Obviously, those of you who don't have a Target in your area are thinking "Huh?". But those of you who do are thinking it's a lot like Wal-Mart, only smaller and a bit more upscale. However, you really wouldn't pin the word "gourmet" to it, would you?
Well, I've tried their new upscale candy line, Choxie, for the second time and I'm quite impressed.
The first thing I tried was some Chocolate Truffles. For such low-priced candy, it was very good. Almost on par with some of the bigger candy chains (still not as good as the ultra-gourmet stuff [Leonidas, anyone?], but good nonetheless).
Tonight, I bought a Peppermint Marbled Crunch Thin (the description -- commence drooling: "the smoothest, richest dark chocolate with a peppermint crunch and white chocolate marble swirl". Okay, wipe your chin). It tastes like a chocolate covered candy cane. Very, very tasty.
Next time you're thinking of having some candy and want something fancier with out the associated price tag, check out Choxie. You may be quite surprised.
