This was the last item in my Blogging by Mail package. I bet you thought that box was bottomless! 
I thought these ‘Jacques Pure Chocolate Hagelslag Granules‘ were just ‘sprinkles’ but they’re not! They melt in your mouth! (All the sprinkles I have ever tasted were firm, these are soft). I was very confused (and slightly grossed out) by the cover image which promoted eating it on buttered bread, something that Eva also advocated. I could not see the two tastes going together. After several minutes of pondering I figured I should give it a try. Generations of people couldn’t be wrong right? According to this site the Dutch eat 14 million kilos of hagelslag a year on bread! Well… I gave it a try… and can’t say I was won over. The two tastes really just don’t work together for me. Oddly enough I tried it on hot buttered arepas and quite liked that though, so maybe I’m just odd 
My favorite use by far though has been on pancakes, especially after covering the pancakes with jam 
Now -that’s- the yum! Next stop for these ‘granules’… CUPCAKES!! stay tuned

so, it’s not like nutella then?
bread and nutella is good, bread and chocolate is good, but I’d probably skip the butter. Although…I did finally learn the joys of toast butter and jam!
you know i still haven’t tasted nutella? tru valu used to carry it but when i looked last week there wasn’t any. i must check hi lo next time i’m there
toast and jam is love 
chocolate and pastry is love 
chocolate and bread, as written above, left me feeling despondent 
Think it was the butter? 
ah seein’ yuh in meh reader roll

I am so delighted that you liked everything in the parcel! It has been great fun reading your thoughts about each item. I have tried to guess which was your favourite in the parcel, but am not quite sure.
I too prefer hagelslag with pancakes or ice cream – not on sandwiches/toast. There is a big difference between hagelslag (chocolate granules) and nutella – I used to eat nutella sandwiches often in my teens!
I will continue to read your blog, which was unknown to me before BBM – and will try some Trinidadian recipes soon!
Have fun!

Wonderful Eva! So glad you are still reading! I made the tagliatelle today and it was so wonderful!!!
Funny that you asked about what was my favorite thing… you are right I don’t think I have compared the items per se, I tried to take each on its own merit 
Does that make sense? 
I could have had more of everything so I know that means I loved them all !!
