Russell Stover, you disappoint me.

[LaraMN]

I bought a package of these Russel Stover "Private Reserve" chocolate things- little chocolate squares boasting a decadent, creamy "vanilla bean brulee" filling.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but I do like it when it's filled with creamy goodness.

There was a pathetic DRIBBLE of creamy goodness in the center!
I was SO disappointed.

The proportion of chocolate-to-creamy-goodness was ALL kinds of fucked up!

I feel like crying a little bit.

1. Russell Stover always disappoints me.

I like Abdallah soooooo much better.

[LaraMN]

3. I just wanted the filling. That was all I really wanted.

I once ate the creme filling out of an entire box of Oreos.
People were not pleased.

[Love Bug]

25. I visit the Abdallah store in Burnsville quite frequently!

Yum!

[KitchenWitch]

27. I wish we had them out here!

:9

[JVS]

2. There are starving kids out there and you felt like crying over a disappointing piece of chocolate?

Get some priorities :P

[LaraMN]

4. Well, if they're so damn hungry,

I've got a bag of impotent chocolates they can have.
:P :P

[JVS]

15. Let them eat bon-bons? Ok Marie!

;-)

[Dr. Strange]

5. I was disappointed in their chocoloate covered meximelts.

Didn't taste anywhere near as good as it sounded.

[Left Is Write]

6. Moral of the story: Don't spend good chocolate money on Russell Stover!

Get some Godiva, for pity's sake.

Or any other Belgian or German chocolate.

Chocolate money is valuable. Don't waste it on junk.

[LaraMN]

9. Ohhhh.... Godiva used to make dulce de leche- filled

chocolates that were SO yummy!
I wonder if they still sell them...

[rug]

7. Yup.

[underpants]

8. Get yourself a Hershey bar and some saltine crackers

you WILL thank me

[LaraMN]

10. Yuck!

I will not!

I only eat chocolate with a filling.

[underpants]

11. Okay

More for me!!

[Richardo]

13. Your "I QUIT" thread is still warm....

Who do you think you are: WillPitt? :grr:

[underpants]

18. Will Pitt? Does our memory Betray Us?

ANy thoughts or opinions on that?

[Dr. Strange]

12. I only eat chocolate...

which explains
(a) the large filling around my midsection
(b) the many fillings in my mouth.

[GirlinContempt]

23. So get some Lindt

[mikeytherat]

21. One time we really wanted s'mores, but only had saltines, mint chocolate chips

and colored mini-marshmallows. It was not pleasant.

14. And they're right-wingers on top of that.

[SOteric]

16. The kids are in school

ONE day and here you are lounging around eating bonbons and whimpering over their quality. Tsk.


:7 :hi:

[Taverner]

17. Russell Stover is overrated

Go Godiva!

[asthmaticeog]

19. Russell-Stover is lies.

A chocolaterie that sells primarily through chain drug stores and Marts Wal and K is by definition a shit chocolaterie. x(

Even a boring old Whitman's Sampler provides a higher chocolates-to-happys ratio.

[zanne]

20. Lara, honey...

There are people in this world who like to fool girls into thinking they have more creamy goodness than they actually have. But don't worry; there are plenty of people out there who will be happy to share much gooey goodness with you. I promise.

[trof]

22. OK, but how do you feel about Smokey Stover?

24. When I was a kid, we would drive all the way to Wichita

to the Russell Stovers' store..and I would get chocolate covered pecans :) They no longer make them..tried to pawn off walnuts ..Ptooooey :grr:

[Arugula Latte]

26. See's Candy milk chocolate with vanilla cream filling

*drools onto keyboard*

[Manifestor_of_Light]

28. European chocolate is SO much better. All of them.

American chocolate is just not that great.
