Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares Valentine’s Caramel Trio Review – 4 stars

In Ghirardelli’s words: Rich, slow-melting chocolate and luscious buttery caramel filling. Discover the Ghirardelli difference!

Ghirardelli's Valentines caramel chocolate trio squaresThis was so good!!! But I was SO DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!!!! In me!!!! I bought ONLY one bag, not remembering how good their wrapped chocolate squares were. Also, the packaging was not appealing: the pink metallic bag although sort of festive with a Valentine color, didn’t spell out quality to me.

The chocolates were great, though!!! Each square is completely different, yet has a caramel filling. Let’s take a look at them:

  • Dark Chocolate Caramel: I’m not wild about dark chocolate – and this is very dark, almost bitter – but the sweet caramel makes a brilliant marriage with it.
  • Milk Chocolate Caramel: Sweeter, of course, with excellent chocolate flavor, and yet not TOO sweet! Probably my favorite!
  • Dark Chocolate Sea Salt  Caramel:  The salt really made this stand out – such a refreshing switch (even though everyone and their dog is adding salt, our oldest spice, to goods!)  Also an exceptional combination.

The disappointing part?  They had a whole case full of these bags, on sale for $2 each at Vons. It was a few days before I could get back to that Glendale Vons and they were all gone!!!! 🙁 Is there anything worse than missing out on a deal of something you really want? I think not.)

Next year I’ll remember this sale. Maybe.

What Others Say About Ghirardelli Chocolate Valentine’s Trio

At least Amazon never disappoints! Always a chuckle in their reviews.

?????I agree this is total yummmmmm. The saltwater caramel is addictive! This is a really good mix, with the dark chocolate. It shipped promptly and was packaged well
?????Deliciousness. less cream than Hershy but enough for a non bitter intensely chocolate taste. Yum
?The candy was melted. We tried to put it in the fridge to see if that would help and it just made it worse. My husbands Valentines day present was ruined.
?packaged sloppily
also the chocolate look expired, but at the same time it was edible becuz my family ate it and they seemed fine
Using your family to test food for safety? That works for me. /sarcasm
I couldn’t find any other reviews. I assume everyone just ate them too quickly.

What do you think? Will you be trying it out?

Final Cut: 4.5 stars
