This is my first review of the year 2013 and I am happy doing it because it is a chocolaty review. When I got mail from Sagarika, the other day to review newly launched Gone Mad – Choco Sticks, I thought they may be made up of chocolate fully….but when I received the parcel and that too loaded with 24 choco sticks…I was like wow…
FIRST LOOK:
The wrapper of the choco stick is well designed by keeping the kids of around (9-12) in mind. The wrapper have got innovative cute designs on it….the color of brown and dark pink on the pack is very attractive. Bunch of school kids from Bangalore and Chennai has shown up there creativity in designing up this wrapper….. When I opened the wrapper, to my amazement I found a crunchy wafer in the shape of a cigar….when I took my first bite then I came to know, there was luscious chocolate hiding inside the wafer…
TASTE:
When you bite into the choco stick, the wafer easily melts in your mouth and chocolate hits your palate….the rich chocolate is so tasty that you feel like gulping the choco stick in one go…..The wafer is made so cleverly that you get to taste the chocolate more…..The wafer balances the taste of sweetness…
PRICE:
These choco sticks are for everyone who just want to kill the boredom and enjoy out little time…so these are economically priced at Rs.5/- for single unit, you can get 24 choco sticks for Rs.120/- and 5 choco sticks to share with your loving buddies come at an attractive price of Rs.25/-
FINAL VERDICT:
As the name says it is really a gone mad choco stick with all it’s chocolaty filling in the crunchy and delicate wafer, which is also made up of chocolate…..I already had three while writing down my review here…..need I say more…..they are so yummy and so easily you get addicted to these….My Lil’M had great time relishing on these sticks, when I was clicking for the review, she even gave me some poses along with seeing herself in the camera after each and every click…..

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
As I have got a pack of 24 choco sticks for review, I thought of using them in a little creative way apart from having as they are. I made Banana-Nutella Milkshake and served with these gone mad choco sticks (Recipe Below). You can even add to any of your favourite milkshake or even to decorate cake or creamy muffins, you can even use it as a stick and make cake pops, you can even dip in chocolate sauce and leave it in refrigerator till it sticks up and relish them and you can even serve with ice cream, by just placing your favourite scoops in a bowl, adding mixed fruits and place two choco sticks on side….your sundae is ready for indulgence…..Get creative and get indulge…..

When my dear husband in the evening announced, that he is in a no mood to have tea or coffee and he wants something sweet, fruity and chilled….the one thing which came to my mind was milkshake….Visit Website….As I started making, I added on the ingredients which came to my mind at that time….and oh my my it came out so yum….I took only 3 minutes in making up this creamy, icecreamy, chocolaty, fruity and yummy milkshake…..when I served it to my husband, he said…wow…you made it so fast and that too it looks so professional with that ‘Choco Stick’…..with all the blushy cheeks I snapped around some pics….so here is the simple and yum recipe of the milkshake…..
