Kirkland Signature Premium Chocolates of the World Assortment Jar

I'm wondering what the quality is of this assorted chocolate. Has anyone tried it?

Never tried this particular brand, but in my experience, the best you can expect from chocolates packed in a plastic jar and coloured cello is 'acceptable'. This isn't to say that I believe fancier packaging to be any sort of guarantee of good chocolate (I've had some mediocre chocolate that was packaged and priced like fine jewellery), but cheap packaging does seem to live down to its promise.

Kirkland is Costco's own brand, so don't expect too much. I do like some of Costco's stuff, but wouldn't consider any of it to be upper tier quality.

Costco is going to sell a lot of this, so the quality may be somewhat limited by the availability of the best ingredients. My guess would be good value but not the top tier.

If you try it, report back.

Thanks for the input. I think I'll pass on these.
