Squares Chocolates. By Rae777 on Dec 05, 2009 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Ghirardelli located in the San Francisco area of California is known for their chocolate products. They have a factory in nearby San Leandro. While I was shopping recently I saw one of their chocolate bars. I have never tried these chocolates before. These chocolate bars are called Ghirardelli SQUARES™ chocolates. They come in a variety of flavors such as Milk & Caramel, Dark & Mint, Dark & raspberry, Dark & Caramel, 60% Dark, Milk Chocolate, Milk Chocolate With Peanut Butter Filling and White Chocolate with Vanilla.

I'd tried the Milk Chocolate With Peanut Butter Filling variety of Ghirardelli SQUARES™ chocolates. These chocolates come very nicely wrapped. The one I got was supposedly a chocolate square filled with creamy, gourmet peanut butter with crunchy peanuts. The first thing I noticed was that the chocolate was very nice but the peanut butter tasted like it was a very cheap off brand peanut butter. I was surprised it tasted like this. I don't know if this is an isolated case of old peanut butter being used or what. I would not purchased this again but I would be willing to try their solid chocolates because like I said the chocolate tasted nice and creamy.
