Customer Reviews
I'm in the minority, but... I really didn't like these truffles. (ducking and running) To me, a truffle, is creamy and almost fluffy, with a little air as part of the filling in the middle, only a tiny bit firmer than chocolate ganache'. It also has a touch of sweetness, nothing overbearing, but not that mouthfeel and pucker of unsweetened bitter chocolate. I was gravely disappointed. These truffles were like miniature hockey pucks, dusted in so much cocoa powder that I dusted the front of my shirt (nothing new) when I went to eat them. I was all set to go and devour when the package arrived, but ugh. I ended up storing these in the freezer, where I'll use them in a nice brownie or other chocolate dessert. Otherwise, they'll end up getting pitched when I clean the freezer.
Get Fat and Die Happy... Indulge! Great chocolate at a great price. Got these as a birthday gift and they are truly memorable. Put these on your "Bucket List"
Wonderful chocolate, but... I love chocolate, LOVE IT! In all forms and types, and a long time ago I found truffles that looked and tasted just like these! From other reviews I have learned that this is the same type of truffle sold under different names. I was so happy to find the truffles I've been looking for for YEARS. However, I was stripped to nothing because of their shipping prices. I got two boxes, and the shipping was half again the cost of the item itself! Now, for a chocolate lover lusting for the truffles she had so long ago, the money was worth it. But in retrospect, I find this a cheap and tacky way to earn your money. The truffles cost a good bit, so I don't understand why would they make the shipping so darned high! And it's not even GOOD shipping, its the 3-5 day 'We'll get to it later...' shipping. And it took them 4 days to get the boxes out the door. I will not be buying my truffles from this buyer again. Or probably anything, for that matter. Edit: 5 days and they haven't shipped them yet...
