Godiva Dark Chocolate Ganache Heart Review
My wife is a huge dark chocolate fan, and I originally purchased this chocolate for her. Anytime I can get chocolate on sale at Costco, I know I’m going to get a good deal and my wife and I will both be happy campers.
The chocolate hearts are bite-sized and weigh about a quarter of an ounce each. They are all individually wrapped in a fancy little godiva wrapper.
While the individually wrapped pieces don’t seem too big, the chocolate hearts fit snugly and stretch across the entire width within the packaging.
The chocolate hearts themselves are very beautiful. The Godiva name is printed on each piece, and the chocolate looks smooth and to be of very high quality.
The chocolate ganaches taste amazing. I’m not a big fan of overly sweet chocolates, so these are perfect for me. The chocolate is first class and the ganache is superb.
I originally thought the ganache would be a little softer and melt in your mouth, but it does not. It’s a harder chocolate but it still very good and fits the chocolate hearts very well.
For the milk and dark chocolate lovers, this dark chocolate isn’t super bitter. I enjoy a nice 60-72% dark chocolate but I think these would go well for all chocolate fans.
One thing that is missing from the package is the percentage of cacao that the chocolate pieces are made of. I’m wondering if because this chocolate includes a ganache that it doesn’t list the cacao % or if it’s for some other reason. If anybody knows, please share in the comments.

Yes, this is a chocolatey treat, but it is dark chocolate and there are some health benefits attributed to it. Dark chocolate is a powerful source of antioxidants and it may improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. Some studies have even indicated that dark chocolate may also reduce heart disease risk and improve brain function. Not bad for a chocolate candy!

Final Thoughts
These dark chocolate ganaches from Godiva are delicious. I love buying sweet treats from Costco because of the price, but these can definitely be addicting. The pieces are all individually wrapped which will help mitigate some of the binge eating, but it’s still not hard to eat multiple servings a day.
When on sale for $5.89, Godiva Dark Chocolate Ganaches are priced right and fancy enough to make a nice gift. These are a buy, but make sure to buy them as a gift for someone else. Trust me on this!
