I got a promotional ad for a free gift with purchase at Läderach, so I came back for more delicious chocolate!
Cornflake Milk Chocolate, Blackberry Dark Chocolate and Nut Trio
I got my favourite cornflake milk chocolate, but unfortunately they were out of the white chocolate raspberry blackberry. Instead, they had a dark chocolate blackberry which I think is probably even better since it won't be as sweet as the white chocolate.
Turns out the dark chocolate blackberry is REALLY good, it's sweet and a little tart from the blackberry and it had a good balance overall with the rich smooth dark chocolate. I like this one a lot with the flavours and the sticky sweet texture (kind of like caramel) and a slight crispiness and it's dark chocolate which is even better (dark chocolate is my new favourite chocolate since milk chocolate usually tastes really sweet). The cornflake milk was AMAZING as usual with that crispy cornflake texture and smooth delicious milk chocolate.
Nut trio milk chocolate with pistachios, roasted hazelnuts and almonds
The chocolate is sold by weight $10.90/100g and this one is probably one of the more expensive ones since there are so many nuts. However, it's so worth it! It's a combination of delicious tasty premium nuts (pistachios, hazelnuts and almonds) and amazing really smooth rich milk chocolate. They incorporated full pistachios and hazelnuts and sliver of almond slices and also some assorted crunchy bits. Great texture and so delicious!
The gift with purchase was a selection of their Choco Bijoux
White end - Blanc tartufi: hazelnut gianduja with white chocolate, roasted Piedmont hazelnuts and slivers of wafer biscuit) - the white chocolate was sweet and crispy, I love their textures to their chocolates - it makes things so much more interesting and fun - this was really good, but I prefer the dark chocolate or milk chocolate versions.
Purple end - Gianduja Tartufi: hazelnut gianduja with refined milk chocolate and roasted Piedmont hazelnuts - Not as crunchy crispy as the blanc tartufi, but it was super soft and yummy (even if the texture wasn't as smooth as their chocolate bars).
Orange stick - orange noir: fruity orange gianduja with crispy slivers of wafer biscuit covered in Swiss dark chocolate - strong intense orange flavour with dark chocolate - delicious!
Green twisty end - Noisette noir: caramelized, roasted Piedmont hazelnut with finest hazelnut gianduja covered in Swiss dark chocolate - super hazelnutty from the roasted Piedmont hazelnuts (which are honestly my favourite hazelnuts ever). This is definitely the choco bijoux you get if you want a ton of Piedmont Hazelnut flavour.
Beige twisty end - Feuilletine lait: crispy slivers of wafer biscuit in hazelnut gianduja, covered in Swiss milk chocolate - crunchy, smooth and sweet - Yummy!
Red twisty end - Macadamia lait: Caramelized roasted macadamia nut with finest hazelnut gianduja covered in Swiss milk chocolate - excellent milk chocolate and hazelnut flavour and a macadamia surprise in the middle (featuring a whole macadamia nut).
Blue stick - Stracciatella blanc: finest white gianduja with crispy cocoa pieces covered in Swiss white chocolate. Yummy with the crunchy finely chopped cocoa pieces to add a little crispiness and sweet white chocolate.

Läderach, a Swiss chocolatier that I tried in Switzerland (the chocolate bark was AMAZING), opened a new location at York Mills and Bayview!
I'm gifting myself delicious chocolate!
All this chocolate bark is sold by weight - it's $10.90/100g and these 5 pieces worked out to $32.
There's milk chocolate cornflake, rocher (milk chocolate with almonds), white chocolate raspberry blackberry (pink), Grand Cru (dark chocolate) and dark chocolate with almonds.
My favourite chocolate barks were the white chocolate raspberry and blackberry and the milk chocolate cornflakes. I'm usually not a big fan of white chocolate since it's super sweet from all the sugar (and it's not really chocolate anyways), but the raspberry and blackberry crunchy bits and the delicious tangy taste of the berries with the sweet white chocolate is just SO GOOD - I remember this was my favourite chocolate in Switzerland years ago. It's also not too sweet for a white chocolate, which makes it even better.
The milk chocolate cornflake is another favourite because it had the fun crunchy and crispy texture from the cornflake crisps with the smoothest and best tasting milk chocolate ever. It's so good all together - I would definitely get this again for an extra special treat!
The other chocolate barks were really good as well (just not as outstanding as the two above in my opinion). The rocher was super smooth and tasty milk chocolate with roasted almond slivers (I would eat this over actual Ferrero rocher chocolates anyday!) and the Grand Cru was a 70% dark chocolate with a rich powerful flavour from Brazil with a fruity flavour to it. It was much darker than Lindt chocolate's 70% (I would say it was almost comparable to Lindt's 85%), but with a better flavour. The dark chocolate with almonds was also really good and it used a different dark chocolate than the Cru. It was smoother and creamier (possibly with more cream or milk in the chocolate) and it wasn't as strong. The almond slivers were great together with the chocolate.
Overall: I would definitely recommend a visit here if you're looking for excellent quality chocolate
