Testimonials
March 26, 2009
We often get a lot of lovely feedback from our loyal chocolate customers. Here's a recent response, and we will be sure to add more soon:
I cannot even begin to articulate how much I love your products. Hands down, the best chocolate I've had. The first time I ever tried your candy was when I was a teenager (1990) and I stopped by the Morrissey Blvd. store in Dorchester several times to get it while I was there. The Heavenly Hash, Chocolate Covered Cherries and The Turtles are just as fantastic as I remember. I am so thankful for the internet mainly because I can once again indulge in the world's best chocolate covered cherries...yours. I want to thank you for making such a quality chocolate and for shipping it. I reviewed your store on Yelp (reviewer name C.L.) but I couldn't do you justice because words are not enough.
Thanks for everything and I will be ordering again before summer gets in full swing.
