Sugar Savvy

We review quite a bit of sugary confections here at Sugar Savvy, but these three newbies have yet to cross our desks (hint, hint).  Before our own delectable morsels arrive, we’re going to have to take Food & Wine’s word for it as they deemed these three new chocolates of the “must try” variety:
“Square Turtles.  […]

Again with the Das Caramelini … they keep sending and we keep reviewing (and chewing).  (Enter “das” in the search field our our site here to see 6 previous reviews of Das salted caramels in a variety of flavors.)
To avoid redundancy, I will simply say that the remarks and opinions put forth with regard to the other […]

A few weeks ago, there was a plate full of Lindt Chocolates at work. Before all of them were gone, I grabbed the perfectly wrapped balls of truffle chocolates.
I tried the gold wrapped one first. It had white chocolate hard shell with creamy white chocolate in the middle. The red one was even more […]

Before 1990, all there was to Hershey’s kisses was the classic milk chocolate drops wrapped in silvery foil. Then came a few changes in the line-up, such as Almond, Mini and Hugs. However, in the last four or five years, Hershey’s has been giving us new, limited editions of one of the quintessential chocolate candies of America. Some of them have been so […]

Magic in your mouth. That’s the way Wheeler’s Black Label describes itself, with no hint at modesty or shyness, proclaiming superiority in a fiercely competitive field. A bold move from this newborn company, facing up against the big boys like Häagen-Dazs and Baskin Robbins without so much as flinching. This apparent lack of tact would […]

When I was told that a sample Galaxy dark bar was on its way to me in the mail, I never expected the 125 g (4.4 oz) behemoth that finally arrived. It was ginormous!
The bar’s wrapper reminded me of Dove chocolates. A quick Googling revealed that Galaxy and Dove are actually the same company. It’s […]

A strawberry covered in dark chocolate is an absolute must order for me if I see it on a dessert menu. This is why when I received a sample of “Emily’s Dark Chocolate Covered Mixed Berries,” I just about screamed in girlish glee. The product comes ready for gift-giving in a pea-green colored box with an […]

Over the course of my life, I have taken in no small amount of toffee – of the butternut crunch genre.  From Almond Roca to Lula’s, to See’s -  I rarely miss an opportunity to sample an English, California, or whatever they want to name it, nut and butter based toffee, coated with chocolate and then […]

Chocolate is my greatest love, but ice cream is a close second. The new year has brought some new varieties to try.
Baskin Robbins is celebrating Valentine’s Day with two seasonal flavors: SuperFudge Truffle and Love Potion #31. SuperFudge Truffle is chocolate ice cream with toffee and chocolate ganache. Love Potion #31 is white chocolate and […]

The winter holidays and candy and dessert excesses are over, Valentine’s Day and its assortment of sweets is around the corner.  In between, I’m trying to indulge in my taste for chocolate without adding to my waistline. 
One product I tried is Bubble Yum with Genuine Chocolate Flavor.  This bubble gum, which is made by the […]
