So, try to find a local chocolatier you trust. Personally, I'd rather pay top dollar for a few good pieces of chocolate than a box of a dozen+ truffles which are junk.
Lot of local scammers in the industry too. Pretty sure it was a viral scandal when a Brooklyn chocolatier was scamming customers claiming to sell them a premier product when they were really selling junk.
