Beautiful and artissan chocolates. Taste good, too. Love them all.

Wow! These beautiful works of art are mind-blowingly delicious. Smooth, complex flavors ignite the taste buds and transport the eater to another dimension. These would make a perfect gift to the person in your life who understands that the enjoyment of foods begins with a feast for the eyes, followed by savoring the melding of of flavors. I've tasted gourmet chocolate on three continents and these are the best I have had.

I’ve never been inside but my husband came home with a box as a surprise. The box was even cute and opened up with two wings to display the chocolates. My first thought was, “They’re pretty but I’ve had so many “gourmet” chocolate bars that these probably aren’t any better”. Well, I was wrong. The turtle wasn’t chewy and melted in my mouth. So smooth! Normally you get something that’ll break your teeth or the caramel is so thick it sticks to them. This caramel was delicate, not liquid. Every chocolate one need up being so smooth. They’re nothing like the bars I’ve tried and I’ve tried many in chocolate stores specializing in their own recipes. The next box is shown in my photos. I tried a blue one with coffee in it. Again smooth and full of flavor. I’d definitely recommend a box as a gift to anyone and call it a day. With these, you don’t need to buy anything else. The presentation with the box is special in itself and then you get the chocolates your friend or loved one will have trouble staying away from.

I was nervous at first trying a new place I cannot easily visit locally. I was also a bit nervous about the shipping since it is required overnight and doesn't seem to have anything to sustain cool temps in the box. However the website information, video and solid reviews made me give it a try. I also am only a bit north in Dallas and the temps have been reasonable so I figured either way I'm covered these "cooler" winter months.The shipment did come well bubble wrapped and the wrap was part thermal shielded it appeared so once unboxed as soon as it arrived they were still chilled.So glad I gave them a try because these are amazing. I have a few other "fancy" chocolatiers that I like to order from but those are more high quality and great standard chocolates. These are more of an experience and edible art forms. It is really difficult to express the explosion of flavors that hit you over and over as you take a bite and savor the taste. Extremely impressed with the entire experience.Presentation of the box, the chocolates and then the flavors really make these unique and exquisite.Of note:I was also a bit worried as FedEx has been garbage since Covid started but thankfully this is one shipment they did not run into problems with.

Bought a 16 piece box for my parents around Christmas. The packaging was noticeably high quality, and the chocolates were amazing. The flavor guide they include was useful as well.

Simply beautiful!! My husband knows I love chocolate so when he came home with theses I was amazed. The presentation alone is amazing. Every piece of chocolate is a work of art. They are absolutely beautiful. The flavors are so unique and so very delicious. This gift will surely make anyone smile.

Delicious and definitely exotic. The flavor combinations were exquisite and complimented each other perfectly.

Jan. 11, ‘22 - Went out for a date day and girlfriend wanted chocolates. Girlfriend got chocolate and was happy.10/10 the chocolatier was SUPER friendly and seemed like she was having a great day. If that person sees this, I hope all your future days go as well as the day you served us. ❤️

Worth every penny. Artisan chocolates are all about elevating the palate and experience of the devourer. No, they do not always taste how we expect or even how we would prefer. They are art. And like any form of art, fine chocolate is very subjective, yet each piece is worthy of our respect! I chose this particular gourmet chocolatier because the quality was obvious, and I intended to make a lasting impression with my purchase. I just wish that I was able to try some of the chocolates myself. One thing that confused me, though, was the pricing. It was in the low 2 dollar range per piece, but 45 dollars for 16 pieces. Perhaps if you buy it per piece, it does not include a box? If that is the case, I definitely would recommend the spending the extra money for their larger sizes, as the boxes only get more intricate and beautiful.
