Manner Wafers: Apricot

another delicious wafer from the fine folks at Manner. generally i don't care for apricot flavoring, i find it usually tastes like a watered down peach or tangerine flavor; but the flavor of this creme is pretty good. it contains apricot powder as well as artificial apricot flavoring, i think the powder helps lend a more subtle flavor, unfortunately it also adds a bit of a powdery flavor when eaten solo. when coupled with the tasty little wafers, however, the powdery aspect isn't as noticeable.

Manner Wafers: Dark Chocolate Covered Hazelnut

oh baby, these are good. the perfect blend of chocolate (the dark variety), hazelnut and wafer. these wafers are great - they're delicate and flaky, sandwiched between layers of hazelnut creme. i also like the creme here, although it's a little pastier than some, it has a pretty good hazelnut flavor without being too sugary sweet or milky (there are real hazelnuts in here too, that's nice). even better than the regular wafers, these are smothered in dark chocolate which is quite good; it's slick and smooth. i love these wafers mostly because they are fun to pull apart and eat in layers.
