They are ok , I like that they are individually wrapped.... In my opinion they are comparable to Whitman chocolates.

You don't have a choice of what you get in the TSV, it's a mixture and you can't tell them what to send you. Reviews are mixed. Some like them, some don't. It's a pretty pricey TSV unless you have situations in which to gift chocolates, i.e. You know the recipients want and will eat them. IMO gifting candy is not a sure thing any more.

I didn't care for it at all. But some people have said it was better when it was sold at hsn. I cannot speak to that, as I didn't try it until QVC was selling it and I would not purchase it again.

Oddly, the Waggoner brand (that is sold at SHQ) is made by the same family and is quite a bit better.

It tastes just like chocolate you can purchase at your local drug store - it is not worth the calories.

I know fudge I bought on vacation was a fortune and I like what I make at home better.

Save your money. You can buy better tasting by buying ghiardelli or dove.

I've never really thought fancy chocolate was any better than average chocolate. I'm not talking real cheap stuff. I think the tins are what sells them. Great for gifts I think, I certainly wouldn't turn them down.

It says you are getting an equal amount of what they are showing.

I have no idea because I never tried them - and I keep telling myself they're no good just so I won't try them!

Anything that works to keep my fingers away from chocolate!

I know that. The OP said she didn't want dark chocolate, just milk chocolate. That is not an option with the TSV, though I'm sure can be ordered from the HL website, it just won't be the TSV value or configuration.

i am definitely getting one set, maybe both. SEES are my all time favorite chocolates, but the price and presentation of these looks so good i want to try them. they will make nice inexpensive hostess gifts. i LOVE that the nutcracker tin can be used as a bottle of wine holder also.

Oh wow really, for 10 dollars a pound? I don't mind paying higher prices for quality chocolate but I'm not paying 10 bucks a pound Whitman's.

not very good imo

FunkyHulaGirl — Sun, 19 Oct 2014 21:06:47 GMT

They used to be good, but I got some for Christmas last year. Tried a couple...gave the rest away; they were downright nasty, IMO. I'd rather have one of those pounder chocolate bars from Trader Joe's!

Re: Harry London

RedTop — Sun, 19 Oct 2014 21:19:16 GMT

The presentations make them look yummy, but to me they were absolutely nothing special. So glad I tried them on my MIL's dime, and did not pay for something that is just "okay".
