Chocolate River Stones (1lb Bag)

I ordered these for garnish on my son's construction themed 3rd birthday cake and was a little apprehensive because of the price, but decided to go ahead because of how cool they looked. They shipped very quickly which was awesome, but when I got notification that they would be arriving today while I was away from the house for 12 hours I became alarmed because that meant this chocolate would be sitting out in the 100 degree St.Louis sun for many hours. I had resigned myself to the fact that I would arrive home to a bag of chocolate soup. To my surprise and delight when I got home I found the package in my mailbox with a sticker "keep away from heat" and when I opened the USPS envelope, I found the chocolate wrapped in butcher paper with an ice pack, all within a foil cooling pouch. Now the ice pack was melted and 25% of the chocolate was melted--but that's only because I was gone for so long. The seller really did everything they could to ensure I got my product intact and I appreciate that. Because of the sellers efforts, I will be able to salvage enough to make the perfect accents on my son's cake!P.S. I put them right in the freezer and I just pulled out some of the previously melted, deformed ones and tasted them...not bad, they taste like sixlets.

I used these to create an off road jeeping cake , they are perfect. The candies themselves have quite a bit of 'chipping' off of the hard colored coating, but actually made them look more realistic than if they were perfect. A variety of sizes some larger than a peanut, some about peanut size (Not in shell peanuts) and lots of littler ones. It really helped that they were NOT consistent size/shapes as natural rocks aren't either.

Bag was the inside of a box but wasn’t sealed. Candy was all over inside of box and half was melted to box. Chocolate flavor not bad.

I also got a different package than shown in the sale page, which in this day and age is stupid. It just tells me that the item is being grabbed randomly from whatever warehouse has it handy at the time of order. This doens't inspire confidence in quality. However, the candy came quickly and for the most part is intact. The flavor is very eh. Waxy 'chocolatley' candy. Not actual chocolate but the type you get for this price range. Children might not care as it's sweet and does have SOME cocoa in it, but for adults who appreciate actual chocolate, this isn't the thing. I'm mostly buying it for a friend who loves to collect rocks, so it'll do for the idea of the thing. I'm pretty pleased as the price was about $11. I wouldn't pay more for these.

The looked good and they tasted good! Excellent product!

I gave the Chocolate River Rocks 3 stars because they did not look as described or shown.When they arrived they looked nothing like the image. I chose these chocolate river rocks because the image showed candy rocks that looked pretty realistic shape and had an appealing color palette. The pieces range in size from smaller than a Jelly Belly to and almond, and have sharp, angluar edges rather than soft, rounded ones. Most of the "rocks" are rectangular with very few rounded pieces. (They look exactly like large pieces of fish aquarium gravel). The colors are not as shown either. My bag was an assortment of kelly green, turquoise, dark blue, white, dark brown and tan. (I would not have purchased chocolate candy in that color palette - not at all appetizing). The candy coating over the chocolate looks pretty good in and of itself, with a dark veining effect and helps to soften the sharpness, but it still looks like gravel. The taste of the milk chocolate is pretty good. They are fresh tasting - not stale - and made in New York.I would have given these 5 stars had their appearance and color not been so different than what was shown.

The chocolate rocks are amazing. Arrived on time and in great condition. Not a full 16 ounces. They weighed 15.3 in the plastic pouch. Other than that they were great. They remind me of odd shape and colors of m&m's. I used them on cupcakes,sheet cake and 7" cake. The little boy loved them.

The rocks shipped well. Very few were chipped. I wanted to cut the more round ones in half to cover the entire project, but they didn’t cut cleanly. My kids didn’t mind the taste but if you like quality chocolate, find something else. In my opinion they are perfect for baking presentations. The coating is thick so I didn’t have issues with them melting in a warm kitchen or chipping easily. The colors include pink and forest green - not natural river rock colors but it didn’t matter for my project.
