Choxie No Moxie

Deidre at Slashfood has tried Target's new “Choxie” Chocolates for us:

The assortment of eight tiles cost $5 and included: chili limon, jasmine tea, orange mango, key lime, lemon rose, apple pie, cafe latte and cinnamon praline. The tiles are brilliantly colored, actually scarily so, and the chocolate used is seriously waxy.

Though I had higher expectations, they weren't that much higher. As I commented over there, Target is still primarily a department store, and the days of department stores with first class candy counters are very very over (though if you know of a good Dept Store candy counter, please let us know in the comments, yo). My trouble with most things Target is that it's too damn far away. Why should I have to go that far for a handful of chocolates? I shouldn't. And I won't. I have noticed that finer “Natural Food Stores” we get a lot of dandyfine chocolate bars. In Spokane, we have Huckleberries. Where do you buy your chocolate? Online? Walgreens? 7-11? Fess.
