Turtles were the beginning of my love for caramel and pecans. I've spent lots of time experimenting with creating my own caramel and pecan desserts, but I always find myself turning back to the classic Turtle. I also love the praline Turtles that you can occasionally find!
They are so popular where I'm from that one year my dad spent four days searching for Turtles in every store in town to use in a Turtle cheesecake and couldn't find them anywhere! Once he finally found them, he found out that he misread his recipe and didn't actually need the Turtle candies! So, we had lots of them to eat for that Thanksgiving instead. It was such a great holiday for sure.
Besides the fond memory I have of them, I also just appreciate the flavours and the textures and I look forward to them every year.

As someone who has worked at multiple Dairy Queen's, I have spent a lot of time working with and eating chocolate bars. Kit Kat continues to be one of my personal favourites.
I have no idea what is actually in the filling of these bars, but it's so tasty. The layer of chocolate on the outside is the perfect thickness, and doesn't let the wafers overpower the overall taste. And, you can still get them very cheap at the Dollarama!

As an adult, I still enjoy eating Kinder Surprise, and the chocolate still tastes just as good as it did when I was a kid. However, I have been more disappointed in the toys in recent years. Part of the fun was always putting something together to make something neat that moves or does something, and recently it seems we've been getting lots of one piece toys. And, I remember also getting a code in it for an online game when I was a kid and I certainly miss that too!
However, the overall product is still just as good as it ever was.

This is one brand of chocolate that I find myself willing to spend more money on. In my opinion, this is a high quality product and it's one that I find myself craving every now and then. It's just not the same to try the knock offs, and I will spend the full price for the real deal.
It's hard not to like chocolate like this: it's creamy, there's a variety of flavours, and it's satisfying.

As previous reviewers have mentioned, I have no idea how it is that they combine the chocolate and orange flavours so well and how it can taste so different from the other orange flavoured chocolates, but both of those statements are entirely true.
This is such a great treat, and it has become a fabulous tradition for my family for Christmas-time, and every year we look forward to receiving our chocolate oranges. I look forward to carrying this on in the future, and I just hope the price doesn't go too far up! It's definitely higher quality chocolate, but I can't justify spending so much money on one chocolate bar!

I used to be a really big fan of Cadbury Creme Eggs, but now I find they're just not the same. They changed the filling that is inside of them, and I'm just not a huge fan of the change. It tastes a little more artificial now, I think.
The price is also increasing, which is a bit disappointing for the size of the candy.

While I wouldn't necessarily consider these to be a higher end chocolate, even though they do have a higher end price, these are pretty tasty, and one of my personal favourites.
The thinner candy coating on the outside doesn't overpower the creamy chocolate on the inside, and they melt away perfectly. Personally, I am a fan of buying off brand versions though, to save some money!

Ferrero Rocher

I'm not sure if I've ever met someone who doesn't like Ferrero Rocher chocolates. I know it can sometimes be a pain to look at the price tag, but when you can spare the extra dollar or two, it's entirely worth it to buy chocolate that is a higher quality. And, these are just that: a higher quality chocolate indulgence.
I'm a big fan of anything with hazelnut in it, which definitely sways my opinion here. The outside wafer and chocolate layer is great, but the most important part is definitely the chocolate-hazelnut filling, and the hazelnut in the middle. It's just so good, and it's definitely a great choice for a special treat!

McDonald's Guacamole and Jalapeno Angus Burger

I wish I could say I don't eat much McDonalds or fast food, but the truth is that I do. That doesn't meant that I don't have standards though.
I had been wishing to try this burger for a while now, since I first saw it available. I am a huge fan of guacamole, as are many people right now, but I am also a huge fan of all things spicy. I couldn't wait to try their take on it.
I got to try it today finally, and I'm happy I did.
The bun is fluffy and slightly chewy, and grilled nicely. The burger tastes like actual meat, which is the reason that I like the angus burgers over others, and it was as expected. The jalapenos were spicy and flavourful, and the guacamole was better than expected. I was very happy they used raw red onion on the burger as it was an important part of the flavour combination. The combination of the guacamole and cheese on the burger was also great.
I really enjoyed the burger and could barely put it down once to take a drink. I would definitely get it again, and I'm happy I tried it.

As a house with four teenage boys, two young adults and two adults, we go through a lot of food. Recently, it has been a lot of yogurt.
We bought this brand and variety of yogurt for the first time recently, and within three days, every single one of them was gone. We have since bought two more packages in the past nine days, and we keep going through them.
This yogurt is just THAT good. Everybody loves it including our pickier kids and I am so happy we found it. It makes a great breakfast or a great snack, and the price is great too! We love the size of these servings as they seem just a little bit larger than what we are used to, and it seems to actually fill the boys up enough for a snack.
All the flavours are great! The vanilla is fresh and light, the field berry is sweet and flavourful, and the peach is also extremely popular.
The yogurt is well-appreciated, and I'm certain it will be a repeated purchase from now on.
