ALDI has some surprisingly good chocolates. This is one of them. Without saying another word about these, they are really really good.
If you’re on a budget pick up one of these as a holiday present for your kid’s teacher. If you’re not on a budget, get two. They’re worth half a grade point on the kid’s next report card. Cheaper than a tutor!
Price $3.99 per box
Calories 190 per 3 piece serving (16 pieces in the box)

These are very elegant mild dark chocolate truffles with a delicate amaretto flavor. Many many small pieces of nuts and Amoretti cookies inside the truffles give these a surprising, unique and good mouthfeel and taste.
One downside is that the very small pieces tend to stick between teeth and even between tooth and gum. That may leave a desire to brush or floss soon after eating. A second downside is that these are a seasonal item. It may not be until next December when we see them again.
The packaging is as elegant as the chocolate. Each truffle is individually wrapped in a shiny paper with a twisty flourish above the truffle. If put out on a tray, the wrapping helps reduce any concerns about how many people picked up and then put down the truffle.

These are good without being overly exceptional. That’s an odd statement even for me.
There’s a nice bit of chocolate that lives somewhere between a milk and a dark chocolate at the heart of each truffle. There’s no WOW factor to them. They’re relatively inexpensive for the amount of chocolate in the box. And for that price should we expect a WOW factor? The texture in the mouth is smooth and melty. The dusting of cocoa powder adds a bit of taste contrast to the milder chocolate center. Overall these are a very competent chocolate if your chocolate tastes lean towards the milder side of dark chocolate. One won’t, but two or three should help satisfy your chocolate craving. Price $2.49 per box Calories 240 (1.41 oz/40 g serving size)

Brandy, I knew her from the old neighborhood. That’s right Brandy Beans. She and Ben, her brother, lived with their parents in the apartment building down the street on the second floor. Right above them on the 3rd floor were the Shaws. You remember Charlie, now old Charles Shaw, don’t you?

Dark chocolate covered liquid center cherries are my favorite treat. Come gift-giving holidays, the family gets off cheaply as this is my usual present. But no complaints. Will the addition of alcohol to the mix make these even better?
