'Tis the season for indulgence! Join Lauren, Aaron, and Brendan as we dive headfirst into a world of chocolatey goodness. We're kicking off the holiday season with a festive feast of chocolate bars, from classic favorites to limited-edition surprises. Prepare to have your taste buds tantalized as we rank our chocolate preferences (dark, milk, or white), debate the age-old question of fruit and nut chocolate, and discuss the viral Dubai chocolate that's taken the internet by storm. We'll also be putting some holiday treats to the test. Brace yourselves for our honest review of the much-anticipated Cadbury Reindeer Cakes. We'll dissect their peculiar texture, questionable taste, and misleading packaging. And if you're curious about the unique Perky Nana chocolate bar from New Zealand, with its banana-flavored marshmallow filling, we've got you covered. We'll also be sampling and reviewing other limited-edition chocolate bars, including Twix Wafer Roll, Dairy Milk Lamington, and Mars Lamington. We'll analyze the controversial shrinkflation of the Twix Wafer Roll and compare the two Lamington chocolates, ultimately deciding which one reigns supreme. So, grab your favorite chocolate bar and join us on this delicious journey.
