A fold-out card described each confection as well as the theme – tried and true flavor combos that remind the curators of classic candy bars.

All the candy was in this pretty white box with an elegant Chellaoui ribbon tied in a bow.

Ah my precious. 10 beautiful chocolates ready to enjoy. Could you possibly bear stretching this out over a month? I could not. Fortunately I have a great excuse – the review! The card noted the best by date (August 30) but let’s get real.

The outside of each is coated in tasty dark chocolate.

From left to right:

Cocoa Nib:  Filled with intensely dark ganache and crusted with some beautiful nibs on top. This one was all about the dark chocolate goodness.

Shortbread Caramel: This was a super fresh shortbread cookie layered with caramel and with milk chocolate on the bottom of the candy instead of dark. It was really delicious and some of the best shortbread I’ve had recently.

Coconut: Hello Mounds, except so much better. Once you stick to fancy chocolate it’s impossible to go back to mass-marketed stuff. I didn’t know that I was a fan of chocolate and coconut until this – the inside was much less sweet than your typical drugstore candybar.

Nougat: This is basically like a Snickers without peanuts or caramel – but the light fluffy meringue is blended with peanuts so you still have that flavor. It’s sweet – but not toothachingly so (like I find Snickers).

Salted Peanut: Flaked with sea salt on top, it was reminiscent of a Reese’s cup but very very tasty.

It was really hard not to make comparisons to off-the-shelf candy for this month because really, this is a high-end twist on those favorites. I thought the chocolates were intense and exquisite, and if this sort of subscription is your thing, you cannot go wrong with selecting Chellaoui. I liked the theme pairing and it was apparent from the flavor and texture that top notch ingredients and techniques are used!

    I love the idea of a high end chocolate subscription but are there preferences for if you only want milk chocolate etc? And $25 for 10 chocolates seems like a lot. They would have to be amazing to justify the cost.
