Chocolate Jelly Beans?

nobody@vox.com(E) — Sun, 25 Feb 2007 18:16:26 -0800

I was curious to try this M&M style candy from the makers of Jelly Bellies, a local company called Goetz. (Can you believe I still haven't been to their factory tour?), so I picked some up. These were the "chocolate" assortment which included ca...

Yet another Christmas deal ...

I really wanted to try as many Choxie chocolates as I could, and at 75% off, how could I resist! This mix, however, that I skipped at 50% off, was definitely not worth it. The truffles (sorry, "artisan chocolates") came in holiday themed flavors...

Yet another Christmas "steal". I am a fan of Ghirardelli chocolate, particularly their squares with caramel or mint. I hadn't tried the peppermint bark squares, and I was curious. Well, I should have passed. First thing I was surprised about - ...

This is another of my post-Christmas finds. I loved the Target brand Choxie Espresso Truffle Bar so much, that I wanted to try their other chocolates, but they are expensive! Well, not in comparison to other expensive chocolate, but you go into T...

I've been trolling my local Target for cheap Christmas items, and this was my most recent purchase. I had been wantin to try Kissables anyway, and at 60 cents, who could say no?! They really do taste like Hershey's Kisses, which is good, but as...

I was introduced to Mrs. Prindables apples a number of years ago, and once I tried one I was hooked! I loved the toffee walnut flavor, and had to travel to Neiman Marcus to find them locally. They were only out at Christmas but year-round I crav...

"Lifestyle" chocolates

I was walking home past Whole Foods today and had a chocolate craving, so I decided to go in and see what they had. I guess everyone has their own Belgian chocolates these days, and Whole Foods are no exception. It's not organic, which is a surpr...

This Bissinger's bark is heavenly! My DH bought it for me after we randomly sampled the dark chocolate version at our local upscale grocery store and I fell in love. Even in milk chocolate, it is delicious! This is made with Bissinger's sweet mi...

On my way out of Target today I finally decided to try some of their Choxie chocolate. It isn't cheap, which is usually what I'm looking for at Target, so I haven't tried their chocolates before, but the bar couldn't be too expensive (it was $2) ...
