Dec. 26th, 2022 08:53 amWe got a gourmet chocolate advent calendar from Dandelion Chocolate. The wife really wanted to try it, so I agreed. A couple days in I started rating them, and set up a quick Google Sheet, because of course I did. Here are the results and some quick thoughts around that.
My half-assed scale was 1 to 4 cocoa beans. 1 = bad; 2 = meh; 3 = tasty; 4 = mouthgasm. (I did end up giving half ratings, e.g. 3.5 = tasty-plus but not mouthgasm).
The average was 3.1. I never gave any 1s, and I frankly would have been shocked if any had deserved that because if nothing else, Dandelion makes very good chocolate. More than I would have liked were "meh" or "okay" which was what I gave a 2.5. For the price point, none of them should have been below 3 and eight of the 25 were!
The packaging was very good but kind of a waste, because it's going in the recycling bin. Some of the products we may look for on their own but I doubt I'll put a huge effort into it. So, summary: not worth the gourmet cost overall, would not get again.
