Those goodies are intriguing. Yesterday I replenished my gallon jar of Dilettante chocolate fudge which I use every morning for my approximation of a mocha.
It is fun to visit the factory outlet when I am in the area.
This my solution to keep me from having to buy mochas.

I learned the hard way- make sure you do a teeth inspection after eating choc covered espresso beans...

Snap, have you been to the Chocolate Dream Box in Los Gatos?
They sell Leonidas Belgian chocolates and they are pretty spectacular. Maybe if I promise to have some, you'll ride with me???

I'm just teasing you!!
But you really should try some stuff from Chocolate Dream Box. I think they recently relocated to the shopping center at the corner of Blossom Hill and Los Gatos Blvd. where Lunardi's is. The shop used to be on N. Santa Cruz and she also had a cart at Valley Fair for a while, but she couldn't keep up both, I guess.
Very yummy stuff.

No fair posting links to chocolate this good looking when the only chocolate within a mile of the office is a Carls Jr. chocolate shake!

Guess what I (re)found?
Le Petit Ecolier Extra-Dark Chocolate cookies! I bought them to treat that guy I thought I was dating, but he disappeared before the cookies got opened. I ate a few of them to assist in the grief process
, put them away, and forgot about them! Just ate three more--a bit stale, but hey, better than ANYTHING else in the house! Whoo hoo! What a find! I think I'll put them in the freezer and try to forget them for another three months!

Ah, yes. Le Petit Ecolier helped me study for many a final.
I like the chocolate with hazlenut ones. Tastes like Nutella on your biscuit.

They have a shop right up the street from where I work. I get my staff their Valentine's Day truffles from Moonstruck.

We have been developing at work a chocolate spread based on our date concentrate.
(We are a small factory set up to process the dates from our 5000 plus palms in the kibbutz groves)
It is/will be better than Nutella even. It is amazing ;with hazel nut butter as well as all the nutritional dietary fibre of the dates themselves and the wonderful anti-oxidant "cocoa" which has been discussed at length on this forum (as it is directly related to cycling and women)
Btw the "we" refers to myself and the "very sexy, very smart ,x-th dan black belt in karate, consultant Food Technologist" I have already mentioned occasionally.
