Gold Collection Gift Box (19 pc)

Price varies
confectioneryassortedgift-grade

While marketed as a premium gift, this product fails every 'Quality Pick' metric for dark chocolate; it uses alkalized (Dutch-processed) cocoa which strips flavanols, contains high sugar levels as a primary ingredient, and includes synthetic flavorings like vanillin. There is no transparency regarding heavy metal testing (Lead/Cadmium) or batch-specific COAs, making it a confectionery item rather than a health-grade or craft-grade chocolate.
