Due to shipping delays beyond my control, my August chocolate club, courtesy of Zoe's Chocolates out of Pennsylvania, arrived at the beginning of September. None-the-less I was excited to see the package arrive. I'm getting good at writing myself positive notes to be delivered with my chocolates :)
I chose the Chef's Collection for the variety, though some were repeats. I love a good caramel, so I was fine with duplicates of those!

I thought that the Baklava was unique and tasty, as was the Sesame Tahini-definitely had a savory feel to it. The Apple Pie was really good and I enjoyed all of the caramels. On the flavor guide provided there was a Chestnut chocolate listed that was not included in the box-I would have liked to try that one! Maybe next time.
Overall impression is not too shabby. Their website is nice and features an array of chocolate confections. Appears to be siblings running the family business.
