 Bad Experience purchase this productJan 21, 2010
By RDW
"Lover of great Science Fiction, Mysteries, Detective Novels and any book that can keep me up reading all night"
Instead of delicious chocolate truffles we received a Donckels box containing a solid block of what looks white soap or wax(doesn't even smell like chocolate and I'm not going to taste it), which I see was the same experience as the other customer reviewing this product today. I have no idea what the substance is, maybe that's what the truffles look like after they've melted in shipping or something but it is certainly not something I am going to eat. What a disappointment, my wife and I had these truffles at Christmas time and they really were the best chocolate either of us has tasted. I've never had a bad experience shopping through Amazon before but this one has left a bad taste in my mouth, exactly the opposite of what I was expecting. BTW the seller was listed on the packing receipt as Potential Dynamix LLC.

 Beware -- NOT a true ganache truffleJan 11, 2011
By J. McLaughlin
I was very disappointed to learn that the "centuries-old Belgian tradition" in this case included the use of palm kernel oil and other non-dairy fatteners instead of actual heavy cream. I don't have the ingredient list in front of me, but it was NOT, for example, what you'd even find in a box of Lindt truffles. It's highly processed junk chocolate, and a huge disappointment. I gave one of the boxes away. That being said, the flavor was decent, so I gave them two stars, but haven't been able to eat more than two of them at a time because of the greasy film in my mouth afterwards. Even with a good flavor, though, selling these as "real" Belgian truffles is marketing bunk, and Donckels should be ashamed of themselves. Better to charge a little more and use quality ingredients.

Delicious chocolate, not shipped wellJan 20, 2010
By Michael Thorn
Someone gave me these chocolates for the holidays and they are terrifice.
I thought that ordering from Amazon would be great but...
It's the dead of winter here and the contents was one hard white block or ..something. The expiration date was two weeks from the date they arrived.
I returned them but I think that I will have to find them in local stores.
They are..the best chocolates I've ever had when they are fresh.

 Melt in your mouth explosionNov 11, 2009
By Michael
These chocolates are absolutely the best. I had a bunch of co-workers come by and have some. I advised them to let the chocolate melt in your mouth... don't chew. A while later many of them came back to tell me about the awesome experience they had. Simply the best chocolate they have had.
The secret is to let the chocolate slowly melt.... as it does you experience a sensational explosion of taste. Wonderful treats. And for this price it is amazing... it rivals the French chocolates at a store down the street..... at a fraction of the price.
Enjoy...and make sure to let these delightful nuggets slowly melt in your mouth.

Control Yourself and You'll be Fine. May cause explosive diarrhea if you dont.Dec 21, 2011
By j-rob-82
Let me say these are very good and very rich in taste which is good and bad. By rich I don't mean if you look around the Monopoly guys house you would find a box of these. So I found myself eating about eight in one minute which was quite excessive but man they were good. Even my wife ate quite a few and we both agreed to put the bag up or we would finish it up. Not a good thing since in four pieces I think there is fifteen grams of saturated fat and around two hundred forty calories. We usually don't get sweets but when we do we indulge. When you first eat one it tastes really good but after its been chewed the aftertaste sets in. I did notice after a couple the taste gets unbearable so I had to drink something. The dark chocolate is so rich that it is kind of overbearing after awhile but still they are very good. I wouldn't say its my favorite chocolate but they do offer a certain taste I was looking and I am glad I bought them. I wish there was a smaller bag to sample them with but we took a gander and really liked them. Try them out and they might fit your taste. If you are like me you will find yourself eating one after another which I don't recommend. Oh yeah I did have major stomach cramps and a case of diarrhea afterwards but it was worth it just for those moments of bliss. Thank you Donchels.
