We ordered this chocolate to give out as a "door prize" of sorts. Just a nice little thing to say "welcome, glad you are here". The chocolate is good (as Ghirardelli usually is) although it isn't my favorite dark I have ever had, so I gave the chocolate itself 4 stars.

The packaging on the individual wrappers is incredibly tacky though. There are sayings like "A reward for beating my best friend in tennis...again" and "Gets me over the hump between breakfast and lunch" and the worst/least professional in my opinion: "A delicious start to Friday night happy hour." Come on! Are you kidding me? This just seems like something I would expect to find on a Hershey's Kisses wrapper (if it could be done) but not what I expect from a quality company like Ghirardelli. We gave these away last year and they didn't have any "clever messages" on them and the packaging was very tasteful and classy. Unfortunately we can't return and reorder at this point, so we are stuck with these. I will be a bit embarrased to pass these out this year. 0 stars for the packaging.

I ordered these to give out as gifts as the package had a festive look, but received a straight forward normal retail packaging.

So, I am a vegan and had no idea that this dark chocolate contained milk fat, I wondered why it was so good:D lol So make sure you read the ingredients closely when you are watching what you eat, I didnt. So other then that fact, this is a delicious dark chocolate, you will not be dissapointed.

We are told that dark chocolate contains a healthful type of oil, some nutritionists saying that one half ounce per day can be beneficial for one's blood pressure without adding much at all to total caloric intake. What a good thing that something this tasty can be good for us!
