(We don't remember it.)
Montblanc
Caramel Corn
Omg this one was so great. It was caramelly and had a little bit of saltiness to it, just a bit. Shelley got a crunchy part. I'm jealous :(
P.S. the decor on this one was weird... it looked like a perfectly yellow thing that a bird had pooped on
Berry Streusel
(We don't remember it.)
Montblanc
Quote from: ShelleyJapanese ppl don't know what a Montblanc tastes likeWe only had montblanc in Japan and it was weird. This tasted nothing like that.
Quote from: ShelleyThere was something sparkly in the Montblanc, and a lot of really thin swirl layers. I don't know how they did it.

Quote from: ShelleyIt was nice. Nothing to gasp about.
Berry Streusel
Quote from: ShelleyTastes like a Christmas wreath with the little berries. There's spices like cinnamon or something. I don't like it.I love this one, it's very refreshing

Yep, tastes like Earl Grey
Opera Cake
I've never had an opera cake. It had a really almond-y, dark flavour. Not that much depth this time?

Quote from: ShelleyDoesn't taste like weedYeah, Earl Grey stuff always has a kind of marijuana-y flavour to us... this was good though.

Quote from: ShelleyI don't think it captures 'opera' but it's a damn good round ball thing

Not Shelley's thing, but i loved it! The combination of maple and pecan tasted very familiar, very rich, not overly sweet. As with the previous chocos, the flavours feel very distinct and i felt a sense of moving between them through time... I'll need to note the order next time...

Quote from: ShelleyThis is the first chocolate I've had where the flavour of mint... blends with the flavour of chocolate... instead of, here's mint, and here's chocolate. You can actually call this, "minty chocolate."

Quote from: Shelley* First it was sweet, nice texture, crunch, smooth
* Then it was, wait, really sophisticated chocolate or nut tasting
* And then a little spark of salt came in
* And then something else I forgot
* Then it all melted together! Every single component melted together with my spit
* Yum yum yum yum yum.
* I'm gonna cry! It was so good
