Review of Chukar Cherries Milk & Dark Chocolate Sampler Gift Box - 1 Pound

When I lived in Yakima Washington, my husband used to bring home boxes of Chukar Cherries made right in the Valley. This company also makes delicious jams, sauces, roasted nuts, dried fruit energy snacks and whole fruit gifts and specialties.

The Alexander-Auld family moved from Seattle in 1988 and purchased a 100 acre cherry orchard. In order to preserve the cherries, they started to dry the cherries after they were picked in June and July.

Once the cherries were covered in chocolate they could last 9 months when sealed and stored in a cool, dry place.

The delicious dehydrated cherries (intensifies the cherry flavor) are a unique feature of the chocolates and the combination of seductively smooth chocolate and dried cherries makes these one of my favorite chocolates.

The Chocolates in this box include the delicious:

Cabernet Chocolate Cherry - Smooth semi-sweet chocolate melts on your tongue and then as you bite into the chocolate there is a delicious burst of cherry and red wine.

Dark Chocolate Amaretto Rainier Cherry - A somewhat creamier exotic chocolate with a subtle Rainier cherry flavor.

Mocha Latte Espresso Bean - Crunchy, heady mocha flavor and my favorite chocolate in this sampler. I could see giving an entire box of these to a coffee connoisseur.

Bing Chocolate Cherry - Cherries covered in a naturally red, milk chocolate.

Dark Chocolate Vanilla Almond - Crunchy roasted almonds dipped in dark chocolate. Pure almond vanilla and chocolate pleasure.

Truffle Chocolate Cherry - Creamy truffle bliss. A sweet milky chocolate filling covers a dried cherry.

Black Forest Chocolate Cherry - Less sweet and rolled in dark cocoa.

Dark Chocolate Pecan Passion
Milk Chocolate Cherry
Double-Dipped Macadamia Bite
Milk Chocolate Honey Pecan
