Giveaway #23 – Chocolate by Genevie

Giveaways, More 349 Replies

I got asked to review some chocolates and well, being a kind and suffering soul, I did indeed try them for you. There’s also some to give away but I thought I’d be proper and tell you about them first.

Things I liked about my little box of chocolates by Genevie: the flavours were interesting. I am nuts about anything tropical tasting. It might be to do with teenage years spent drinking Malibu and coke but no matter. I loved the pineapple and coconut chocolate and also the cherry ones. In fact all of them were rather delicious. I even took a few to the tennis club (before you go thinking I’m all posh, I am not, I don’t play, I just sit and watch my son and eat chocolate) and the ladies there liked them too. I also liked the box, it felt like it was made of natural fibres (maybe not?) and was pleasingly robust. Not flimsy in any way. I also liked that the box was plain red and didn’t have a mass of branding across it. Very nice.

Things I didn’t like: This is going to sound very minor, and it is. I’m not mad about the font. I know that’s not nothing to do with the taste of the chocolates but you wanted an honest review, no? I also was a little upset that the key to the chocolates only featured 3/4 of the ones in my box. So for the remaining 1/4 we had to play Russian -chocolate roulette. It’s no biggie.

Lucky for you I have a HUGE £38.95 box to giveaway! The lucky winner will be sent a coupon by email to order the chocs.

  44. reading about the key to the chocolates was hilarious because that would upset me too. I like to sort my chocolates into the few i arnt in love with and ‘share them’ then leave the best ones til last so without a full key how do i know which ones i want first lol. On the other hand i do like surprises so a box gives both a surprise and a partial key. I love chocolate but fruity flavours, pralines and boozy chocs are my favourites

  77. Oh my – These look LUSH ! I suppose if I won I should gift them, but part of me thinks I need a treat too ! Perhaps I could share ? Does that sound fair ?

  123. i am not a chocolate lover but know someone that is so would gift them this lovely box

  172. Um….chocolate! <3 This would make a brilliant christmas present for mum (and me once she's had her fill!_

  189. I would love to win this I would keep it to Christmas to enjoy beside the Christmas tree

  216. I see what you mean about the font. the spacing between the first letter and the rest of the word is perculiar.

  286. I now have a sudden craving for chocolate and I can’t think why…! If I win I’m taking them round my sister’s for film night.

  309. The prize looks lovely. A nice box of chocolates. I would love to win and give these to my mum as a gift.

  327. I have tried a couple of truffles from Genevie, albeit after prizing them out of the sweaty hands of a relative, and they are gorgeous. Would LOVE to try more
