| - Sorry, but I cannot give them more than 2 stars, since I've been to quite a few chocolate shops in various areas and I have a Godiva and a Ghiradelli where I live. Tere are two different areas of chocolate here - pre-bagged and by it by the pound from a case. At $27 per pound, I expected the chocolate in the case to be excellent. First, hubby and I had the chocolate covered peanut butter balls. You could not really taste the chocolate and the PB flavor was weak at best. Ok, maybe the next one is better. Had the cherry cordials, not bad, but still could not taste much cocoa flavor. Ok, caramel was next up. The caramel was not bad, but not melt in your mouth buttery caramel flavor like I expected. The bagged double-dipped chocolate peanuts were the best of the lot and the only reason I gave it two stars.
When you buy a bag of Ghiradelli from Walgreens and you can taste creamy, rich chocolate flavor for $4 bucks but cannot taste the rich cocoa flavor at $27 / lb, I have an issue.
It really wasn't worth the money or the calories and I don't like giving bad reviews, but this was not top notch chocolate. Hubby and I were both disappointed and I was really sad that I didn't get my chocolate fix. Guess I'm eating all of my hubby's Ghiradelli to make up for this sad, sad chocolate day....
