The packaging itself is solid. You get a dark-chocolate colored basket with just enough plastic wrapping to keep everything in pristine shape without being a hassle to open. There were no signs of re-purposed Jello boxes — only a dense amount of straw lining the bottom to serve as a cushion. I thought it was a very nice touch.
Now for the part that actually matters: The candy. You get a pretty well organized assortment of chocolate-themed products, varying from chocolate covered peanuts and raisins, to peanut butter cups and and marshmallow cups, and yes, there’s even a few pieces of individually-wrapped dark and milk chocolate for the diehard choco-holic. This variation is well balanced so your tastebuds don’t feel tired of any one particular confection.
Of course, a couple items featured in this basket probably do have their comparable counterparts in your local grocer. But that’s beside the point. You’ll be hard pressed to create anything of a similar caliber yourself in terms of presentation and overall packaging.
Executive summary: This basket was made by chocolate lovers, for chocolate lovers. I’d buy it again and most likely will when Christmas rolls around.

|Issues Resolved In Second Basket,
PS I took a star off this gift basket since the more I look at it the less impressed I am. For some strange reasons a rice krispie type bar with a bit of chocolate was placed in a box for flan, some truffles were placed in one of those single serve size cereal boxes for sugar pops and some dark chocolate pieces were in a Royal Jello box. I don’t really think I would want to give as a gift something with this odd packaging.
UPDATE: ig4U contacted me and sent me another basket to review. This second basket did NOT contain melted chocolates or strange recycled packages. Based on the second basket I received this item would make an attractive, respectable gift for a chocolate lover.
