I have been cutting down on doing product reviews since 2014 and what more with baby #4 on the way this end of year, all the more I need to be particularly picky and selective with the products that I'm reviewing. Not that I'm trying to be hard sell, no, definitely not! But with 3 kiddos + 1 on the way, being a housewife at home with kiddos all the time and helping out with hubby's business, I just feel it is not fair to make companies and PR reps wait for my reviews while I slowly review and look for time to spare to draft out my feedback you know? But of course, like I said, I have to be selective, so products that we can definitely fit into our family dynamics (especially books on parenting or homeschooling stuff, family products, something along those genre) will be accepted!
When I received an email asking whether I would be interested to review a range of chocolate spread products carried by Delfi. After browsing through their website and seeing the potential on how I can incorporate the food products into our family, I decided to go ahead with the review.
About the products:
"Delfi Chocolate spread comes in a variety of flavors and are made from the finest ingredients. It serves as a delicious, quick and easy yet nutritious breakfast option.
Other than the chocolate spread, there are also the ChaCha chocolate shells (comes in milk chocolate or with peanut also there is mini sizes that is very cute and quick treats for the kiddos) that you can consider as well!"
I received the following products for our review:
The first item that I reviewed is the ChaCha milk chocolate candy shell in mini sizes! So darn cute and comes in convenient bottle tubes that is easy to open and close. Quick treats on the go for the kiddos! It finishes up very fast though since I've got 3 kiddos and I tried to ration out the candies by only giving them when they have done certain chores or finished up their homework.
The next item that I reviewed is the ChaCha milk chocolate candy shell and ChaCha Peanut candy shell. The milk chocolate candies are not too sweet, is just like the mini ones but of course, bigger in sizes and there are various colors as well. The Peanut version is the same except the filling is peanut (no skins) and I gave a few packets to our accountants to try and they said it was good, not too sweet and definitely much cheaper than the other brands around in the market.
The last few items that I reviewed are of course the chocolate spread. I was given 4 flavors to try out: Choco Hazelnut and Milk Spread, Rich Choco Spread, Double Hazelnut Spread and Choco Hazelnut Spread.
The first thing I take note when it comes to reviewing food products is of course the safety of the products. Each chocolate spread glass bottle comes sealed tightly in a gold foil layer that you can peel off with ease. The moment I peeled off the first bottle, rich chocolate-y and nutty smell fills the air... mmmm....
I proceeded to try out each chocolate spread. The Choco Hazelnut and Milk Spread in my personal opinion is a bit too sweet for my liking but I like the milky taste. The Double Hazelnut Spread did not disappoint as it has a rich hazelnut taste, yumsss.
The hazelnut is much milder in the Choco Hazelnut Spread bottle but it has a richer taste in chocolate though. I personally like this flavor and has been shamelessly treating myself to a spoonful or two every now and then.
Lastly, the Rich Choco Spread as the name goes, taste a bit bitter for the chocolate and stronger compared to the rest of the flavors.
Overall, each has its own distinct strengths and plus points so I guess it is up to the individual's preference on taste and flavors.
In summary, yummylicious and value for money range of products that you can consider for your family!
Delfi Choco spread and ChaCha milk chocolate candy shell are Halal which are currently available in all retail supermarkets across Malaysia.
