{great finds} chocolate! part 1

I'm not that adventurous when it comes to chocolate. I have my favorites and I usually just stick with them--Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Kit Kat, Crunch (I can always count on these to satisfy any sudden craving for sweets), and also Guylian Belgian Chocolate and Ferrero Rocher (these are more like rare treats since I usually wait for someone to give them).

But this year I made a few discoveries. I probably wouldn't be adding them to my list of favorites, just yet...but I want to share them with you because I just love how they look! Here's the first of four:

dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and hazelnut chocolate from IKEA

While I was in Singapore a few months ago, I came across these chocolate bars in Ikea. I was already on my way out, disappointed that everything I wanted was too big to take home to the Philippines, when I saw someone unpacking some boxes at the Swedish Food Market, which is near the exit. I didn't know what it was at first, but the packaging appealed to me. So I went to take a closer look and found dark chocolate, milk chocolate and hazelnut chocolate bars with the most simple, straightforward wrappers. I loved it! And since it was less then two Singapore dollars each, i decided to get some for me, and a few more for pasalubong. 

I only got to taste the milk chocolate since I ended up giving most of them away. But my friends say they were good, and from what I had, I would agree. Now, I still have one last bar of dark chocolate but I'm saving it to bake with. I'll let you know how that turns out once I get around to actually baking something.

Have you tried them? Would you know if they're available locally?
