Sport' implied that this bar should be tasted on-the-go so I made sure to stand on a travelator and stuff my face while people quickly walked past me.

It had this fluffy melt-in-your-mouth texture with bits of fruit in it. Not sure what to compare this to.

Tasted a bit like a Bounty but the centre was smoother rather than such a choking-on-bits-of-coconutexperience. Really, this chocolate is probably nothing to write home about but I must include it.

This had a soft liquorice caramel-y centre which was unfamiliar to me but actually tasted really nice.

I ate this with a strong black coffee before photographing it. I don't remember it very well. I feel nothing after experiencing the endless joy of Pet Shop Boys.

And so we venture into the world of Daim ice-cream. It was sort of like a choc top with a strawberry ice-cream filling with little bits of crunchy chocolate throughout. It should also be mentioned that the inner part of the cone had a light chocolate coating.

I originally picked this up because I thought the meringues looked like bulbs of garlic and I thought how fascinating the flavour combination of garlic and chocolate would be. Alas, this was not the case and in reality it was just really sweet and sort of sickly.

This had a soft salty liquorice centre and I can't decide whether I liked it or not. It was such a mix of sweet smooth chocolate outside and then strange salty centre.
