If you've watched or read Harry Potter, you probably remember that it is full of unusual sweets. Some of these sweets can now be bought and tasted.

I'm a huge fan of the Harry Potter books. I have read books and watched films many times. The world of Harry Potter is full of various things that don't exist in our real life. But it turned out that many sweets can be bought in our world. Of course, these are ordinary sweets, not endowed with magical properties, but it's still interesting to try.

Recently stumbled upon chocolate frogs in an online store. I really wanted to try them, but the price stopped me - 673 rubles for 2 frogs weighing 15 grams each. And for a kilogram, a fabulous sum is generally obtained - 22,443 rubles. In the end, I could not resist and bought it for trial.

Let's show you how they look.

In the movie, the packaging and the frog look like this.

In the film, the frogs, although chocolate, are quite alive. Each package was accompanied by a card of a famous hero of the wizarding world. The packaging was made of paper and in the form of a pentagon.

In reality, the packaging turned out to be much simpler. Plain foil-clad plastic. All inscriptions on the front side are in English.

On the reverse side there is a composition, and it is good here. Cocoa butter is in place and there are no substitutes. The Jelly Belly Candy Company is a world-famous company for the production of a variety of sweets. It's time to look inside.

Inside, a chocolate frog is slightly larger than a matchbox. It is clear that this frog does not jump anywhere from you, and you can safely leave it after opening the package.

In addition to the frog, a card with the character of the world of Harry Potter was found inside. I came across a card with Hengist of Woodcraft. The character is not the most famous, what he is known for, I could not remember. It's time to taste the frog already.

But the taste disappointed me. This is the most common milk chocolate with puffed rice inside. Of course, in this case, the cost is overpriced due to the expensive franchise. But for that kind of money, I expected something more interesting. It's time to take stock.

The chocolate frog disappointed me. It has a very simple packaging, simple taste, but a very high price. I will definitely not buy this for the second time, even though I am a big fan of the Harry Potter world.
