Andy Anand Sugar Free Belgian Chocolate Truffles | Exquisitely Delicious, You Won't Believe They're Sugar Free | Diabetic Friendly Gift Box | Perfect for Connoisseurs, Amazingly Delicious (15 Pieces)

Absolutely delicious! Great texture, flavor and packaged in a nice box.

Gift for my husband. He is disbetic. Hard to find different sugar free chocolates. He liked them very much.

The box was delivered on time. My 96 year old Aunt was unhappy. The chocolates were ‘jumbled’ and melted. And they didn’t taste good.

So good u wouldn't know they were sugar free

I love these chocolates I am diabetic and haven’t had any type of sugar free chocolate that comes close to. Would recommend to anyone! You can’t tell they are sugar free …

The chocolates themselves are excellent. They're definitely on par with the midrange echelon brands like See's, Ethel M., Lindt, etc. The fact that they're made with minimum/zero sugar alcohols and mostly sweetened with stevia is a huge plus as they actually taste like the chocolate you're expecting without that weird sugar alcohol aftertaste and texture that's so common in this kind of thing. They're definitely a step up from Russell Stover, (tho, honestly, for mass produced candy RS is actually decent, IMO) with the price bump to boot. Speaking of price: Yes, they are expensive, especially compared to the other brands I mentioned above. That said, anything niche like this will be. They simply don't produce enough sugar free stuff, (as compared to standard sugar/corn syrup sweetened products) to get the economy of scale that the big brands can. I've come to accept that, as well as accepting that, if you want decent quality in this space, you're gonna pay what they're asking. The question is, is it worth the price? As I said above, they're really good, high quality ingredients. I won't buy 'em every week, but as a treat every few months? Sure. Here's where things get disappointing. At this price point you'd expect the chocolates to look like they do in the picture above. I wish I'd had a chance to take some photos before these were all eaten, (clearly, they were good enough for my family to devour them almost immediately, sugar or no sugar. LOL) but they were all warped and disfigured. They'd clearly melted and re-solidified at some point, tho I didn't see any "bloom", (that grayish cast that melted/re-solidified chocolate often has) and the taste was still excellent. We had all kinds of melted, distorted shapes in the box but no signs of really melting to goo or anything. Seems like they got juuuust warm enough for them to seriously disfigure. And no, I didn't leave them in the hot sun in the box on the porch or anything like that. They were brought in as soon as delivered and opened shortly after. These babies definitely got mangled somewhere in the fulfillment process. If you closed your eyes you'd still think it was good chocolate, but at this price point it's really unacceptable for all the pieces to be upside down and warped beyond recognition. Hopefully, somebody from Andy Anand will see this and figure it out for future shipments. It seemed to be packed well, but whatever the heck happened, it definitely gave me pause about buying them again for, say, a gift for someone. "Hey teacher! Thanks for teaching my kids this year! Here's a box of brownish-white blobs.". As far as eating them myself, tho? Heh. Not a problem. :)

The best gift for a diabetic chocolate lover!! This is my mom’s favorite gift to receive for Mother’s Day!

Far from "succulent and divine," as advertised, these "truffles," and I use the term advisedly, were dry, crumbly, bloomy, and gray. This indicates they were old and/or stored incorrectly. But at nearly $35, these candies were terribly overpriced and almost undistinguishable from each other. I should have attempted to return them, but Amazon generally won't accept returnesd edibles, so I threw them out instead. The money purportedly goes to "schools for underprivileged children," although I found almost no online corroboration. Good cause or not, however, it doesn't make up for the egregious lack of quality. I'd hoped to give myself a little reward for surviving yet another hard year of pandemic and political fallout, but these candies were such bad value for the money I wish I'd just donated directly to the school. There's already a surfeit of badly made and overpriced sugar-free candies, so the field hardly needs yet another one to place on the top of the teetering fetid pile. Next time I'm buying myself a piece of expensive jewelry or perfume, rather than risking sthe online crapshoot of glossily photographed candies that taste like so much colorful sawdust.
