Japanese Chocolates & Other Sweets: Review of Tirol Mix 8 Chocolate Candy Pack

Here's a video review for my first taste of Tirol Chocolates.

I'm a new fan of Tirol chocolates! A product and company I'd never even heard of before my choco-buying venture. It's touted as being a cheap affordable candy in Japan (like a penny candy is in the US) But for cheap, Tirol manages to deliver some quality chocolate! Having said that, I'm not a fan of all the flavors I've sampled. But that's about personal preference, not so much knocking the quality or taste of the candy. The chocolate isn't as sweet as say a Hershey's but more like that of a box of Sees chocolates. Maybe it's to better pair with the fillings, and apparently Tirol chocolates ALWAYS come with some type of filling. Normally I don't like a mixed box of chocolates, since it is true, "you never know what you're gonna get" and inevitably some of it, (a great deal of it if you're picky or unlucky) will not be to you're liking. I don't know if you can just buy a single flavor of Tirol, from what I've seen it's only sold in a variety pack, so if anyone knows, please share. Although, I suppose you need to try them all at first to see which ones you like. And there's more out there that I haven't tried...yet. But it's definitely a new fav. for me.

Bought this pack from "napajapan.com"
which is currently unavailable, but they do have a new "Mix 9" pack up as well as other varieties. I also bought just the caramel chocolate sold in 4's from them. HIGHLY recommend buying that one. You can also buy a 27 piece Tirol variety bag from marukaiestore.com but their shipping is crazy expensive especially for just one or 2 items!
