Today I ate the chocolate. It was surprisingly easy to get out of the packaging, maybe because I know what to expect. I was hoping that my bravery of returning to the chocolate would be rewarded by getting the seemingly elusive chocolate boot, but instead I got some candle thing? Not really quite sure.
The chocolate started melting as soon as I touched it, but this time when I ate it, it tasted much better than last time. I think the possible reason for this is that I ate a bagel right before the chocolate, and didn't brush my teeth in between, so the bagel flavor enhanced the chocolate. I'm almost ashamed to admit that I'd be willing to eat a second piece.
Confiserie Heidel, a German company and the maker of this product, notes that to them, "top quality" means a high amount of creativity, in both the recipes and the packaging. Until I read that, I was thinking a high quality chocolate would TASTE good, but silly me, this chocolate is top quality because of the creative packaging and crazy shaped chocolates (boots?!?!). So these past few days, I've been unfair in my assessment, since I wasn't aware of the standards under which I should be judging my chocolate. From now on, I will use a more appropriate, German standard of judging. On this new scale, which I will call the "Schnell! scale", the chocolate gets two Schnell!'s out of a possible five.
Maybe next year I will get an Advent calendar with French chocolate.
(If you look closely, you will see today's chocolate making a cameo in Paris)

The chocolate for today looks like the torso of a man wearing a bandoleer (or two) with a couple of hand grenades...and of course, the gentleman is also wearing a tie.
of course.
