They are that good, but I bet that I'll find your new formula to be
better, not worse. The chocolate on them was never anything special,
but that 65% stuff IS. You brought some over several months ago.
I'll go so far as to say that the fancy chocolate is the thing that
will tip the balance as far as me getting to enjoy them. I haven't
touched anything sugary in nearly 8 weeks, but I'm going to make an
exception for the cherries..
