A Mixed Bag: Mazurin's Chocolatey Delights
Hello there!
I'm a huge fan of nuts and dried fruits in chocolate, and for me, it's all about the chocolate being super tasty and the nuts being fresh inside. I decided to try out Mazurin on Ozon because the price of the assortment was really attractive.
Where I bought it: Ozon
Price: 640 rub (with the seller's points, I got it for 540 rub)
Weight: 400g
Ingredients: Milk chocolate coating, white chocolate coating, yogurt coating (sugar, cocoa butter equivalent, cocoa powder, dried milk products, lecithin, natural flavor - vanilla), assorted roasted nuts (hazelnut, cashew, almond, pecan), assorted freeze-dried fruits (raspberry, strawberry, blueberry), freeze-dried berry powder (blueberry, raspberry, thyme, pumpkin), candy pieces (banana, cherry, strawberry, prunes), Capol - a complex food additive.
The assortment looked super appetizing, with dark chocolate dominating the packaging, and just six pieces of milk chocolate. There was a decent amount of white chocolate and yogurt coating. The yogurt coating had pink, green, and orange truffles.
You could easily tell apart the cashew, hazelnut, and almond. The cashew was only in the yogurt coating, the almond was in all the coatings, and it made up most of the assortment - there was an insane amount of it.
So, in terms of fillings, we have hazelnut, pecan, cashew, and almond. What I got was three hazelnuts, an insane amount of almonds, seven pecans, and a decent amount of cashews, all in the yogurt coating.
I was really looking forward to it, but the first impression was a bit disappointing. The assortment looked amazing, but when I opened it, I was surprised by the sheer amount of almonds. I mean, I love almonds, but it was like they were everywhere!

I got a few stale nuts, and in the middle of one, I found something weird - I hope it's not mold, but I didn't want to take a chance.

For a better look, I've included some photos of the nuts sliced open.
The dark chocolate coating was a total letdown - it tasted cheap and bitter. And the worst part? The almonds were all in the dark chocolate coating, but I'm not going to eat it because it's just not good. I'll have to come up with a different recipe to use up this chocolate.
I wanted to give it 4 stars, but after writing this review, I realized I had a lot of complaints. So, I'm giving it 3 stars. Maybe someone will like it, but for me, the dark chocolate coating was a total bust, and the fruits were just a few sad pieces with a weird sugar coating that made them taste the same.
I think it's worth noting that the packaging was nice, and the assortment looked great. But when it comes to the taste and quality, I was really disappointed.
Overall, I would say that Mazurin's Chocolatey Delights is a mixed bag. It has some good qualities, but it also has some major drawbacks. If you're a fan of nuts and dried fruits in chocolate, you might enjoy it. But if you're looking for a high-quality chocolate experience, you might want to look elsewhere.
Rating: 3/5 stars
