Harry London Chocolates

I ordered them last year and didn't care for them. To me, they were tasteless and waxy. If you don't like a food item, Customer Service will issue you a refund. They don't want the food back. I haven't had Whitman's in years.

I got some for Christmas - they're OK, not great. I'd take one pound of Godiva over six pounds of Harry London.

I tried them years ago and thought they were awful. Way too sweet for me.

And how gourmet can chocolate really be if they sell tons of it every year on QVC alone every month.

Someone gave them to me as a gift once. They weren't even as good as Whitman's chocolates, which aren't bad at all. The Harry London's were bland and "chewy", when they weren't supposed to be chewy.

Some are great, others okay, but then I am not a chocoholic, but my family members are. I thought I was through ordering as I had been ordering twelve pounds every Christmas for DD's teachers and friends, and some for us, but now that she is going to college, I just ordered six pounds for her dorm floor.

I didn't like them one bit! Just cheap and unpleasant tasting to me. In all fairness, however, I did hear that it was a good brand back when it was on hsn. I don't know if that's true or it's just completely a matter of taste, but I didn't order them until they were on QVC. I wish I hadn't.

OTOH, the other brand that I guess is somewhat related and is now sold on SHQ is pretty good. I want to say Waggoner's or something like that. HUGE difference. I wanted more of those.

I'm surprised any of the shopping networks are selling this sort of thing at this time of year, though. Chocolates don't fare well during shipping in the summer unless you are ordering from a place that will put them in dry ice or some sort of special packing for shipping.
