May cause explosive diarrhea if you dont. | Let me say these are very good and very rich in taste which is good and bad. By rich I don't mean if you look around the Monopoly guys house you would find a box of these. So I found myself eating about eight in one minute which was quite excessive but man they were good. Even my wife ate quite a few and we both agreed to put the bag up or we would finish it up. Not a good thing since in four pieces I think there is fifteen grams of saturated fat and around two hundred forty calories. We usually don't get sweets but when we do we indulge. When you first eat one it tastes really good but after its been chewed the aftertaste sets in. I did notice after a couple the taste gets unbearable so I had to drink something. The dark chocolate is so rich that it is kind of overbearing after awhile but still they are very good. I wouldn't say its my favorite chocolate but they do offer a certain taste I was looking and I am glad I bought them. I wish there was a smaller bag to sample them with but we took a gander and really liked them. Try them out and they might fit your taste. If you are like me you will find yourself eating one after another which I don't recommend. Oh yeah I did have major stomach cramps and a case of diarrhea afterwards but it was worth it just for those moments of bliss. Thank you Donchels. |

I am the atypical chocoholic for only the very best will I eat. Since I tried Donckles no other chocolate will do, and, since it is exorbitantly expensive, I will do without rather than substitute. Shortly after the end of the year, I was able to purchase this wonderful experience from Marshall's department store. Their supplies have long since vanished.
Enjoy! |

I have had the pleasure of tasting true Swiss chocolate and yeah, thats
good stuff, but THESE??? You aint had nothin yet! These chocolates
blow them away! Smooth, creamy, true melt-in-your-mouth bliss! They are
dusted in cocoa powder so at first they taste a little bitter, but once that
cocoa dissolves and you get to the real-deal . . . well, you just have to
experience it on your own. I usually have two a time, the first one I let
melt all the way and the second I let melt a little bit and then I cant resist
the urge to chew it. Both ways are awesome. After eating these, I balk at a Kiss,
turn my nose at Dove, and Ghirardelli? Not even close. So what are you
waiting for? Order the 3 pack! |

In my experience they have only been bested by fresh chocolates, ones that have been prepared that very same day, (e.g., in NYC, a store called Li-Lac, cooks their deserts that very same day and when they run out of them, they run out. They don't try to fake it by using yesterday's product.
But barring those unusual offerings. Donchels is at the top of my list (for truffles). The outer candy is firm, but not not crunchy, and the inner chocolate cream was soft, sweet, and simply melted in my mouth.
I did not experience the gastrointestinal "issues" that some of the other reviewers here speak of because I limited myself to 3 of the truffles spread out through the day (the last being at bedtime). That way I was always looking forward to something a bit later (and it took much will to avoid "cheating"), Certainly during the winter months, shipping should not be a problem (not so for late spring through late fall...these puppies tend to melt unless they are taken very good care of until delivery...I can't speak to that since I've always ordered them in cool/cold environments). My advice: give them a try during the winter. |

I can't stop eating them! The chocolate is rich and just the right amount of darkness and the cocoa dusting is perfectly balanced. The truffle just melts in my mouth. Yum!
The only problem is that they are a winter-only item. They do not ship well if the weather is warm. Make sure to observe the weather before ordering - follow the standard rules for the time of year to ship chocolate or you will receive a yucky block of half-melted chocolate. |

Sadly, they were not labeled, and I had no idea who brought them in. After some searching, and buying truffles that left me disappointed, I got a box of these as a present from my fiancee. I nearly cried tears of joy. It's impossible to describe how delicious these truffles are. The only downside: they melt very easily, so remember to refrigerate, or at least keep in a cool place. Then again, all good things must be treated with care. |

Inside the box was a warm "ice pack" that obviously did not do its job. The chocolate is excellent but wouldt buy and ship from amazon. I dont know what stores may carry them so if anyone has any idesas would love to know. |

I was going to do another round for Mother's Day and now these are more than twice the price and no free shipping?!?!? I give this 3 stars for the lack of value now. Cocoa futures peaked at the end of 2010 which could cause a higher price but there is no possible way it would be over a 100% increase in price and no free shipping is warranted. From what I have seen looking at other products on here, all chocolate products are jacked up on Amazon anyways. I'll pass! |
