Russell Stover Milk Chocolate Pumpkin Coconut Nest

Russell Stover is a company that makes Chocolate things that can be good or bad. This Milk Chocolate Pumpkin Coconut Nest would be so much better if you didn’t have the coconut that will not chew down and is left in your mouth.

 

The leftover coconut will tend to be something you don’t want to eat and is hard to swallow so you’ll then be spitting out some white stuff that looks, and may even taste, like the snow in snow globes.

 

I mean, this tastes just fine, but that’s not a good look.

Russell Stover Coconut Cream in Dark Chocolate

If spitting out some white stuff is what you want for Easter then Russell Stover Coconut Cream in Dark Chocolate are your bag. I have to admit they taste fine but the coconut is not all that great and if you eat enough of these you wind up with coconut that you don't want to eat in your mouth. 

I like the fact that these are wrapped so that you can eat them over time without worrying about them getting stale. Stile, they are a take it or leave it kind of thing.

Russell Stover Valentine's Milk Chocolate Bar


 Russell Stover Valentine's Milk Chocolate Bars come out every year and often change their look. I think this one was from back in 2022 because that's when I got it, tossed it in my freezer, and forgot about it. 

Well, it survived the process and came out as a good chocolate bar. I can't say that it's a standout, and it's no Hershey's Bar, but it is good chocolate.

Russell Stover Sours Watermelon Bunny

This abomination is a Russell Stover Sours Watermelon Bunny. It looks like chocolate but the flavor is all wrong. I can't figure why this direction would be taken on Easter, but I guess folks eat watermelon on Easter so it's okay. I can't say I didn't like this. It was just fine. I would have like chocolate better but I had to get this because it was new.

Russell Stover Strawberries N' Creme Bunny

Russell Stover Strawberries N' Creme Bunny is a tastes abomination dreamed up to make something Easter without expensive chocolate. It tastes great, but makes me feel like little pink bunnies will burst out of my big fat gut and start dancing around the room. Modern science is scary.

Russell Stover Peanut Butter Easter Bunny

I did not know there was peanut butter in this Russell Stover Peanut Butter Easter Bunny until I looked at that box. At that point I had eaten the ears and left the body. The peanut butter is in the body but it's a shadow of what this should be. Fail. This was just bad.

Russell Stover Strawberry Cream Egg

If your idea of an Easter treat is a sticky chocolateish pile of mush then Russell Stover Strawberry Cream Eggs are for you. I mean, yeah, they taste good but they don't come out of the pack all that well and your date will be trying to get her hands clean and complaining. 

Giving these to kids will fair you no better as they will make an enormous mess.  Fail.

Russell Stover Assorted Fine Chocolates 7 oz

Russell Stover Assorted Fine Chocolates 7 oz is the classic choice for Valentine's Day, and your girl won't think you're a total idiot if you get this heart. The hard centers are good and the soft centers are so so. 

I remember my old man complaining that my mother didn't like soft centers and he kept buying them because he didn't think about it too much. 

Guys, take notes about what chocolate your girl wants. Trust me on this one, she notices the little things.

Russell Stover Strawberry Cream Heart

I went in thinking I would hate these Russell Stover Strawberry Cream Hearts, but I have to admit that they're really great. Sweet and rich with just the right amount of strawberry flavor. These are a great way to brighten your Valentine's day if you're not fat like me.

Russell Stover Crispy Peanut Butter Heart

What could be better than peanut butter and chocolate? Well, not these Russell Stover Crispy Peanut Butter Hearts. These things are nasty. I mean, they taste like the peanut butter was rancid and then puffed with air to make them less nasty. Then there are the crispy things. I have no idea why they would even be in there, they take up space I guess. 

Dude, these are gross.

Russell Stover Assorted Fine Chocolates

If you're looking for a way to say 'I love you but I don't want to grow old with you' Russell Stover Assorted Fine Chocolates are your deal. They are okay chocolate, flavor wise, and if you are buying these for the unsophisticated pallet the heart box is romantic. 

These are a hand crafted chocolate so what is my big issue with them? Well, flip over the box and you will learn that they have hydrogenated oil. Natural oil is not hydrogenated and hydrogenated oil clogs up your body and will stop blood flow to your heart. 

If you hate you're loved one get them a truck load of these and they will be likely to die young.
