Testimonials

“I grew up with hand-crafted chocolates. My mother worked for family chocolate business in Vermont, so I’ve had plenty of opportunity to indulge in their (and their competitions’) confections. I am no stranger to truffles! That said, GrendelSweets brings something extra to their chocolates. With a wide variety of intriguing and delicious flavors, and the addition of shortbread with a wonderfully complementary texture and taste, they have something really special that goes beyond ‘just’ a truffle. I savor every one I get my hands on!”

“Chocoholic.com happened upon GrendelSweets quite by accident. Being purveyors of only the finest gourmet chocolates from around the world, we were of course thrilled with owner Elena, who piqued our interest with her delightful approach to chocolates. Then, when samples arrived, one bite was all it took. Superb chocolate, exquisite presentation — a Chocolate Diva’s dream.”

“I met Elena (the owner) at a local farmer’s market. I loved the fact that she was following her dream of making the best confections available anywhere. And, believe me, they are the best. Easter of 2005 was my first ‘chocolate holiday’ with GrendelSweets. We sold out. Their confections were well received by my customers. I am looking forward to receiving our Halloween confections. I know they will be delicious and perfect for any goblin.”

“GrendelSweets™ Truffle Cookies are simply delicious. I first tried them at a local farmer’s market, and became totally hooked! They have succeeded in making wonderfully flavorful truffles, which when combined with the appropriate cookie results in the unique flavor/texture combination that is a truffle cookie. I have tried and like many of the flavors, but would list Black & White Raspberry, Wild Blueberry, Irish Cream & Coffee, and Ginger Snap as particular favorites.”

“I was given GrendelSweets™ Truffle Cookies as a gift, and I liked them so much I decided to use them in my wedding. Elena (the owner) worked with us to come up with a special flavor and packaging for our wedding favors. They almost looked too beautiful to eat, but once people started eating them, they couldn't stop. By the end of the evening, some of the guests were trying to steal other people's Truffle Cookies!”

Kara M., Santa Cruz, CA

“Thank you for your mouth-watering, handcrafted chocolates, particularly the Irish Potatoes - fabulous!

I use boxes of GrendelSweets chocolates as client gifts during the Christmas holiday season. All of my clients who received these last year were absolutely thrilled! I will definitely be ordering more for this year’s round of client gifts, plus a few extra boxes for my family and myself.

These chocolates are far superior to anything I have ever found on the market, including Godiva (I have been to their Brussels store).”
