As previously confessed, I am Palmyra’s secret santa. Glad you liked it. 🙂

I have yet to recieve my gift, but I remain hopeful.

It was great, and it really brightened up my day since I’ve been sick all week.

I got mine about a week ago (a little more than a week, but about.)  
Thank you Agent009! (I think that’s who it was. I know it was agent, and a nine, and a zero or two.)

It does sound like a good job.

You mean I can sit here and just put whatever I want into these little boxes? Cool!

Stoidela, just wanted to let you know that it came today! You KNOW what I like, don’t you? They don’t have a store in this town but I will go look for a website and see where the closest one would be. I had their stuff when I was stationed in California YEARS ago. Thanks so much. When I redeem the certificate I’ll let you know that too.

Stoidela, you are WONDERFUL!!! I got the dark-chocolate covered Bordeaux today, and with the first bite I was in Heaven!!! I can hear them now, calling my name ever so softfully, trying to tempt me to eat just one more. But I am going to try and pace myself.

Your suggestion was excellent. I got the dark chocolate covered variety, because, as all TRUE chocophiles know, dark is better. So-called white chocolate is an abomination! I just hope that I won’t get addicted. Maybe I should lose the website. But that wouldn’t work, as I’ll be keeping the box. Oh well.

Thanks ever so much. You know the way to my heart.

pretty deadly, aren’t they? It may have taken almost six weeks past Christmas…but they really are worth the wait!

Consider yourself LUCKY you don’t live near any…I am near one every time I go to any mall in LA…\>I have to tear myself away!

I’m so glad you are enjoying them. 🙂

PS: For any southern Californians: We are referring to See’s Candies… simply the best chocolates in the USA…
