“Visited The Chocolate Garden today after seeing
your shop on the Food Network. Had a great visit, and this evening had
our first raspberry truffle. To say it was outstanding would be an
understatement. It was the best piece of chocolate decadence we have
ever had.”

Schererville, Indiana
“Your truffles are excellent! Today was the first time I had a
chance to try them! Very tasty and the best I’ve tasted! Your 9 oz chocolate boxes came in
handy for gifts as I’m on maternity leave and thus, shall I say, don’t get out often!”

“I'm so glad I ordered your wonderful
truffles after seeing your business on Food Finds. I had a
feeling that your truffles would stand out from the rest and I
was definitely right. I kept track of all of the chocolates I
saw on food network for MONTHS. I decided it would be fun to
choose five or six of the places I saw featured on TV, and order
chocolates for my family and friends to give as Christmas gifts,
and I would of course get some for myself too :) Having
sampled the chocolates from all of the other places I've seen
featured on Food Network, I have to say that yours are the best
by far. The others were all very good, but they didn't approach
the level of excellence that you've reached with your truffles.”
Another very VERY happy customer (one of
many I have no doubt),

“My dearest Tina, you have forever changed my
life. Last year I asked my friend to take a 3-1/2 hour trip with
me to try some truffles that I saw on Food Network. She thought I
was absolutely certified until she took a bite of the raspberry
chocolate truffle. And then she knew what all the fuss was over.
Personally, the hazelnut and dark chocolate are my favorites. I
have tried almost every kind of chocolate known to man and The Chocolate
Garden truffles are by far the most amazing experience my mouth has
had.”

“Dear Tina, It is Christmas Eve in Chardon, Ohio
. . . could you hear the contented yummmmmmm coming to Coloma from
the south? We were enjoying the truffles with our children and their
families and yumming and smiling a lot! Thank you for your gift of
creating joy and delight through the enjoyment of your truffles.”

“Dear Ms. Buck, Chief Chocolate
Officer:
Since being established in 1973, our Solera
Cream Sherry has won more Gold and Double-Gold medals than any other
sherry produced in the United States. Over the years, many
desserts and confections have been created using our Solera Sherry
in the recipe. I must say, however, that your Solera Cream
Sherry Truffle towers above anything I have ever tasted in terms of
flavor and complexity--it is indeed a winner!”

“I came across your name on a
listing of chocolate shops from the Food Finds program on the Food
Network website. I checked out your website and was impressed with
the quality of your product. The fact that you make your truffles by
hand and make them to order was what induced me to purchase them for
my mother in law. I wanted her to have something special and realize
that special takes time. Once again, thank you for following up on
my order. It's not often we come across this level of service from
an internet order.”
Marjorie

“I received your chocolates...and OH MY
GOODNESS!!!!!!! Talk about chocolate heaven. You are
now my love!!!! Your truffles are the answer to any chocoholic's
dreams. Thank you for the wonderful shipping/packaging...the
precious joys were not damaged in any way and came all intact.
Look for another order shortly. Thanks again.”
Joan

“Greetings Tina! It's been awhile since we've
ordered. Getting too caught up with all the business of life, moving, etc.
My husband, Kelly and I think about your truffles often and said "We HAVE to
order them today"! Can't WAIT to receive them! Wishing you continued
success!”
Kelly and Tina
Brentwood, California
“My husband and I were on the wine tour last
weekend and he surprised me with a trip to your store. We took
some truffles home with us and have been indulging ourselves every
night. They last a long time if you have just one! They
are wonderful.”
Rene
Goshen, Indiana
“The truffles were received in excellent condition - what
unique packaging! Each day, my Mom and I would select one, divide it in half and
share. Eating these delicacies was a spiritual experience. They are beyond
compare. I will be placing a Christmas order soon. Thank you.”

“Just wanted to let you know how much my
mother in law loved the truffles for her birthday..sending
another batch for Xmas..thanks again for a wonderful product.”
Joanne
Englewood, Florida
“Last week you and I talked on the phone
about getting an order of truffles to me in short order for a
dinner party I was planning. The truffles arrived
Thursday, in plenty of time for my Friday dinner party. My
guests loved them; they were actually moaning in pleasure
when they bit into them. Thanks so much!”
Mindy
Martinez, California
“I LOVE the truffles...they are so unusual!
Tell Tina they are the best I've ever had in Paris bar none! I love the
way they are so soft. Actually, I slice them and eat them slowly that way.
Yummy! ”
Lisa
Paris, France
“Oh my God!! I ordered 8
boxes from you...all gifts...three to be sent here to give away and
five mailed directly to others. They arrived today, with a
package of two for us to sample. We did. I have lived a long time and
have NEVER tasted anything like that. They are just outstandingly
delicious. I mean, they are just Divine. And Yummy, too. Thanks.
Wonderful, wonderful!!.”
Ann
Sarasota, Florida
“Our daughter in Missouri called last evening to
tell us she had received the chocolate truffles. She was delighted with
your product (she is a REAL chocolate lover) and couldn't get over how
unusually delicious they were. Thanks for your excellent service and
exquisite truffles.”
Melvin & Joyce
Leander, Texas
“just a quick note to tell you all at
the chocolate garden how exquisite your truffles were. i
received them 2 days ago and they are already gone. i will order
again soon. many thanks.”
amanda
Allentown, Pennsylvania
“I just received my box of
chocolate "melt in your mouth" treasures yesterday. I have to
admit, all of the positive testimonials were "right-on". Your
truffles are extremely delicate and silky. How do you do it?
They melt in your mouth like cotton candy except with much more
depth in taste and texture. They are the ultimate joy and
pleasure for the chocoholic. This is a wonderful addiction and I
will enjoy feeding my addiction for months to come. My next
order will have to be the pounder!!”
Patty
Fort Huachuca, Arizona
“I was SO impressed with the quality and taste of your
wonderful delectables! The Dark Chocolate are by FAR my favorite and they were
the most heavenly truffles I have ever enjoyed! Thank you so much for making
such a quality handmade treat! (I can’t wait for the next holiday so I have an
excuse to ask for more!)”
Paulina
Louisville, Kentucky
“I just got a box of your truffles today. The
Cinnamon Love is positively wonderful! I also noted that your storage
guidelines say the truffles will last two months if stored properly. I
really don't think there's much worry of them nearing their expiration
date - they get eaten too fast for that!”
Kelly
Chula Vista, California
“Delivery of my order arrived in the time
promised. A practice other retailers should envy. In our initial
sampling, we find your product very deserving of its
reputation-exceeding our expectation. We are fortunate to have
been viewing Food TV at the right moment. You’ll be hearing from
us again. Thanks.”
John
Newport, Rhode Island
“A few of us at work just tried your truffles
for the first time, and we must say they are like nothing we have ever
tried before. Even before biting into those golf ball size delicacies,
we could smell the cherry, raspberry and orange. Once we bit into them
and savored the flavor (apologize for the cliché) not to mention the
soft texture, we were hooked!”
Absolutely the
best!
Jean
HoHoKus, New Jersey
“We received our order today
& umm, uum, good.”
Dennis
Centerville, Indiana
“Last week I received a package. When I leaned over I saw that
distinctive tan card with those most chocolate of words ‘The Chocolate Garden.’ I grabbed the package
and ran into the house frantically looking for a knife to cut open the box so I could see and smell one
of life’s special presents. Finally, there it was. As I savored that last morsel of chocolate all I
could think of was thank you, thank you and thank you.”
Another still satisfied customer,
Brian

“dear gentlepeople at the chocolate garden:

“To the talented truffle makers at The
Chocolate Garden, a million thanks! I was pleasantly surprised to receive
a box of your dark chocolate truffles for my birthday this year. This was
my first introduction to the delectable products you create. Never in my
wildest dreams could I have conjured such a delightful and sensual
chocolate experience. The truffles are a single lady’s date on a Friday
night!”
Nikki

“My husband and I are
absolutely in love with your truffles! None finer anywhere on
Earth. Made with love and shipped with special care...they are a
little bit of Heaven delivered to our door.”
Judy

“Hooooooly Cow!!! I’m in heaven!!
Forever grateful,”
Michelle
Atlanta, Georgia
“Just thought I’d let you know that the truffles
arrived and my Mother-in-Law couldn’t have been happier! She said
they were the absolute best she had ever tasted -- and she’s been
tasting for 86 years! Absolutely no comparison with all the others
we’ve tried, and some very expensive ones at that.
I will certainly be a repeat customer, and I thank everyone at The
Chocolate Garden for making such a superior and delicious product!.”
Nancy
El Paso, Texas
“I received my box of chocolates
today and they were well worth the wait! I honestly
thought I might miss the waxy chocolate shell, but oh my
goodness I couldn’t have been more wrong. I like to save the
best for last so I’m saving the Darkest Dark Chocolate truffle,
but I did have the plain Dark Chocolate and all I can say is
FABULOUS! My only regret is that I didn’t purchase the 1 pound
box!”
Amy
Chesterfield Township, Michigan
“I recently bought two 2oz
bags and two 9oz boxes, one box for my Mom and one for my
Mother-In-Law. The 2oz bags were for my husband and me. I just want to
tell you that without exception, we thought they were the best
chocolates we had ever eaten! The Dark Chocolate Cherry were to die
for!!!!!”
I will be ordering more, that is
for sure.
Janice
Wapella, Illinois
“I received the truffles on
time, and I must say they are absolutely wonderful. I gave one box
away to the concierge downstairs and they haven’t stopped raving about
them. I’m trying desperately hard not to eat them all up at once, but
am having a little difficulty with that. Thanks for all the great
service and for creating such scrumptious treats. I am going to tell
all my friends about you and will be looking forward to my next
order.”
Dan
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
“I thought I had tasted the best chocolate in
the world. Then, I received a box of your chocolates and I thought
I had died and gone to heaven. I am a chocoholic. I managed a Swiss
chocolate shop on Michigan Avenue in Chicago for 5 years. It was
incredible chocolate. The Chocolate Garden has it beat. I would rather
have a box of your chocolates than diamonds any day. I am saving the
Iced White Coffee for last. If you hear moaning anywhere in the state of
Georgia. . .it’s me eating the last in my hidden box.”
Amy
Atlanta, Georgia
“I am the one who called and had you send a
box of dark truffles to my son in Alaska. He thought they were
incredible. I also told a friend of mine. Their quest is
to send the best truffles to her husband’s aunt in Hawaii. They
sent a box of yours and she agreed they were the best she had tasted.
Keep up they great work.”
Charlotte
Decatur, Illinois
“I purchased a 1 Lb box of your
truffles for Valentine’s Day. Each time we try one of the
truffles, my girlfriend giggles without control claiming she
cannot help it. Truly unbelievable texture and taste.”
Erik
Blacksburg, Virginia
“Hi, I just received my 1st order
after hearing about you on tv. I took one bite, then ran
to place my 2nd order (and I’m not sharing this stuff with
anyone)! Everything they say is true!!!!! Thank
you!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Barbara
North Adams, Massachusetts
“Praises to the chef. I
just ordered my second box of The Chocolate Garden’s truffles.
My first box was so extraordinary, I placed a second order within a
month’s time. I am a true chocoholic, and your truffles rate a
10+ on the endorphin scale. Thanks for sharing your talent with
other chocolate lovers, I truly appreciate it.”
Elizabeth
Houston, Texas
“I am so
grateful to have discovered your fantastic truffles. Every year before the holidays, I search for
one extraordinary product to send to each of my friends around the country. Some years the search is
easier than others, but this year, after discovering your unbelievable truffles, there is no doubt
what the gift will be. 9 oz boxes to everyone! Thanks for your dedication to the perfect truffle,
and for making it so easy to share them with others with your convenient shipping.”
Sven
Coloma, Michigan
“Thank you ever so much for the most delicious truffles I have
ever had. Believe me, I have tried a lot of truffles in my life and when my husband had you send me
this box they were truly to die for. Thank you again and I will be ordering much more in the
upcoming months. You have truly perfected the art of Truffles!!!!!”
Connie
North Mankato, Minnesota
“I just received a box of your truffles
from my boyfriend for Valentine’s Day. Your truffles are,
by far, the best I have ever had. Incredibly, sensuously,
delicious! Thank you.”
Mary
Grand Rapids, Michigan
“THANK YOU for producing such a high quality product with service to
match! I ‘accidentally’ found your site while surfing online late one night last week.
Being a truffle lover/connoisseur, I ordered immediately and was enjoying your truffles two days
later. When sharing my discovery with friends, I think my exact words were that your
truffles are so good it’s almost not legal!
Thumbs up
for impeccable quality and outstanding service! I will be ordering regularly. Cheers!”
Cheryl
Comstock Park, Michigan
“I had a friend bring me one of your truffles. . . .I have never tasted anything so
wonderfully sinful!! I can’t wait to get my own box as well as one for my daughter. . .Thank you for
developing such a delightful sweet.”
Barbara
Elkhart, Indiana
“I received the truffles the other
night and they were extraordinary! I have never had something
that “exploded” in my mouth. The flavor was wonderful
and I had a hard time trying to save some for later! I will definitely
order again in the future. Keep up the good work!”
Candy

amazing!”
Peter

produce. They were absolutely exquisite!!!”
Lani

“I think it
is obvious by my recent and frequent orders that I am in love with your company. Your product is
excellent! Your service is excellent! The truffles make a wonderful gift because they are unique
and like nothing that can be found around here. I can’t stop bragging about it!”
Katrina

“Got the truffles I’d ordered last Thursday, just before Easter. We couldn’t wait for
Easter and tore into them immediately. They were wonderful!
As Arnold would say, I’ll be back.”
