Chococurb is a monthly gourmet chocolate subscription box with a choice of two size boxes. The regular Chococurb has “five to seven personally selected, extraordinary chocolate treats.” The cost of this box is $35/month, $99 for a 3 month subscription or $180 for a 6 month subscription.

You can try it out with the Chococurb Mini, a box with three chocolates. This smaller box has a smaller price: $20/month, $57 for a 3 month subscription or $108 for a 6 month subscription.

After you decide on the size of the box, you complete a Chocolate Profile so Chococurb can send you the kind of chocolate you love to eat. Don’t like dark chocolate? White chocolate? You won’t receive any in your box. You receive the kind of chocolates that you love! You can also purchase many of the chocolate bars that come in the monthly boxes on Chococurb’s website without committing to a monthly subscription.

The April 2016 Chococurb box had 5 chocolate bars for us to enjoy. They do not include a product information sheet. Since the weather is getting warm, I was glad to see the products arrive in a padded foil pouch with cold packs both inside and outside the pouch. Nothing was melted and all the chocolate was nice and fresh.

Vivra Chocolate – Orange Passion Bar 3 oz ($7.50)

This is a handmade artisan chocolate bar, not on the Chococurb website, with bright orange notes in a 65% dark chocolate with a finish of passion fruit halo. Yum!

Dick Taylor Craft Chocolate – Bunches & Bunches Ginger Snaps 2 oz ($8.50)

This is a bar with crumbled bits of handcrafted, spicy ginger snaps, made by “Bunches & Bunches” from Portland, Oregon paired with 74% Dominican Republic dark chocolate. The brand is on the Chococurb website but this particular bar is not.

Divine – Milk Chocolate with Toffee & Sea Salt 3.5 oz ($3.99)

This delicious chocolate bar is appropriately named – Divine!! The company is owned by a co-op of family farmers in Ghana. It has sea salt and toffee and ingredients are Fair Trade.

Domori – Puertofino Dark Chocolate .88 oz ($6.99)

This is a 70% dark chocolate bar crafted from Venezuelan cocoa grown on the Hacienda San Jose. I wish I was enough of a chocolate taster to be able to discern all the different notes! It is also not on the Chococurb website.

Puertofino has notes of caramel, tobacco, walnuts, papaya, brushwood, mushrooms and dates.

 

JCOCO – Black Fig Pistachio in Dark Chocolate 1 oz ($2.65)

Made with all natural ingredients, non-GMo, gluten-free and Kosher, this is a dark chocolate bar made with dried black California mission figs and whole roasted California pistachios that give a sweet fruit and nutty crunch complex texture to the dark chocolate.

Total value for the April 2016 Chococurb box comes to $29.63, still less than the $35 cost for 3 months in a row. I have to conclude that you are paying for the shipping and packaging even though that is not suggested on their site. My April 2016 Chococurb box is also heavily weighted toward dark chocolate, with 4 of the bars being dark and only one being milk chocolate. I like dark chocolate but really wanted a mix of both. My final opinion on this sub box after 3 months is that it is not a good value for the money spent. I can see this being a nice surprise gift for a fellow chocolate lover or good if you are just busy and love having things arrive in your mailbox, but you could do much better just buying the chocolate bars in the store when you are out and about.

Have you tried Chococurb? If so, what is your take on this subscription box?
