Trader Joe’s The Art of Chocolate
So for the same calorie count that you’re used to with a candy bar, you can indulge in these cute little bon bons. They’re a perfect little stocking stuffer, especially when you see that the price is $1.99.
There’s even a little guide to each of the pieces (I’ll go kinda clockwise starting at the top with the biggest piece):
Though you could just pop each piece into your mouth whole, I bit each in half while eating them, so there are 18 bites total ... a nice way to slow down and enjoy such a small portion. The selection is a little sweet and hazelnut-focused for an assortment for me. I wanted a bit more dark chocolate (and the dark ones were good). As a change from the normal Toblerone or tube of Droste as a stocking stuffer, party favor or office gift, these are pretty spectacular. As something I’d grab to satisfy me, they don’t quite make it. Update 1/10/2008: It looks like these may be made by Duc d’O, check out Chocablog’s review. Related Candies

Commenting is not available in this channel entry.Okay. I’ve been needing to go to TJ’s anyway, but after reading this post I went RUNNING there tonight! OMG, these chocolates are so good! I’m used to the peanut butter cups they sell year round, which are mediocre in my opinion. I’m quite impressed with these little chocolates, though. Thanks for adding to my calorie intake!
Thank you for reviewing these! I agree that they’re too sweet, but I’m in love with how cute they are. I used some to decorate a cheese tray for a party and they were gone in an hour. I think they’d make an adorable garnish for a dessert. And yes, they’re definitely going in the stocking.
are you sure it is that many calories?
its quite low.. and a bit unbelievable.
Shana - that’s the calories per ounce that I list (so that all candies can be compared on the blog on a one to one basis). 167 per ounce is actually one of the highest caloric densities on the blog.
