They were rich, smooth, creamy and had that wonderful crunch that came with the rich buttery toffee. If you can go and review that, it would be brilliant - because now I'm a Marich fan and have no way of getting another bag. :( Just to say – I just tried the Triple Chocolate English Toffees and they were BRILLIANT.

I am the President of Marich (my family's company). I am SO happy we made a positive impression and that you enjoy our Chocolate Strawberries. Thank you for sharing your experniece with the world. In response to Lisa and Kirsti, you are right. Most of the time chocolate & fruit is sickening sweet syrupy and basically overwhelmingly unnatural tasting. We created our Chocolate Cherries in 1984 (our #1 item) and we had to sample them for the next 3 years until we convinced enough people that they were not over sugared abominations. They have been very popular so we added Chocolate Blueberries, the Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, etc. All with the same quality. Kirsti is right, the ones at Starbucks are fantastic and another example of Chocolate & fruit done right. In fact, I like them better than our original Chocolate Cherries. Thanks again for giving us the thumbs up! Victoria,

However, Starbuck's chocolate-covered cherries stand alone, a different breed entirely with a firm cherry inside and the overriding flavor being chocolate. The cherry just hints its flavor and gives a chewyiness. Pick up a box next time you have a caffeine fix- you just may like them! =) Cherry cordials are the ones with that icky, drippy, over-sweet filling, no?

In my opinion, it rarely works. Strawberries, in my mind, are the only exception. I agree with you on the candy/fruit combination. In my opinion, it rarely works.
