Rich dark chocolate truffles but the cherry is nearly drowned out
Each of these big chocs weighs about 22 grams and has a very thick bittersweet dark chocolate shell decorated on the top with a pretty design 2 red cherries attached to milk chocolate stalks. Inside is a very rich and unctuous dark chocolatey alcohol ganache with a small kirsch soaked cherry in the middle. Unfortunately the boozy cherry whilst tasty is almost an afterthought, being almost completely overwhelmed by the predominant powerful cocoa combination of the shell and ganache.This is the second type of Ickx I have tried and a very thick outer chocolate shell, especially on the top is common to both. For me the emphasis should be on the filling inside, with a light chocolate shell as an introduction to the delights to follow after the shell is broken.

Artisan handmade Belgian chocolates
There are 2-3 makes of small family owned and run Belgian chocolatiers on Amazon. The chocolates are delicious and I like to support them. I brought little black zip lock type bags to portion these into for gifting (see my other review). In these large boxes you get a generous amount, just right for sharing. My only disappointment is that all the crispy decorations were loose or had fallen off.

As in I'd happily eat them if they were hanging about
I'm a bit mixed on these.Pros:- chocolates taste nice/ok. As in I'd happily eat them if they were hanging about, but I wouldn't particularly go out of my way to buy them.- at around £7.70/kg they're reasonably cheap for ok tasting chocolate.Cons:- the packaging is very ugly.- the packaging isn't well sealed/not sure how fresh they'd stay if not eaten soon.I did like them and ok at the price, but honestly I prefer Lily O'Brien's.

Big disappointment
These came in a plain white box. They taste quite bland, could not taste of any strawberry at all. The best before date is only one month away fron date of purchase. There's a white residue on the outside of the chocolates, I'm guessing this is due because they are nearly out of date. They look fancy but taste like cheap chocolates. What a big disappointment.

Tastes Cheap!
Sadly, this tastes of very little. The chocolate is very cheap and the biscuit on top is very unpleasant. If you take it off, it improves the chocolate very slightly. Now I'm stuck with 1 kg of chocolate that I wanted to treat my girl friends to over a special weekend. Next time I'll go to Thornton's!

Tasty Chocolates
The advert states Beautiful presentation and I assume they are meaning the chocs, not the packaging The box is a very plain white cardboard box, inside they have 3 rows designed to take 24 each. however as the chocs are sold by weight and one box fits all their loose chocs, the top shelf had about 8 missing. These are designed for party's where you transfer them to dishes etc and also ideal for restaurants who give a free choc at the end of the meal . The chocolates are, in my opinion absolutely delicious . one of the most pleasant I have ever tasted, the soft centre is outstanding, so much so I promptly ordered another box.

not bad at all but...
the dog got at them and ate over 650g!He is fine, but I am very annoyed about it as these are quite nice - on a Warehouse Deal I thought that they were good value, but not worth the full price. For eg there is Amaretto in them but you would never know it. I had to eat all the chocolate off the filling to get an idea of what the filling tasted like - perfectly pleasant, but bland.

Absolut minderwertig!!!
Die mangelhafteste Lieferung die ich je erhalten habe. Zum verschenken nicht geeignet. Alles weiß angelaufenen und zerbrochen. Keinen Stern wert!
