Tirol Choco – Sweet Tirol Cup
Price: ±€5

The cup contains a total of six different flavours: Coffee Nougat, White Chocolate Mochi, Crunchy Biscuit, Chocolate Cookie, Strawberry Marshmallow & Milk Cream Filled.

Although the name was Coffee Nougat, the nougat part seemed more like a coffee caramel. It had a very bitter flavour, because of the coffee flavour and I barely tasted the milk chocolate. I personally didn’t like this one very much, but I am not a big fan of coffee in general.

The White Chocolate Mochi chocolate mainly tasted like white chocolate. The filling, which was supposed to be mochi, had a firm gummy texture and had a slight vanilla flavour. I didn’t love the texture of the filling, but I didn’t hate it either.

Crunchy Biscuit consisted of creamy milk chocolate with a biscuit inside of it. I really liked this one, the biscuit inside was crunchy, as the name suggests. The outer layer of chocolate was thin, but thick enough to make the chocolate flavour stand out enough.

True to its name the Chocolate Cookie chocolate had a small round chocolate cookie inside, plus some colourful sprinkles and was covered with dark chocolate. I thought it was tasty, but it was a bit more bitter than the milk chocolate chocolates. I did think it was weird there was a chocolate cupcake on the wrapper, instead of a chocolate cookie.

My favourite of the bunch: Strawberry Marshmallow had a small marshmallow disk and some strawberry jam inside. The outer layer was made of strawberry chocolate. I loved the addition of the strawberry jam, the flavour stood out and although it was sweet it was balanced out by the marshmallow which wasn’t very sweet. I am a big strawberry lover, so that might influence my judgement on this.

The Milk Cream Filled chocolate reminded me of Kinder Chocolates, as it was filled with milk filling. It does taste a little different though because the bottom layer is dark chocolate, so it’s slightly more bitter. This was the only chocolate with a different, striped, pattern on top instead of the four squares.

All of these chocolate treats were enjoyable, but I did like some more than others. My favourite was the Strawberry Marshmallow one, I loved the strawberry jam and the flavour combination in general. My least favourite was the Coffee Nougat chocolate, but since I don’t like coffee in general I think that’s the reason.
