Merry Christmas Eve! I thought we would do a fun chocolate advent before Christmas! Some of these were very good while others were VERY BAD! Let me know which chocolate looked the best to you! Love ya! Have a Merry Christmas❤
I'm really excited about how many Advent calendars are behind you. Advent calendars after Christmas softens the post Christmas blues. I'm not being sarcastic. This is a sincere comment.
The rosemary, burnt caramel, and shitake mushroom salt was a product of "AUGH! MY RECIPE FOR THE ADVENT CALENDAR IS DUE TOMORROW! Quick! What's in my cupboard?! I BURNT THE CARAMEL!! Too late, we'll make them think it's on purpose."
I hate dark chocolate. You're absolutely right, they could make some really gourmet milk chocolates. If they are going to act like "Florida Sea salt" is something special then they can make a beautiful milk chocolate from Icelandic sheep milk or something. 😂
It's weird .... dark chocolate is the "flavor of the month" the last few years. They try to make you feel unsophisticated if you like milk or white chocolate. Too bad ... it's GOOD!!!!
@@SherryAnnOfTheWesty’all are making it sound like a fad. American milk chocolate often contains very little cocoa. It’s milk sugar, and additives. European milk chocolate is supposed to be better quality but often has a dairy aftertaste. There’s a particular dairy taste I hate that isn’t always present. Like Magnum ice cream is really good but at the same time also has that unpleasant dairy taste at the end. I guess it has to do with the cows’ diet. Anyway, dark chocolate has less of all that. You get to appreciate the cocoa more and get less nonsense. If it’s a trend at all I see it as a trend in moving away from ultra processed foods and artificial ingredients.
I absolutely love the food adventure calendars!!! This one was so good last year and didn’t disappoint this year either!!! Also “man cheese it’s are good” is 100% the quote of the video!
This year’s box was definitely better than lasy year’s. However, the Fritz chocolate truffle/bonbon should never have been made. Merry Christmas to you, Jeremy, Tater and Ren. An unboxing without Jimmy mowing the lawn just doesn’t seem right, so I’m glad he put in a cameo appearance.
“Are passionfruits sour?” Yes, they are! First time I ate one, it made my ears pop it was so sour. It’s good though. The passion fruit flavor is closer to how perfumy it is when you smell, which is why it’s confusing when you first eat something with real passion fruit in it! Hope that helps 😅
Ripe passion fruit should be a mixture of sweet and a bit tart. My grandmother grew them in her garden for years and they were always very sweet and yummy.
I'm a green grocer and always describe passion fruits to my customers "as if a mango and a raspberry had a very sour baby" and recommend people eat it with yogurt or ice cream. I love the incredible sweet sour taste, but a lot of people don't agree, lol!
Mr. Fritz is the perfect example of why I never do subscription boxes of any kind. I'm too picky for such adventurous outliers. All the best of the season to you, the puppas, and all in your embrace.
I will say bad matcha will taste like grass and even fish sometimes... Which sucks cause I’ve had really good matcha and it tastes nothing like grass to me but it still tastes green if that’s makes sense lol. I hope one day you get to taste the good matcha
The best matcha I’ve ever had tastes “soft” - like, it’s still fresh and green but soft. Like it’s resting in your mouth and waking up your taste buds as it goes down.
My sister bought it for herself. She ate all the chocolates and gave me the boxes. They are so cool. We hung them on our parents' tree and they looked really nice. Now I have to find a place to store them. Lol.
I've just had the best Christmas morning (it is the 25th here in Melbourne) coffee whilst the hubby is still sleeping - thank you! Hilarious choc tasting & so agree with you - some things should just NEVER be put together!😝 Love your videos - always make me laugh😂! MERRY CHRISTMAS🎄❣️
Merry Christmas! Was wondering if you would consider going to one of those ‘colour analysis’ places (where you find out your season and colour palettes). I think it would be a fun idea!
I’d recognize that little chocolate box anywhere! Bon Bon Bon is a metro Detroit treasure and some of the best chocolate I’ve ever tasted! Totally okay if the cherry one wasn’t your jam, they do have a BourBon that my partner and I like that might be more your speed. And this year they did limited release zodiac bons that were lovely! They’re only $3 a bon though, so the $6ish per box means some of those other chocolates must be like $20 a pop or they’re really charging you for that gorgeous packaging 7:16
I remember finding what I thought was a chocolate bar in my mom’s baking cupboard taking a bite and it was disgusting because it was baking chocolate. My mom said well that will teach you for touching. Guess it did.
This happened to me too. I was a drama queen and making such a scene my mom came running in. She was like what happened?? You cut?? Nope, just me eating baking chocolate 😂😂
lol i was babysitting once and ate a piece of chocolate on the counter. realized once it turned to powder in my mouth that it was like 90% cacao lmao i had to spit it out
Glad that you gotta eat the chocolates before they expire (like last year's cookies 😅). Merry Christmas to you and your family. Love your videos and love the Advent calendars season 😊 Since you didn't enjoy all of the chocolates, why don't you have someone else to try them with you next year so they can help? 😂 Or maybe use a knife to cut a tiny piece so you can try them all? ❤
I would suspect that last caramel was the texture it was because of the figs. I tend to find anything with fig in it gives me a grainy texture, like a lot of the chewy organic protein bars which use fig for the texture and sweetness.
I’ll be honest. I love artisanal candy you get at candy shops and $7 isn’t that crazy, the difference is you pick it out, not it being $7 of something you may not like.
Then like $50 worth of packaging. That could be a high estimate but I was surprised to see those individual cylinder containers. Those are really nice quality, beautiful illustrations and reusable!
I think $4 is reasonable for even a fancy bonbon or truffle. For $7, I'd expect a bar of chocolate. I wonder how much packaging factors into their costs.
Girl, knowing you had another 90 minutes of filming you DIDN'T share with us makes me sad!! I'm cooking Christmas dinner now, because my girls are RN's and have to work tomorrow for TRIPLE TIME!! I don't blame them at all!! But watching you add I'm cooking has been the best part of my day!! We'll watch all of your videos, don't edit them!! That's the things we love about you!! I hope you and Jeremy have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and spoil the boys for us too!! Sending love from Louisville Ky!!!
So, "añejo" is Spanish for aged. As for Passion fruit is one of my favorite fruits. Yes, it is sour. That being said 1. if given time to ripe it becomes sweeter and 2. it is much better as juice by adding sugar then it gets the exact flavor. Similar like turning lemons into lemonade.
The moment you read out “liquid” my brain sent off a warning siren, because I just knew it was going to get everywhere. 😅 These chocolates seemed like an improvement from last year, which at least one notable exception. Lol. I’m glad you did this one. Even if the price of it blows my mind. The box really was a work of art, too.
Really enjoyed this one! WTH was Fritz thinking?? I think I would’ve had to spit that one out 😆 as a dark chocolate lover I think I would like most of the chocolates in this calendar. Thank you for showing this one! Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!🎁🎄
As a chocolate lover, I feel like I would mildly enjoy a box like this. Some of the faces you made when eating the chocolate just made me think 'Ooo, that one must be really good!' and then some others made me think 'Oooo, that one must be bad...' lol. At least the packaging is really cute, and some of the chocolates looked really pretty XD
Merry Christmas 🎄 to you, Jeremy and the boys 🐶 🐶. I always look forward to your videos. I also believe we would have watched the full 2 hr video before you edited bc we adore you and you bring SOOOO MUCH light to many of us in dark times. Much love and Happy Holidays 💜💜💜💜 Tampa, Florida P.S I need a shirt like your sweatshirt and the Purdys long sleeve shirt you wore in one of your recent videos. I always say Purdy. Maybe a southern thing. But I want a Purdy shirt!!! Where did you get yours?
Fritz will not be forgotten or forgiven for his sins by Alexandria. Merry Christmas all, hope you have a nice one if you celebrate! Look forward to the rest of the advent calendars ❤️🎄
The pecan pie pralines were made by my local chocolatier in Toronto, SOMA. Their chocolates are sooo good; they're one of my fave places to get gifts. This calendar is fabulous; I would love to try all these chocolates!
Definitely a super cute advent calendar, although $170 is a bit ridiculous for chocolate in my opinion! I hemmed and hawed over getting a $40 chocolate advent calendar this year 😂 Although it sounds like the chocolate was probably just as good quality as this one. Not sure if Chocolat Favoris ships to the US (I'm in Canada), but could be a fun option for next year, even if the packaging isn't so elaborate!
The looks on your face when you don't like it 😂😂 I really appreciate the things you do to entertain us. You are always a joy to watch. Merry Christmas to you and your family 🙏🏻♥️✌🏻
I personally have no problem watching you taste 24 luxurious expensive chocolates, while I eat a Dollar Tree "Old Fashioned Vanilla Crème Drops". And then a $2.50 box of Walmart's "Queen Anne" Cordial Cherry filled Chocolates !! 😂💜🙋♀️🎄 PS, and if one lands on the carpet, C'est la vie!! Ima pick it up and pop it in my mouth without even thinking about it!! 😋😋😋
Love the advent calendars; the amazing packaging, the chocolate overload, etc... And, best of all, you Alex, with your personality and wit. Merry Christmas ❤
Girlll, you're missing out on garam masala! It's the LIFE of a lot of popular North Indian food. Garam Masala originated in India and is widely used to Indian, Sri Lankan, Pakistani, Nepalese, Bengali, Caribbean, Swahili, Mauritius foods, too! (Plz lmk if i missed out on any places). Ofc the ratio of spices, the spices in the blend and a lot of other things MIGHT vary, but it's so so good. Its so versatile, you can even incorporate it into a lotta other dishes you make at home 😁😁
I just found out this is all different small chocolate makers. Not planning on trying it but I think that's a really cool idea. My mom's friend makes Indian cooking spice sets. Masala is like the Indian version of Chinese Five Spice. It's super multiuse; I have a massive container 'cause it's so good on my home fries and it's great in hot milk w some sugar. Also been watching you since the blackboard and skull table. Happy Holidays! 🎁 🎄
Girl when I worked at Starbucks was when Starbucks started making matcha drinks & it came in this gross package & smelled soo gross we mix it up & it’s like this thick thing that looks like green throw up & cleaning out the matcha mix everyday when it’s all hard & gross.. legit I just think of matcha like if someone ate grass & then threw it up.. ( I’m sure matcha is probably good (somewhere, cuz everyone loves it) & ik Starbucks isn’t the place to get a traditional matcha drink) but I just can’t get over that memory 🤢😭
The pecan one sounded really good. My kid watched this one with me, and you had him laughing so hard. We loved it. I hope everyone enjoys their Christmas Eve and has a Merry Christmas! Thank you for keeping us laughing and entertained, Alexandria!
Don't you "love" that this chocolate cannot be eaten by people that has allergies to peanut,nuts ,gluten and egg free . why it so hard for these company to make GOOD chocolate for everyone, why we cannot enjoy that luxury too !? .i cannot even enjoy food in a restaurant and i cannot get a calendar either they are DANGEROUS! Just ranting on how annoying compagnies do nothing for for allergies when we are millions out there . Happy Yule happy holidays
I guess I would pay 5$ for those cute gift boxes. Obviously, the packaging is where most of the budget went. I hope maybe next year they can make a refill pack for the advent
Next year to save you from diabetes - you could make this calendar a part of all your other unboxings! Eat one day of this calendar at the start of your other calendar videos
I really love this one. I'd definitely keep it and display it. But I just wanted to say that I always find it funny how people act that aren't used to eating chocolate or sweets lol.. You didn't even eat that much, you took a tiny little nip off each one. Imagine if you did the whole things lol..I know I would.
It's not just you, that last caramel must be messed up if it's grainy. Sounds like it started to recrystallize into sugar lol. The chocolate was fine and not bloomed so idt heat was an issue.
My husband and I just got some "fancy rich people" hot chocolate, and he said it tasted like essential oils. I bet that is the same as the perfume taste.
Not me eating some sweet potato gnocchi whilst watching you eat all these sweet treats 😆 I love chocolate, especially dark, but I don't think I could sample all those myself. Good call on the Cheez-its. Your face is so expressive, like with the passionfruit (I was thinking you didn't like it, not that it was sour) & the rosemary/mushroom (a flavor I don't care for & 1 that just shouldn't be in sweets) caramel (that 1 was a definite YUCK face). I'm glad for you that some were pretty tasty & it is a beautiful calendar. Happy Holidays to you, your husband & pups! 🎄🎅 🎁
You should try “And Sons”chocolate next year they make very beautiful and delicious chocolate!!!!! Not sponsored lol H3H3 pod did a chocolatier try for a couple gourmet makers and that was their favorite
Merry Christmas, Alexandria! I hope you, Jeremy ,Tator & Wren have an amazing Christmas! ( I am writing this on Christmas morning). Thank you for providing us such great entertainment all year long. ❤🎄🎁🥰☃️
I have eaten passionfruit, they are in fact sour, and also both slimy and crunchy at the same timem and you have to eat it with a spoon, you can't just take a bite. They are a very wierd fruut.
While some of the fancier chocolates out there may actually cost that much per piece and you can somehow wrap your head around it, I think it’s bold that they call it an advent calendar. 😅 I would classify it as a fancy, Christmas chocolate box/assortment that you could put on the table and relish with your fancy guests the day of. But certainly one chocolate per day is sad and there arent even any numbered doors so calling it an advent calendar is a leap.
I knew you were my girl....."know how many Reese's Trees I can buy for that!". You never fail to make me laugh! Thank You for all your hard work and extremely enjoyable videos. I hope your family, furs included, have Happy Holidays!
Always enjoy the advent calendar season! Thank you for doing it. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Alexandria. And all who read this, Happy holiday season!
I'm not mad at the length of this video. I'm down for a little longer videos when they make me feel good. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!
This looks so good! I love unique and different things, especially paired with anything related to chocolates! 🤩 Thanks for sharing & Merry Christmas to you, your family, & the sweet little fur babies! 🎄🎁💗
Merry Christmas Eve! I thought we would do a fun chocolate advent before Christmas! Some of these were very good while others were VERY BAD! Let me know which chocolate looked the best to you! Love ya! Have a Merry Christmas❤
Merry Christmas to you.
I thoroughly enjoy this channel because it’s such a nice friendly happy channel.
Your energy is warm and infectious. ❤
Loved it. Christopher Elbow actually has a shop in Kansas City. He also does THC infused chocolate bars for Missouri dispensaries.
Merry Christmas 🎉🎄
Merry Christmas to you all 🎅❄️
The pralines looked irresistible, but now I am tempted to see about getting mulled wine chocolates. Good thing I never make New Year's resolutions.
Jimmy’s wife probably asked him to help get the house ready for guests and he thought “you know what would be super helpful… yard work!” 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Boy math
I think Jimmy hates his wife. That's why he's always out doing yard work lol 😆 😂😂
Or she sent him to do yard work to get him out of her way to get the house ready! 😅😂🤭💖🤷♀️
If he’s anything like my father it was probably to get him out of her hair while she does the real prep work😅😂
Cheez-its, monster energy drink and $170 worth of chocolate.... Girl Dinner!
Me when i worked at target 😆
It's the holidays, go for the extra cheesy Cheez-its 😁
You read my mind😂
White cheddar is even better
GIIIIIIIIRL DINEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR
Looking straight at the camera: "I ate that carpet chocolate!" That is dedication. 🍫
And all of us agreed with her! 30 second rule when it comes to a $6 piece of candy! 😂
Love your videos 🤩 my husband is blind and can easily follow along with your videos because your so descriptive 😍 thank you 🤩🥰
Me too ❤ xx
God bless you and your husband.
That’s really cool!
I'm really excited about how many Advent calendars are behind you. Advent calendars after Christmas softens the post Christmas blues. I'm not being sarcastic. This is a sincere comment.
I totally agree! 😊
I would watch Advent calendar unboxing with Alexandria all year long!
I seco...eh, fourth this!
You’re my favorite TH-camr. Thank you for being so authentically you.
Aww that’s so kind of you❤️❤️
I love her too!! She’s adorable 🥰
Awww❤
The rosemary, burnt caramel, and shitake mushroom salt was a product of "AUGH! MY RECIPE FOR THE ADVENT CALENDAR IS DUE TOMORROW! Quick! What's in my cupboard?! I BURNT THE CARAMEL!! Too late, we'll make them think it's on purpose."
That had to be the most underrated comment of 2023. 🤣🤣🤣
"We're gonna fight..." I about fell over laughing from that chocolate! Alex is braver than I am, I would have noped straight past it.
Christopher Elbow chocolates does an advent calendar every year with some interesting flavor combos!
Ooo! I will have to check that out next year!
He does THC infused chocolate bars for Missouri dispensaries as well.
You are weirdly gifted at describing chocolates 🍫 I didn’t know that was a thing 🤣
I hate dark chocolate. You're absolutely right, they could make some really gourmet milk chocolates. If they are going to act like "Florida Sea salt" is something special then they can make a beautiful milk chocolate from Icelandic sheep milk or something. 😂
It's weird .... dark chocolate is the "flavor of the month" the last few years. They try to make you feel unsophisticated if you like milk or white chocolate. Too bad ... it's GOOD!!!!
I want to try milk chocolate from Icelandic sheep milk now…
@@SherryAnnOfTheWesty’all are making it sound like a fad. American milk chocolate often contains very little cocoa. It’s milk sugar, and additives. European milk chocolate is supposed to be better quality but often has a dairy aftertaste. There’s a particular dairy taste I hate that isn’t always present. Like Magnum ice cream is really good but at the same time also has that unpleasant dairy taste at the end. I guess it has to do with the cows’ diet. Anyway, dark chocolate has less of all that. You get to appreciate the cocoa more and get less nonsense. If it’s a trend at all I see it as a trend in moving away from ultra processed foods and artificial ingredients.
@@jmarshal 🤣
@@bleepbloopskrrr take that too far and cooking ends all together.
I absolutely love the food adventure calendars!!! This one was so good last year and didn’t disappoint this year either!!!
Also “man cheese it’s are good” is 100% the quote of the video!
That box is a piece of art!
It’s so beautiful!
@@Alexandria-Ryan it is! I’d totally hang up the box and that inferior sheet. And I’d reuse the boxes lol
This year’s box was definitely better than lasy year’s. However, the Fritz chocolate truffle/bonbon should never have been made. Merry Christmas to you, Jeremy, Tater and Ren. An unboxing without Jimmy mowing the lawn just doesn’t seem right, so I’m glad he put in a cameo appearance.

Yeah, passion fruit is excellent as a layer of flavor but you need a milky chocolate to properly balance that, I’d think.
Ripe passion fruit should be a mixture of sweet and a bit tart. My grandmother grew them in her garden for years and they were always very sweet and yummy.
@@joanainacio88yeah I definitely think of them as more sweet/tart than sour. A fresh passionfruit straight off the vine is just so delicious.
I'm a green grocer and always describe passion fruits to my customers "as if a mango and a raspberry had a very sour baby" and recommend people eat it with yogurt or ice cream. I love the incredible sweet sour taste, but a lot of people don't agree, lol!

Hello from Brisbane. Went for a run in 25deg C at 7:00am and the breakfast, coffee and chocolate advent calendar. Great way to start Christmas Day.
Happy Christmas from New Zealand 👋 beautiful summer day here in the south island 🎉
Merry Christmas! Was wondering if you would consider going to one of those ‘colour analysis’ places (where you find out your season and colour palettes). I think it would be a fun idea!

Paper. Chestnuts taste basically like paper. As said by my brother’s roommate “I feel bad that there was a time people thought these were good.”
I'm a latchkey kid and if it weren't for the berry and chestnut trees outside, I would have starved to death. The fresh ones are so delicious! 🎉❤
Roasted chestnuts are amazing though? And taste nothing like paper 😮
I think your brothers roommate had bad chestnuts.
So, "añejo" is Spanish for aged.
As for Passion fruit is one of my favorite fruits. Yes, it is sour. That being said 1. if given time to ripe it becomes sweeter and 2. it is much better as juice by adding sugar then it gets the exact flavor. Similar like turning lemons into lemonade.

I'm wrapping gifts as I watch this. I legit wrote "jimmy" on a gift label. lol god I'm a mess.
Had to laugh at your comment. I do that sort of thing, too! 😂
The paisley one would draw me in the most! But, I think flavor wise I'd like a cherry or orange one.
Please, next year review Vosges’ advent calendar of chocolate. Hideously expensive but really worth it!
The “if I ever catch you out on the street” had me literally laughing out loud for several minutes. That was hilarious 😂
As a chocolate lover, I feel like I would mildly enjoy a box like this. Some of the faces you made when eating the chocolate just made me think 'Ooo, that one must be really good!' and then some others made me think 'Oooo, that one must be bad...' lol. At least the packaging is really cute, and some of the chocolates looked really pretty XD
Yeah I feel like you can appreciate the flavors you don’t like in a calendar like this.
Merry Christmas 🎄 to you, Jeremy and the boys 🐶 🐶. I always look forward to your videos. I also believe we would have watched the full 2 hr video before you edited bc we adore you and you bring SOOOO MUCH light to many of us in dark times. Much love and Happy Holidays 💜💜💜💜 Tampa, Florida
P.S I need a shirt like your sweatshirt and the Purdys long sleeve shirt you wore in one of your recent videos. I always say Purdy. Maybe a southern thing. But I want a Purdy shirt!!! Where did you get yours?
there's a Purdy's Coffee Co. right next to her shop, so I'm pretty sure that's where she got it
Fritz will not be forgotten or forgiven for his sins by Alexandria. Merry Christmas all, hope you have a nice one if you celebrate! Look forward to the rest of the advent calendars ❤️🎄

Like this comment if you could 100% eat ALL of the chocolates----->
I hate to say it, but I don’t like the food related unboxings. I know others do though! I’ll catch the next advent calendar!
Poor Fritz! Alexandria is gonna have a vendetta against him until someone does her wrong next Christmas! 😂😂
Garam masala is a curry spice mix.. every family from where it originated would have their own receptive for it.. so it can differ quite wildly
I’m imagining what your husband and friend’s reactions are going to be to getting half eaten pieces of chocolate 😂
I almost feel like we are watching the winner of this year’s best calendar 😂
Merry Christmas, Alexandria, Jeremy, Ren, Tater, and the rest if your sweet family!! ❤
The looks on your face when you don't like it 😂😂 I really appreciate the things you do to entertain us. You are always a joy to watch. Merry Christmas to you and your family 🙏🏻♥️✌🏻
My fat ass doesn't do chocolate advents cause I'll have an excuse to eat one everyday for 25 days.

The salty chocolates are probably inspired by super-salty salmiakki licorice. Some people actually like the stuff- but I’m not one of them!
I tried it this year in Denmark and I loveeeee it
I just found out this is all different small chocolate makers. Not planning on trying it but I think that's a really cool idea.
My mom's friend makes Indian cooking spice sets. Masala is like the Indian version of Chinese Five Spice. It's super multiuse; I have a massive container 'cause it's so good on my home fries and it's great in hot milk w some sugar.

The pecan one sounded really good. My kid watched this one with me, and you had him laughing so hard. We loved it. I hope everyone enjoys their Christmas Eve and has a Merry Christmas! Thank you for keeping us laughing and entertained, Alexandria!
Don't you "love" that this chocolate cannot be eaten by people that has allergies to peanut,nuts ,gluten and egg free . why it so hard for these company to make GOOD chocolate for everyone, why we cannot enjoy that luxury too !? .i cannot even enjoy food in a restaurant and i cannot get a calendar either they are DANGEROUS! Just ranting on how annoying compagnies do nothing for for allergies when we are millions out there . Happy Yule happy holidays
A little disappointed that you didn’t say how many Reese’s trees you could buy! How long ago did you lose your popsicle calculator? 😂😂😂
I actually love these food / candy advent calendars. Like this advent calendar actually looks good
I guess I would pay 5$ for those cute gift boxes. Obviously, the packaging is where most of the budget went. I hope maybe next year they can make a refill pack for the advent
I love that we can SEE you getting more and more hyper as the video goes on. SO much CHOCOLATE!
Eating this many chocolates in one day is overwhelming to me but kudos for sticking it out for us
Next year to save you from diabetes - you could make this calendar a part of all your other unboxings! Eat one day of this calendar at the start of your other calendar videos
Your breakfast of cheezits, monster energy and $170 worth of gourmet chocolate made my stomach hurt and gave me heartburn via empathy lmao
I priced their chocolates, these are waaaay over prices from what their chocolates are online. They averaged about $3.28 each
I really love this one. I'd definitely keep it and display it. But I just wanted to say that I always find it funny how people act that aren't used to eating chocolate or sweets lol.. You didn't even eat that much, you took a tiny little nip off each one. Imagine if you did the whole things lol..I know I would.
It's not just you, that last caramel must be messed up if it's grainy. Sounds like it started to recrystallize into sugar lol. The chocolate was fine and not bloomed so idt heat was an issue.
yay! Another advent! I'd probably cut these in half or thirds so others could try it too.
Wow! The way you handled that…I could not take so many bites of chocolate in a row. I like chocolate, like one piece a year 🤷🏻♀️
Merry Christmas! The best advent calendar would be a Reese’s Trees calendar!! Why is that not a thing? 🎄🎄😊
You should buy yourself an empty calendar, then stuff it with the trees every year! 😀
My husband and I just got some "fancy rich people" hot chocolate, and he said it tasted like essential oils. I bet that is the same as the perfume taste.
Weird fact: tried an apple pie that has Rosemary in it. Best thing that you will ever taste.
It would be really fun to have Jeremy do this one with you next year! Even if he was off camera and we just heard his reactions to some of them hahaha
Beautiful box and chocs look lovely, but blooming heck that is some expensive choccies 😂
Not me eating some sweet potato gnocchi whilst watching you eat all these sweet treats 😆 I love chocolate, especially dark, but I don't think I could sample all those myself. Good call on the Cheez-its. Your face is so expressive, like with the passionfruit (I was thinking you didn't like it, not that it was sour) & the rosemary/mushroom (a flavor I don't care for & 1 that just shouldn't be in sweets) caramel (that 1 was a definite YUCK face). I'm glad for you that some were pretty tasty & it is a beautiful calendar. Happy Holidays to you, your husband & pups! 🎄🎅 🎁
These advent calendars are so much fun! Merry Christmas 🎄
I thought I was the only one who hated matcha it taste like grass I don’t understand the hype 😭
You should try “And Sons”chocolate next year they make very beautiful and delicious chocolate!!!!! Not sponsored lol H3H3 pod did a chocolatier try for a couple gourmet makers and that was their favorite
Merry Christmas, Alexandria! I hope you, Jeremy ,Tator & Wren have an amazing Christmas! ( I am writing this on Christmas morning). Thank you for providing us such great entertainment all year long. ❤🎄🎁🥰☃️
The hazelnut croissant one sounded like breakfast in a candy
That Christmas Night one (3rd to last) looks like honeycomb candy! Its such a neat texture!
Anyone else really want to see her try Durian? 😂
I have eaten passionfruit, they are in fact sour, and also both slimy and crunchy at the same timem and you have to eat it with a spoon, you can't just take a bite. They are a very wierd fruut.
While some of the fancier chocolates out there may actually cost that much per piece and you can somehow wrap your head around it, I think it’s bold that they call it an advent calendar. 😅 I would classify it as a fancy, Christmas chocolate box/assortment that you could put on the table and relish with your fancy guests the day of. But certainly one chocolate per day is sad and there arent even any numbered doors so calling it an advent calendar is a leap.
You could buy at least 25 BAGS OF REESE'S CHRISTMAS TREES for $170 😮
I’m watching this the day after Christmas and I’m so excited that Christmas isn’t over because you still have more Advent Calendars to unbox for us! 💜
Is there like oranges in it, or alligator or something? Hahahaha
I knew you were my girl....."know how many Reese's Trees I can buy for that!". You never fail to make me laugh! Thank You for all your hard work and extremely enjoyable videos. I hope your family, furs included, have Happy Holidays!
Añejo is Spanish for Aged :-)
Always enjoy the advent calendar season! Thank you for doing it. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Alexandria. And all who read this, Happy holiday season!
Thank you! God bless you and yours as well!!
Ohhh this was great! I loved it. Your expressions just tell the story. Thanks Alexandria ♥️ Merry Christmas 🎄
Also have to count packaging in the cost
🎉 that was fun 😊 the packaging is absolutely beautiful 😍
The packaging is beautiful, you could reuse it
Honestly, I want to try the rosemary/mushroom salt one. When you described how salty it was, I just thought, I NEED THAT! lol Merry Christmas!
I'm not mad at the length of this video. I'm down for a little longer videos when they make me feel good. I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!
This looks so good! I love unique and different things, especially paired with anything related to chocolates! 🤩 Thanks for sharing & Merry Christmas to you, your family, & the sweet little fur babies! 🎄🎁💗
