I brought a box at the similar price before. They always has a higher price and offer a promotion. Not impressive.

Frango dark chocolates taste terrible. Threw them out last Christmas.

I strongly disagree. The Frango Dark Chocolates are my and my family's favorites. The Mint Dark Chocolates, and Milk Chocolates are very good as well. French Silk are ok, but not as good. I don't like the Sea Salt Caramels as they have large chunks of sea salt attached to the exterior of each piece of chocolate, others may like it but I don't. I find Frango on sale to be the best dollar per weight for chocolate.

This is a pretty good deal. The candies last a good 15 months or so. Just opened a tin from last holiday season and the expiration date was May 2021 so ordering these now should last until next Christmas as well. Beats standing in line on Black Friday.

These are terrible. Bought a box last year with an expiration date far out in the future and ... bleh. You ain't gettin' Sees here for a song. You are getting Russel Stover.

This is true. They are perpetually on sale. But I think they are worth the sale price.

Used to be really great when they were from Marshall Fields. Since Macy's bought Fields out I think the ingredients have gone way downhill, the taste and mouth feel is about on par with the wax chocolate from Hershey's.

They used to sell Harry London ones which were good. Used to get them at Christmas. Now their candy selection has gone to crap and all they sell is this brand which I feel is not nearly as good.

I hate these pickup deals. Who wants to drive to Macy's to pick up a $5 sale box of chocolates?

My wife who wants to pick up other things and use $5 chocolate as an excuse.

This is on par with me telling my wife I need to go to Micro Center for a USB stick.

The math seems wrong here. It says the 15 piece Holiday Deco Milk Mint box is 5.33 oz. But the 1bs (16oz) boxes are also 15 pieces. And looking at the nutrition facts for both those boxes the weight/piece are similar.

Let me know if you can figure what's going on.

Agreed, they have ruined Frango line.
