Personally I would like more dessert selections to offer dark chocolate without milk or white chocolate.  I avoid buying food items that include white chocolate, milk chocolate, blueberries,  red velvet anything.  I mention this because there seems to be a food buyer who loves all of those...too many  now in the dessert line up IMO.

I agree, they could offer a dark chocolate selection, if they did I would consider ordering.

I like all those things you mention but can't stand dark chocolate.   I would guess the majority of customers prefer a variety which is why they offer it

Options are always good.

White chocolate is my favorite.  There's never enough white chocolate in the various selections for me.

      I would like to see candy options of that offer NO candy with peanut butter or white chocolate.  I love peanut butter on crackers, toast bread....but hate it mixed in any way with chocolate.   

     And white chocolate - to me - is just like hardened white frosting...way too sweet!

     Most of time, as I consider a candy choice for purchase, I have to weigh how many of the candies are mixed with peanut butter or white chocolate.  Most of the time, there are just too many in a candy offering.  Just can't justify the cost for a purchase that I will end up giving half away....

I like dark chocolate, too, but based on the very pedestrian food offerings, I’m guessing that those offerings match the taste of the average QVC shopper. They are simply providing the types of foods they know they could sell their customers. Imagine if they did a real gourmet holiday where they offered good caviar, king crab legs, foie gras, and ready-to-bake beef wellingtons. I’m guessing people would freak out and revolt. The sad thing is, you could buy most of these foods in the store for less than what QVC charges for a cheesecake or some frosted cookies.

Re: Food flavor selections

[ Edited ]

Very good suggestion.

 

Based on how frequent something like Cheryl's Cookies are presented and have TSVs, I think the buyers at QVC have found their generic holy grail on a lot of food products.  I think Cheryl's Cookies are some of the most "merely OK" cookies I have ever tasted.  But they are sold as if they are the best cookie confection on earth, and they keep selling.  No cute decorated tin or animal shaped box will change the taste of the too-sugary buttercream, or bland chocolate chip cookies.

 

Dark chocolate is the only chocolate I eat (72% cacao please), but it is treated as some sort of fringe delicacy on QVC.  Whoa, don't go getting crazy with dark chocolate!  I loathe white chocolate. Milk chocolate is OK, but has such a wide range of what is good versus what is a waxy mess that I usually stay away from it.  

 

So QVC apparently has enough customers that enjoy the flavor selections they offer and continue to offer.  I'm not waiting on them to widen their selections anytime soon.  I buy elsewhere.

This made me think about how much I love white chocolate so much that I ordered a box of them from Godiva.
