Queen Anne Dark Chocolate Cordial Cherries, 6.6 oz Box, 10 Pieces

In the last century these chocolates were a mainstay in gift giving during Christmas season when someone not on our list showed up... carolers, infrequently noticed tradesmen, and people we hardly knew who came to call during the season. My mother would buy a case or two of boxes of one pound cordials. She always added a pair of brown warm jersey gloves or small gift packages of cloth handkerchiefs to the wrapped package. I always try to get cherry cordials at Christmas time for that reason because we would sneak a few boxes for ourselves. At nearly three bucks a box for ten chocolates with puny pieces of cherries, most of them cracked, leaking, and stuck to the tray, I was disappointed. My mother was delighted I bought a few boxes, however, and that's what is important.

It's a good thing that stores generally only stock these during the holiday season because I could easily blow a small fortune on them. Definitely a better deal than those available from other brands. Only the dark chocolate will do as I am not at all fond of the ones with milk chocolate. At 10 to the box, they don't last long.
