Christmas chocolate in July!? This is madness! THIS…IS…forget it. “3 milk chocolate reindeers with white and dark chocolate decoration”. The dark chocolate is 60% cocoa solids, but as you can see there’s not much of it there, these are mainly milk chocolate based.

So the plastic pack these come in is pretty enough. Inside is another plastic tray with our Thorntons reindeers right there. There’s a spot the difference on the back, and Thorntons mention what cocoa beans they use too (of all the packages to mention it on). West African cocoa beans, primarily Forastero and Trinitario varieties, and 100% cocoa butter and no hydrogenated vegetable oil. How nice of them.

So let’s get stuck in. The dark chocolate is situated on the antlers, and the white chocolate as you can see is the entire head. When eaten all in one the white chocolate comes through with its creamyness, the dark chocolate doesn’t really come through at all. Milk chocolate is obviously the main taste base, and that’s what these taste like.

They’re quite nice, a bit overly sweet and a bit plain, the dark chocolate doesn’t really add much, and it has an uneven distribution between the three types of chocolate. Obviously aimed at children and I can’t see any of them complaining about it, unless we have some budding young chocolate reviewers about. Do we? I’m a bit worried now.
