Nestlé Chocolate Log
Another South African bar! I’ve only ever reviewed one before and I’m kinda excited to review another. Kinda…actually ya know what, I’m not, this bar is a disgrace, read on.
So it’s billed as “creamy marshmallow on crisp wafer covered in milk chocolate”. Marshmallow on wafer? Marshmallow on bloody wafer? Could there be a more tasteless combo? How about cracker on ricecake, I think that would be a challenger.
Well at least there’s one good thing about this, the chocolate is rippled! Right? Right? Wrong, the chocolate is cracked, cheap and cracked. See that white stuff at the end of the bar? That’s where the marshmallow leaked out, got stuck to the inside of the wrapper and then stuck back to the chocolate, making it a mess to pull out, plus the bar was already broken like that when I got it. Ugh…
As for the taste, it’s so average. Pitifully average, despairingly average. It’s marshmallow on wafer with Nestlé’s world renowned (lol) chocolate covering it, that says it all. As for that sticky bit at the end, it made me wretch, I don’t know why I ate it, the marshmallow had gone bad or something, just abysmal.
What more do I need to say? If you still want to eat this for enjoyment’s sake and not for review purposes or for some other funny reason, then I hope this bar gives you some sort of illness, you’d deserve it for not listening to me.

so you liked it then. definitely getting me some of that nestle goodness. seriously though, i cannot STAND when bars are poorly manufactured so that the filling sticks to the wrapper. wrong wrong wrong. even for nestle, this looks bad – it looks like one of those brands of chocolate in a pound shop that you’ve never heard of and never will again

“it looks like one of those brands of chocolate in a pound shop that you’ve never heard of and never will again.”
Obviously ur never gonna hear of it again, it’s a South African candy! If you go to South Africa it’s sold everywhere (I should know my Mum’s from there). It’s also sold in a number of places in Australia. I actually love Chocolate Logs, I think they taste fantastic.

instead of buying it to be imported perhaps go to south africa and buy it? and for the taste,i gotta say its probably one the best tasting bars a company could produce although ive not tried all chocolate bars in the world i would still rate this simplistic bar 8/10 and for your ridiculous banter its quite funny to read

I’m from SA, and live in Texas now. The Chocolate Log happens to be my FAVORITE chocolate of all! This review is absolutely wrong!

Hey I agree with Kim and Vicki – best chocolate EVA….the problem is that it does not travel well, so Dale you are absolutely right – they are best eaten fresh from the factory – in SA. And NO Terry don’t go to SA you are undeserving of the joy that an exqisite chocolate log can bring…
