2018 Advent Calendar Chocolate by Godiva Chocolatier, 14.4 ounce

my friend bought one of these in store this year, (for normal cost,) and opened it up and ate all the candy.. I informed her it was a calendar. etc etc lol anyhow, this is a very nice advent calendar, in the sense that the chocolate is actually good.. most advent (chocolate) calendars I grew up with, the chocolate was just plain nasty. This is a really nice upgrade, and I did buy one for myself which I will open appropriately..lol I did note on hers, that a lot of the doors had plain wrapped chocolate squares, etc, to nit pick, it would be cool if each door had neat little snowmen or Santa shaped pieces like in the picture. The other thing is, I would like to see some mention of Christmas on the calendar. And I wish Godiva would make more of these each year, they sell out very fast, then price gouging gets crazy! This is definitely a great choice if your main goal is to get a good piece of chocolate each day! If you like your calendar to have more religious references or pictures, this probably isn't the calendar for you.. Happy Holidays!

1/2 melted since the post man left them in the sun. Amazon refunded me, so all good. Wanted to buy them again, but the price was much higher. I decided to use this one anyway and toss the mostly melted ones. I was quite disappointed to find that there are really only 7 or 8 truffles...the rest (20+) are flat square chocolates that are not good. I felt really ripped off, but then remembered that i was reimbursed and they were free. So, all good and I would not buy again, even though i typically love Godiva Chocolate! Even the ones that were not melted, were not good...did they change the recipe. Yuck!

This calendar is a joke. The idea of an advent calendar is a mix of items with a slow build to Christmas. This is not even close, this is more like an old 8 track that has a few tracks over and over (younger generation -> Google 8-track, and see what hell older people had to go through for music).Anyway - let's start the first bullet item -"Each day includes a gourmet chocolate treat: a Belgian milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate, one of 9 seasonal pieces, or one of 15 individually wrapped seasonal milk chocolate carres."NOPE not true, and if they would show the back it would explain that you really only get 4 DIFFERENT OPTIONS. All the squares are the same = 15, then 3 molds of THREE different types (ganache in milk chocolate, hazelnut prailine in white chocolate, or white chocolate and vanilla ganache in dark chocolate).The other bullet item -"Beware of unauthorized dealers selling GODIVA products. Buy with confidence in our superior quality, and impeccable customer service when products are marked as "Ships and sold by Amazon."WHY?? - The fakes might have more of a variety.My daughter is 12, and we almost didnt buy the Lego Advent. At the last minute I added the Lego one for fun. Really glad I did.I know Christmas is days away, but I hope this review helps you save money for something better.

Got this for my daughter. She enjoyed the chocolate! Some of the compartments weren't well sealed, so several times she had chocolates that had slid from one compartment to another--she either didn't get a candy one day or had 2 behind a door. She didn't even realize there was a ribbon hanger until she disassembled it on Christmas for recycling. So a few design flaws but overall a winner.

I bought this for myself because I love Godiva chocolate. I don't think I will be purchasing again. As they say, it is mostly the single milk chocolate/ dark chocolate squares. You get what is advertised, but other brands have better options. Will be going with Lindt next time. (Would buy again if Godiva brought back the 24 truffle option!)

Bought 4 of these calendars this year. Every single one has had the chocolates all jumbled during shipping and just plain handling. Each day is not sealed and a majority of the candies are so thin that they can slip out of the square for the day and slide down to another. Some days you open and you get none, while other days you can open and get 2, one day even had 3. Yes you can open the side, pull out the inside container, and rearrange the candies....but for the price I should not have to and they slide through again with just the everyday opening of the days. It would of been a much nicer advent calendar if they just sealed each day inside the packaging.

The chocolate is of course good. My only complaint is that many of the chocolates have slid off of the correct slots so some days when we go to open the door there is no chocolate inside.

This Advent calendar was missing candy in some of the cambers. I know what your thinking, they may have fallen to the bottom. They did not, they were just missing. Very disappointed, especially considering it's Godiva.
