LindtMilk Chocolate Holiday Bear, Hollow, 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 8)

I thought giving chocolate bears would be great for the holidays but when they arrived half of the bears arrived broken or melted. The packaging was totally insufficient with only a plastic top on the bears. The candy was obviously not lovingly cared for and havoc reigned. Now I have nothing to give the kids. I would not order from this company again.

I received the product today. None of the bears were broken, but there were one or two of them that had some of the peel wearing off(only marginally though). The bears were not melted either. They came in a Lindt Box with a cute storage for each of them, and had a plastic top as mentioned in the other review.The chocolate was very delicious. I took one and tried it and it tasted just like a Lindt Truffle, albeit without the truffle goodness inside it. The bears are adorable and I will be using the majority of them for little thank you for teachers and friends. They all have an expiration date on them (for me, it was May 2012) and come exactly as the picture states.I'd recommend the other reviewer to ask Amazon for a refund...it seems the bears were sent in a hot location which is why they melted. My bears came in 65 degree weather so they managed just fine.

I have to agree with the other reviewer. Packaging was extremely insufficient and 4 of my bears arrived smashed beyond recognition. Why not just return you ask?-simple they were purchased with the expectation of giving as gifts. Since I was awaiting their arrival I did not purchase alternate gifts to give. Now with a few days left before the holiday I am forced to use what I can from the shipment and try to find alternatives for the damaged items. Would not buy again.

My wife thought it was delicious. Pricey but my wife likes hollow chocolate.

These are much smaller than I was expecting. If you think you're getting a big chocolate bear, this isn't the product for you.

Cute, adorable, and yummy. Everybody from my seven-year-old niece and two-year-old nephew, to my wife and in-laws love receiving these in their Christmas stockings every year. That they never last long is a testament to their delectability.The chocolate is European style and is melt-in-your-mouth creamy smooth. It doesn't have any of the harshness of typical American chocolate confectionary. The bears are hollow, so the actual amount of chocolate per bear is notably less than their size would imply. But that their hollow also makes them easier to bite into and gobble them up.

The chocolate came completely broken in pieces
