5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious, delightful, and a great deal too, July 8, 2008

This review is from: Chocolate Espresso Beans by Dilettante - Dark, Milk, & White Chocolate 3 lbs (Misc.)

Love these beans! The chocolate coating is creamy and smooth, and a little more generous than most. It has a sweeter taste than the coating on some other varieties (sweet, but not cloying). That balances well with the sharp flavor of the espresso bean. The appearance of these is pleasing also. There is an even distribution of dark chocolate, white chocolate, and a pretty speckled milk-on-white that conceals a milk chocolate underlayer.

I like the presentation of Dilettante Chocolates; on the label there are two short paragraphs about the history and practices of the company that incorporate that information charmingly and with a concise flair that is very modern.

And the price for this somewhat decadent purchase, three pounds of chocolate covered espresso beans, is terrific even with shipping. Service was very good too. I received my order within three business days of placing it.

Seattle Gourmet Foods is a company I found through Amazon.com The past few years I have found myself ordering more and more on the internet.I always skipped the reviews because I just thought they were probably written by people who benefited from my purchase. However, I have become very dependent on what my fellow shoppers have to say,and really surprised when I realized Amazon allow customers comments good and bad to be printed.
Anyway that being said I will tell you this product came and was delivered as promised.There are so many in this barrel shaped container it almost seems bottomless.The chocolate covered gems are so rich and creamy with just the right amount of chocolate covering the crunchy fresh expresso bean in the middle.Just a few will do you packing a delicious caffein buzz! I thought they were a bit expensive when I first placed my order, hoping the saying "you get what you pay for" was true I orderd anyway and am very pleased with the value. Getting what I paid for and a whole lot more.

Thanks from one very satisfied customer on Morgantown Pa.

These can be very addictive.

By far, these are the best chocolate-covered espresso beans I've ever tried. Dillettante knows what we love.
