Money Magazine put together a panel of women ages 20 to 70 to sample 5 popular Valentine's Day chocolates. Taste and presentation were considered, along with value.
Target: Choxie Signature Collection, $25
Target: Choxie Signature Collection, $25
Grade: D
What it includes: 12.5-ounce box; nine pairs of uniquely flavored truffles, from Sea Salt Caramel to the greenish-colored Pistachio
Price per piece: $1.39
Signature piece: A rasberry truffle that resembles a red moon rock
Taste: Yuck! The chocolate is waxy, fillings weirdly inedible. Panelists could barely get past the first bite.
Presentation: The box has a clean and contemporary look, but the bizarre looking chocolates don't exactly say "Yum."
The bottom line: This chocolate doesn't just push the envelope - it seals it and sends it to freak-show central. It's hard to imagine anyone eating this stuff.
