The very best of Swiss milk chocolate with honey and almond nougat is a wonderful prize winning combination. How clever was Theodor Tobler back in 1908 when he produced this amazing bar in such a unique shape representing little Alps. Nearly 100 years on and Toblerone which incidentally, the name is a play on words from “Tobler” and “Torrone” which is the Italian word for honey-almond nougat, is still very popular and on sale in airports all over the world as well as in supermarkets and other shops.

The Ingredients
»»»»»»»»»»»»»
In biblical times the “Promised land” was a land flowing with and honey. Did God have Toblerone in mind back then? The milk mainly supplied from EW56Bhttp://travel.ciao.co.uk/Switzerland_5298218_3W H6PDis converted into EW56Bhttp://www.ciao.co.uk/sr/q-milk+powderWH6PDdiff erent from your average EW56Bhttp://www.ciao.co.uk/sr/q-barWH6PDprism shaped box, mine is a creamy yellow colour as it is the milk chocolate EW56Bhttp://www.ciao.co.uk/sr/q-varietyWH6PDbox, and the name EW56Bhttp://www.ciao.co.uk/sr/q-kraft+foodsWH6PDpowe ring so. The pieces of EW56Bhttp://www.ciao.co.uk/sr/q-mixedWH6PDchocolate in other things. A semi-sweet chocolate version was made in 1969 and although I like this it isn’t my favourite, the only advantage is that I get to eat it all myself as the others don’t eat plain chocolate! A chocolate Toblerone was introduced in 1973, but not liking white chocolate in large quantities I find this too sickly. A filled version was made in 1996, but I haven’t tried this.

The Sad bit!

There are 530kcals per 100g of Toblerone, a massive 30g of fat and 5.3g of protein. I have got a large 400g bar of Toblerone which was bought at the airport, it has 15 sections or “Alps” and each one weighs about 26g, according to my calculator that is 141 kcals per piece! But you don’t want to know that! I especially don’t want to know that as I’m about to sample a piece or two to write this review, just in case I might miss a few factors in the tasting sections having forgotten just how delicious it is.

A bit of history
