Shokolaat is a restaurant, bar, and chocolate shop; a nice combination. I'll have to come back.

Hershey's Kisses
New York Cheesecake flavored creme
OK - Good
Weight: 1.3 oz. (36 grams) total - for all 5 kisses per package
Calories: 190 calories total (for all 5 pieces); approximately 38 calories for 1 piece
Cost: $ 0.99
Purchased from: Walgreens, Palo Alto, CA

These Hershey's Kisses with New York Cheesecake flavored creme centers were quite sweet (a bit too much so), and were somewhat artificial tasting. But, then again, mentioning New York Cheesecake sets a high bar, by conjuring up wonderful cheesecake memories in my mind.

Very Good. As mentioned previously, I'm not usually a huge fan of cordials. However, this one had a combination of a nice dark chocolate and an authentic-tasting raspberry center (like a good raspberry jam - including the seeds). Much better than the artificial flavor that some other cordials possess.

Cherry Cordial
Very Good; I really enjoyed both the dark chocolate covering and the cherry center more than other cherry cordials I remember tasting (I'll admit that cordials are usually not my favorites.)

I'm not as fond of caramels (especially milk chocolate ones) and cordials. I decided to eat these last in the assortment box I received. This means they were also "older" by the time I got to them. So, my apologies if I'm not giving these a fair shake.
