As a Norwegian, it feels great to get a confirmation from someone from another part of the globe that the Norwegian milk chocolate is really good. I’m always anxious that I like things only out of habit, and have a tendency to think less of unfamiliar tastes, i.e. chocolate, merely because they’re unfamiliar. In my opinion, the Swiss and Norwegian are the best mass produced milk chocolates. I find the Belgian to be slightly too sweet (even though it’s been a couple of years since I last tried some, so I’m probably mistaken on this).

If I’m going to recommend other Norwegian chocolates, I’d say you should try one called Walters Mandler if you get the chance. Caramellized almonds in the same milk chocolate as Firkløver, and other Freia products. It’s only available in large bars of 200 grams, though, as far as I know. For something completely different: If you’d like to try a really good mint chocolate, I’d recommend the Dark Mint, also from Freia. I tried it myself for the first time today, and at first I found the mint taste too strong. I’m not that fond of the taste, but I began enjoying it after a short while. I also found that it tastes excellent after having had a piece of plain milk chocolate, with that taste still present in the mouth. It’s rather dark, 70 %, but that goes very well with the strong taste of mint. Even though Freia’s dark chocolate isn’t my favourite (and I like dark chocolate way better than milk chocolate), seeing as I find it a bit too sweet and tasteless compared to other brands, it is still great, and goes very well with the fresh taste of mint.
