I’ve had several things out of the Choxie line and I hate them all, including their panned items. It’s all foul tasting crap to me. I’v always wanted to try these truffle tiles. But since I’ve loathed everything of theirs I’ve had, these will certainly not be any different. One thing I refuse to compromise on is the chocolate I eat, and if I have to pay an arm and a leg more power to me.

The thing about Choxie is that it’s a huge “brand” an is made by a bunch of different companies behind the scenes. Some of the stuff is good and some is just awful. Dismissing the whole line because of one bad decision by Target to include something isn’t necessarily a mistake, but more like throwing the baby out with the bathwater (if you liked the baby).

I liked their panned items (nuts & caramels) but find their truffles sickly sweet, poorly tempered & badly flavored. Their bars are quite refreshing and usually very well priced.

But hey, stick with what you already know you love … can’t go wrong there!

Whew! Each time I go to Target I ponder the Choxie brand and debate with myself about buying some. Now I don’t have to give that any further consideration! It’s too bad, because the packaging is cute & different and the marketing is clever.

If the writer of this review had liked these “Artisan” things, I would NEVER visit this website again. I have not eaten these, I did try some other god awful product of theirs, and I can honestly say it was, not only the worst chocolate I have ever eaten, but the worst thing I have ever eaten EVER. I tell everyone I know to stay away from this brand, and everyone I have talked with who has had it agrees with me, it should be pulled from the shelfs and never see the light of day again.

Well, I guess the “discount designer” concept works better for Michael Graves tea kettles than for chocolate truffles. I guess I’m not too surprised, quality of ingredients matters more than superficial looks in these candies. Choxsie? Sounds like it should have been “chalk-sie.” Maybe they’ll do better next time.

wow…last year I tried the chocolate flakey truffles…EW. They are not flaky, but have “flakes” stuck to the outside of the truffle…maybe it was just the pack I bought, but it seemed like they were too soft and slightly melted, with no delicious truffle shell. The chocolate tastes like something I could have bought at the dollar store, but these truffles put me back about $3.00 for a pack of 2.

I wish I could check the label for the ingredients in the chocolate in these. But I was so pleased to finally be able to throw them out that I did so immediately after posting the review.

I’m curious about something: Is Choxie considered “real” chocolate, or is it mockolate in disguise?

Nice to see you back again!

I too tried these and couldn’t even muster a review of them. Not I thought they were horrid, but not good enough to eat without forcing myself … and what’s the point of that if it’s candy? I agree they were waxy and uninspired and certainly not worth the price.
