Chocolate Covered Strawberries are a wonderful upscale gift and need to be made and delivered in ways that protect the very perishable strawberry from the rigors of nationwide transport.

Using true tempered gourmet chocolate we hand dip and custom decorate each strawberry for every upscale event. Real chocolate does make a difference, and our decorations are unique in the industry. We decorate for every occasion and Holiday, even the romantic ones. We can even put your corporate logo right on the front of the chocolate covered strawberry.

You can make chocolate covered strawberries one of two ways: right or dirt cheap, we chose to do it the right way. We dip all the way to the leaves to protect the fragile berries during shipment, and all of our chocolate is cocoa butter based rather than the cheaper vegetable oil (partially hydrogenated..) that most competitors use (and can't legally be called chocolate).

Comparison shopping?
Unfortunately there is a group of companies that are affecting the publics perception of this segment of the confectionary industry. While we’d like you to order from us, we feel that this is important enough to post this information on our home page, after all: we could be using this space for more beautiful chocolate covered strawberry pictures....

If possible please share this information with your friends as bringing these people into the light of day is the most effective way to get them to stop.

Problem number one with some competitors: They are not using real chocolate to dip their strawberries. Government regulations state chocolate is based on cocoa butter, while their imitation substance is made with partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. Yes ...these are the same partially hydrogenated vegetable oils that have gotten so much negative press over the last few years. These companies know the product shouldn’t be called ‘chocolate’ and we’ve asked them to stop misrepresenting their product. They are still advertising “chocolate covered strawberries” even though the product is not chocolate.

We’re sure the courts will eventually correct this, either though eventual action by the FTC/FDA or some individual getting really rich though a class action lawsuit, since their parent companies are huge.

The second problem with some of those companies (at least 5 domain names are involved) is what is being called the “Easy Saver Scam”. A class action lawsuit was filed as a result of credit card information being passed to a third party as part of a “free shipping/discount” offer. The customers claim they were unknowingly signed up for a service that billed their credit card, every month, for a service that may not have provided any benefits. A internet search for the phrase “Easy Saver Scam” will return about 185,000 entries/complaints and customer stories, if you read any: remember that the company name listed may be one of the parent companies, rarely do the posts list all the subsidiaries involved. The parent companies are huge, owning or controlling a major league baseball team, a satellite TV provider, cable shopping networks, TV stations, travel and dating sites as well as dozens of other companies.

While we’re sure the courts will eventually stop this type of behavior it’s important to let the consumers know there is an issue with that group of competitors and to let them decide if they want to take the risk and get fake chocolate in the bargain.
