Cella's Milk Chocolate Covered Cherries

I always assumed the milk choco version of these would be significantly better than the dark choco version, but to be honest, I didn't get a huge difference! They're both just extremely sweet. The chocolate here is maybe a little softer, and they're still nut free and cute, but the overwhelming sweetness and low quality chocolate (sorry Tootsie) means that these aren't my favorite candy, alas. My parents got me these though, and that's very sweet of them.

Overall
Cost: 5/10
Taste: 6/10

Cella's Dark Chocolate Covered Cherries

Ah, these are a classic in my family, because my dad likes 'em. Or at least I hope he does, because at Christmas he always got between 10-30 boxes. Nowadays he gets less because we have fewer family members, but it's still a tradition! I typically steal a few for myself because there are so many, even though I don't especially like them. I'd much rather have a truffle, for instance!! But, these are a Tootsie (subsidiary?) product, and they have that nice peanut-free logo on them, which I appreciate more and more every year. They're very very sweet, and the inside has an ice-cream cherry with about a teaspoon of sugary goo. I don't love dark chocolate but maybe I'd prefer the milk chocolate if I ever had 'em. Either way, these are a pleasant treat but I certainly wouldn't want hundreds of them!

Overall
Cost: 6/10 (About 4$ a box at Weis)
Taste: 7/10
