I was given the box of double the size shown on this site. I love, absolutely love these chocolates. I have gone on line to try to find out how to purchase more but I’ve had no luck finding the site where I can order some of them for myself and friends. Actually, I like any miniature chocolates and can’t seem to find anyone who makes them. Any help? Anyone?

Hello,

I recently was given a 500g tin of Duc D’or chocolates and was at first scepticle because as a chocolate lover I’d never heard of duc D’or before and I allways like to choose my own artisan chocolates to buy.

I read your comments about being dissapointed and I was suprised because I found the Duc D’or chocolates lovely, yes they were well designed and finished, the chocolate was well tempered so had a nice snap when I bit into them and also the flavours I thought were just right. To my experience Belgian chocolates are not too sweet unlike some other chocolates which leave a harsh after taste of sugar on the top of your palate. I found duc D’or to be suptle and smooth on the palate with very nice fillings. The one I really like is the Amande with the whole almond inside which does not get overpowered by the encased chocolate filling.

Maybe you should give duc D’or another go, they really are a fine Belgian chocolate….and I’ve no connections what so ever with the company or anyone who works with them..

Yours sincerely,, Alan Raymond. Ireland.

I have picked these up in the UK for 99p for the size shown and £1.99 for the next size up, that is basically two of the try above in a longer box (witch would make the bigger box 1p more for the same amount)

I was disappointed in these, they seemed quite bland (a little like the lack lustre and vague menu) all tasting much of a muchness, I certainly would not be able to tell them apart or identify them in a blind test.

That said, for a pound they look nice, and are a little different.

Hi Dom – we have a lot of the D’or (or should that be D’oh?) varieties here in Australia and they’re bland. If you get given some as a gift, avoid eating at all costs and instead open them immediately and offer some to the gift giver!

Ooh, they’re exactly the same.
Couldn’t tell you how much they cost as they were a gift.

How much did those cost? I picked up something as a house brand here in the States for $1.99. They’re not bad, kind of fun because the pieces are so tiny and cute. But I agree that they all tasted the same.
