Awesome Product - Misleading Picture!
My wife and I first had Chukar Cherries at an REI in Seattle. We instantly fell in love with every type of cherry. Our only "dislike" was the white chocolate blueberries. Although my wife is telling me, as I am writing this, that she likes them all! When I saw them on Amazon, I thought they would make a perfect Easter gift. My only complaint is that the picture on both the website and the Chukar catalog, which I received with my order, make the box look like there are tons of cherries in each little compartment. That is not the case. While there are plenty of cherries in each box, expect about half of what you see in the picture. It is obvious that the picture is to demonstrate what the product looks like, but it certainly is misleading as to quantity. Overall my wife was thrilled with the purchase, and we slowly rationed and savored each cherry!

Delicious Cherries Covered in Chocolate
* When I lived in Yakima Washington, my husband used to bring home boxes of Chukar Cherries made right in the Valley. This company also makes delicious jams, sauces, roasted nuts, dried fruit energy snacks and whole fruit gifts and specialties.
The Alexander-Auld family moved from Seattle in 1988 and purchased a 100 acre cherry orchard. In order to preserve the cherries, they started to dry the cherries after they were picked in June and July.
Once the cherries were covered in chocolate they could last 9 months when sealed and stored in a cool, dry place.
The delicious dehydrated cherries (intensifies the cherry flavor) are a unique feature of the chocolates and the combination of seductively smooth chocolate and dried cherries makes these one of my favorite chocolates.
The Chocolates I've enjoyed so far:
Cabernet Chocolate Cherry - Smooth semi-sweet chocolate melts on your tongue and then as you bite into the chocolate there is a delicious burst of cherry and red wine.
Dark Chocolate Amaretto Rainier Cherry - A somewhat creamier exotic chocolate with a subtle Rainier cherry flavor.
Mocha Latte Espresso Bean - Crunchy, heady mocha flavor and my favorite chocolate in this sampler. I could see giving an entire box of these to a coffee connoisseur.
Bing Chocolate Cherry - Cherries covered in a naturally red, milk chocolate.
Dark Chocolate Vanilla Almond - Crunchy roasted almonds dipped in dark chocolate. Pure almond vanilla and chocolate pleasure.
Truffle Chocolate Cherry - Creamy truffle bliss. A sweet milky chocolate filling covers a dried cherry.
Black Forest Chocolate Cherry - Less sweet and rolled in dark cocoa.
Dark Chocolate Pecan Passion
Milk Chocolate Cherry
Double-Dipped Macadamia Bite
Milk Chocolate Honey Pecan

OMG Heaven in a box!!
* Chukar cherries are absolutely the best (the dark chocolates are my personal favorites).
The company ships its product in protected and cooled boxes - they even survived the Florida heat to arrive in perfect condition.
If you are looking for a fantastic gift, or a treat for yourself, I highly recommend any of their products! ...
