As a Physician and Surgeon - I am very concerned with the physical fitness of my patients. The Gayles Truffles are, without question, the best "low cal" chocolates I have ever tasted. My favorites are the milk chocolates, but they are all very good. Only drawback - they are expensive, and the portions are small, but satisfying.

Ordered these for Valentine's Days plans which never panned out, so I had them all to myself, and I think I got the better end of the deal.
They were sent rather promptly, and arrived quickly. The packaging was intact, and there was only a slight dent on the top of the truffles from the packaging, but they were not some ball of gooey dough or anything.
As for size, they're slightly smaller than a golfball, so be sure to have a sweet tooth before you order. Taste-wise, they're rather good. The cocoa is not overwhelming, and you can certainly taste the chocolate underneath. There's also enough of each truffle to give you a satisfying feel after eating one, as opposed to some of the smaller packaged truffles where you eat a dozen and only then realize half the box is gone, one of these at a time will do.
The only real Con I can think of, is that I still tasted a bit of whichever oil they used to sure up the truffle (safflower, coconut, etc.), and it slightly took away from the chocolaty taste.
However, don't let that stop you too much. They were plenty chocolaty, and I mean chocolaty, not loaded with sugar.
For the price I ordered them at (around $3 I believe), they were a great little treat, and I've been remiss about letting the review go so long.
If you have a few spare bucks to spoil yourself and don't mind waiting for shipping, grab these, or order the bigger pack. You won't be disappointed unless you're looking for the absolute top-quality truffles (in which case, you'll be spending ten times the amount).Get more detail about Scott's Cakes Cocoa Covered Dark Chocolate Truffles 4 Pack Box.
I sent these to my mum for Mother's Day and I am delighted to report she was most impressed so much so that I will be re-ordering soon! The truffles are large, coated thickly with a chocolate shell and have a mouthwatering, creamy, fudgy interior. Hooray - I did something right for once!Get more detail about Scott's Cakes Chocolate Fudge Truffles 1 lb. Box.

Although these chocolates can be listed as "low carb", they do contain some sugar. I try to avoid all sugar so if I had known that, I probably wouldn't have ordered them. I also would have missed tasting these sinfully rich truffles. They are so good they melt in your mouth. These are so rich, you will be satisfied eating just one at a time. They aren't too sweet or bitter. Very creamy. I wouldn't hesitate to get these again for either my self or as a gift.Get more detail about 16 pc Gift Box - Dark Chocolate Truffle.

The truffles were positively YUMMY!. A few of the truffles were a bit squished by the postal service, but they were still absolutely delish. When I've purchased truffles from other companies, I found them overpoweringly sweet. But Scott's truffles were just right. They had the perfect amount of sweetness. The consistancy of the truffles was a bit more like fudge than a truffle. But when you're as much a chocoholic as I am, it really doesn't matter. Just gimme CHOCOLATE! Gimme GIMME! I will definately order from Scott's Cakes in the future!Get more detail about Scott's Cakes Cocoa Covered Dark Chocolate Truffles 1/2 Pound White Gourmet Box.

Oh yes! Kama Sutra Cocoa Casbah Dark Drinking Chocolate is sooooooo goooood! Again, like all the Chocolat Moderne products, this drinking chocolate is perfectly balanced. If you are a fan of the coconut like I am - - this drink is a must try! The flavors - - (dark chocolate and coconut) - - and spices - - (cardamon and clove) marry beautifully and seem to dance on your tongue. Drink it hot for a warm all over feeling - - not in a, "I just built a snowman kind of way" - but more in a seductively, warm sexy slow building climax kind of way. Just like the Kama Sutra, this drink will leave you breathless, flush and DEEPLY SATISFIED!

Over the last few years I have bought these for my family and to give as gifts. They have consistently tasted great. The company has always shipped quickly and securely.
I love it when someone tries them for the first time. Similar to my first impression, they can't believe this is so low in calories AND tastes so rich.
Try an assortment to start. As with anything, you'll like some flavors more than others, but it will give you a nice sampling.

I ordered these last year for my son (who was away at college). He told me they are quite possibly the best candy he has ever tasted! He just raved about them. They were a real hit, and I am ordering them again this year (he is now in law school, so a whole new group of students may get to taste them -- if he can bring himself to part with any this time).
They were shipped promptly and arrived in fine condition.Get more detail about 16pc Handmade Guinness Chocolate Truffles.
I have received the chocolate as a gift from someone who brought it from Belgium. I ordered this for my husband and the company accidently sent Milk Chocolate when I had ordered Dark Chocolate. I called the company and explained the error. They sent the dark chocolate overnight to correct the problem and let me keep the milk chocolate. I was very happy with how they handled the error. I would definitely buy from them again. Get more detail about Leonidas Belgian Chocolates: 2 lbs Milk Chocolates Assortment.
If you want the northwest style Frangos and don't live in an area where Macy's sells them out of their stores in the Pacific northwest, this is as close as you're going to get. Everywhere else (including online) they sell the Marshall Fields style Frangos, which are an entirely different chocolate.
These mints are made on most of the same equipment as the Fredrick & Nelson's style Frangos were. The company was started by a person who made Frangos on the top of the old F&N building. So these are northwest Frangos in all but name.

I'm a big fan of the Aloha Island Gold Kona so I decided I should try the Diamond & Platinum this time.. so glad I did. The Diamond is a coffee unlike any I have ever had before. The flavor profile is earthy, woodsy and smoky, very complex and dense and rich while being extremely smooth and without any bitterness to it at all. The ulitmate for a true coffee lover. The platinum is wonderful too... It's a more delicate coffee but still with the rich smoothness that I have come to expect from this producer. I must try their espresso next....The presentation of the Diamond in the black silk bag is extraordinary as well. I have sent these to my clients for the holidays this year.Get more detail about Aloha Island 100% Pure Kona Coffee and Chocolate Truffles Gift, Great Business Gift Idea.
These are da bomb! As a diabetic and chocoholic, I am always looking for sugar-free chocolate that satisfies my craving with great taste and without the "excess consumption" problems. The flavor of these truffles is fantastic - smooth and creamy, you can't tell they are sugar-free by the taste - and two or three satisfies my desire for a chocolate treat with no after effects. I originally got these at World Market, but they don't carry them anymore, so I'm glad I can still get them through Amazon. Free shipping was offered with a quantity purchase, so I recommend buying a lot and saving some money!Get more detail about Dela Viuda - Sugar Free Milk Chocolate Truffles by latienda.com.
A passionate and very serious home cook that has been honing her cooking skills for the last 25 years, concentrating on Italian cooking for the last 10 years, writes this review. My favorite cookbooks are "The Professional Chef" by the Culinary Institute and "Culinary Artistry". I am not a trained chef, but I love to cook, and love to collect kitchen gadgets.
What a wonderful little gadget this thing is. How did I ever live without it? It has so many uses. The ones that I have identified in the last few days are as follows:
1. Shaving truffles (try earth.com for your truffles if you don't have a Wegman's)
2. Shaving Parmesan cheese for Carpaccio,
3. Making Chocolate Curls for Chocolate Mousse
4. Shaving Fennel and Red Onion for Orange and Fennel Salad
5. Shaving Summer Squash for "faux" fettuccini pasta
I think the possibilities for this little gadget are almost endless.
The thickness of the slice is very easy to modify with a thumbscrew on the face of the saver. The blade itself appears to be removable for changing of sharpening. The product is make of 18/10 stainless and is very easy to clean. Finally, the device is very thin and stores easily in a drawer. It is such an attractive item I might just hang mine in the kitchen from the handy hole in the handle.
If you love Microplanes or similar hand graters pick one of these up. I adore mine.

We received the Ultimate Truffles as a gift from a friend about a year go. It was a small box which only had about 6-8 Truffles inside. I swear my family was fighting over them! I recently purchased the 1-lb box here on Amazon as a treat for myself and am in complete heaven! These are incredible! Smooth and Creamy these are worth every penny. My only complaint- it was received in a 2-in high box, and only had the truffles on 1 level. Bottom of the box had Bubble wrap in it. That was a bit disappointing, as I was expecting the box to be full when I opened it. For the 1-lb price you get 18 Truffles. Keep that in mind when spending the $30+ dollars for this treat! Worth every penny they are!Get more detail about Helen Grace Chocolates, Truffle Deluxe, 1 lb. Gift Box.
