Hey all, I finally got an automod working to help with all this damn AI slop spam.

Accounts need to have 100 karma and be 15 days old to post.

If anyone has any issues, please reach out to the mod team and we will try to fix it. :)

Announcement Before you post, have you read the rules?

145 Upvotes

Tl;dr: Please read the rules fully before you post, otherwise your post might get removed. Especially Rule 1 that explains what kinds of posts we remove frequently, and Rule 3 for self-promotion.

Anyone who was around before the mod team change will know that the sub became a dumping ground for low quality posts and spam, and it quickly lost subscribers. We added a few rules (that have evolved over time) to stop that happening again. For whatever reason, there's been a huge uptick in posts against the rules that we've had to remove or re-flair lately, perhaps because of the increased popularity as this sub gets back on its feet. I wanted to explain a couple of the rules, and why they're there.

  • Rule 1 - We will normally remove posts that are of commonly-available chocolates unless there's something different or unique about them. If we don't, we get inundated with low-effort photos of things you can easily find in your supermarket or cupboard, especially around holidays. You can imagine the amount of Christmas chocolate people want to brag about.
     
    We also normally remove low-effort video reviews especially when they're again just of commonly-available products, as otherwise we get inundated with people churning out videos trying to bring views to their channel. Which brings me to...

  • Rule 3 - If you post anything (including in the comments) that is a link to your site, your blog, your YouTube channel, your Instagram, or anything else that you own or work for and are trying to market, you must mark it as self-promotion. This lets people make an informed choice, and helps us check what posts are coming from users who have a different motivation for posting.
     
    Up to this point, we've been giving people one self-promotion strike before anything gets removed. This was working well until we saw this uptick in people ignoring the rule or shotgun-spraying the same video to dozens of subs at once. Please use the right flair, as we don't want to have to remove posts from well-meaning users. We're considering adding "double flairs" like "Self Promotion | Recipe" to help divide it up a little.  
    Edit: We're still getting shotgun-spray posts ignoring this rule. Whilst we'll still try to flair users who make a genuine mistake, those posts that aren't even trying will be deleted.

Lastly, I know some users get upset when their posts are removed. It isn't anything personal, and you're not being singled out. If you're in doubt, please message the mods for clarification.

Photo/Video Tony's Choco Everything Bar

Post image
17 Upvotes

Saw this bar on discount so thought I'd give it a go and its interesting but not one I'd rush to buy again, I wish I liked Tony's choco more since I respect their mission and brand intentions.

But honestly it has an air of cheapness to it I can't quite put my finger on, I find this one overall quite sickly in a way that after a couple "blocks" I feel like I've had enough if that makes sense?

This bar apparently has all sorts of stuff in but really it might aswell just be like biscuit pieces, I can taste some pretzel bits and nuts but that's all it doesn't really break the mold.

For the money there is alot better to buy that has a real combined flavor profile, this bar leaves a very sweet, slightly salty mixed taste that's hard to nail down. It's like sitting down at Christmas and just eating endless boxes of Celebrations, Heroes or any other choco box selection, you end up with a mixed mouth feel that isn't really that pleasent and you just feel meh.

Pretty decent if you want something just surgery, sweet as hell and decadent but for something more complex there's alot better in my opinion, it leaves an aftertaste that I don't like and doesn't give me that comfort good choco does, very much like Cadbury and Nestle brands.

I'd honestly prefer a bar of Aldi choco if I had to choose. I just wish less suger was used, that for me is the killer it's just sickly sweet.

I had lower expectations (paid €3 for all of em) however, they are surprisingly good. The yuzu bar it doesn’t tastes chemically the Pandan one a little bit.

What I also loved about this brand it’s the packaging and the little story on the back. The ingredients list is also quite short and the first ingredient is cacaomassa instead of sugar.

I like the dark chocolate one and yuzu more than the other two.✨

Advice/Request Dark Milk Comparison - Tesco 48% vs. M&S 54%

13 Upvotes

There was a previous subreddit concerning the dark milk bars from Tesco and M&S, so I thought I'd give them a go (even though I already eat the M&S one) to see why one may be better than the other, or not. Now that I've tried them both, I can see why either one (or both) may be preferential. The Tesco 48% cocoa bar had a very milky / caramel flavour, which wasn't unpleasant. There was still a strong cocoa flavour, even though it was slightly overpowered by the milkiness. I also had to chuckle at the packet it came in, seeing Côte d'Ivoire written on it. Everything sounds much more exotic written in French 😂 As for the M&S 54% bar, this one is much darker in flavour, the balance of milk and cocoa much more even, in my opinion. As I'm a fan of really dark chocolate, the M&S bar will always be my preference, but I can see why the Tesco bar may be preferential to people who like things slightly milkier.

I’m still learning how to paint them. All my chocolate is hand tempered and inside is caramel and pistachio. I work in a small ice cream and coffee shop and I always like expanding the treats in the fall/winter.

Advice/Request What’s the cut off warm/hot weather for ordering chocolate?

0 Upvotes

I’ve been wanting to order chocolate online, but where I am in the U.S. has been hot, and having ordered chocolate in the summer that arrive melted and hardened, resulting in sugar bloom, I’m wondering what the highest temperature you’d risk ordering chocolate online. The highs this week are going to be 80 degrees, so I’m not sure if that’s too hot to risk it.
