We have used Totally Chocolate for all our trade shows. They allow us to customize our chocolate bar wrappers, and their chocolate is delicious. And, what really stands out is their customer service and professionalism. I just cannot recommend them enough.

We had the pleasure of doing some business with this company. Great people. We also were able to enjoy some of their chocolate sugar cookies, highly recommend.

I've worked with Totally Chocolate twice now, and each time the experience has been amazing. They are customer-service focused and answered all of my questions thoroughly and in an extremely timely manner. The production timing was exactly as quoted and the final products were perfect both times! Highly recommend them for custom chocolate needs!

Unbelievable product: the Belgium chocolate coated cookies are amazing! I first had them at a Sonoma Hotel several years ago; they included them as part of their turn down service. We tracked down the buyer to find out who made the cookies and that’s how we found Totally Chocolate. We’ve been fans ever since. I wish we could place an order for the individually wrapped cookies in quantities of 10 or 20.

Ordered custom chocolates as gifts to our vendors this past holiday season and got the most amazing feedback! On top of the chocolate being delicious the Totally Chocolate team helped bring our artwork to life. We started our project late in the season and our rep, Allie made everything quick and seamless to get the gifts out just in time. Will definitely be ordering again! Thank you!

We LOVE our custom chocolates from Totally Chocolate! They have been a huge hit the last two years among vendors, parents, and staff. They are the perfect holiday treat! Delivery and ordering is seamless. Allie D. is a rockstar (but please don't steal our salesperson lol)

We order custom chocolate gift boxes every year at the holidays for our customers. From design to shipping, the process is always so smooth. I love working with the team at Totally Chocolate, and our customers love eating the chocolates - we always get rave reviews on how beautiful the custom boxes and chocolates look and taste!

These cookies are just as described on the site. They are good quality and taste very good. We REALLY APPRECIATED THAT THEY ARE INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED! Once they are ordered, it is easy to track and the presentation is excellent. The boxes of 12-Piece Confetti Belgian Chocolate cookies made great Mother’s Day gifts.

Updated 2020 review: Our service from TOTALLY CHOCOLATE has always OUTSTANDING over the 7 years we've been getting their chocolate! I mean, who wouldn't be happy & feel awesome about working with chocolate! It shows in their enthusiasm. Our chocolate business cards continue to get a smile and joyful response – and that’s a great way to reinforce my appreciation for client business. The quality of the product is seen in the smile of our customers as they enjoy their first bite. I'll post a photo of our Beverly Carter Notary Public chocolate business card next to our real card to give you an idea of how we matched the two business cards. Most people say if they eat my card then they won't have my number anymore. Again, this always is a great and fun part of the conversations with my clients. I love what I do and I'm thankful for the day I found TOTALLY CHOCOLATE. Best chocolate company! I did the below review in 2017: Their service is wonderful and we receive great feedback about their product. Everyone loves our unique business cards.

AWESOME COMPANY!! I ordered from Totally Chocolate for my office as referral gifts and they turned out so good! I reached out to a rep and was sent samples to taste the chocolate before i placed an order. They are so yummy! I personalized the box we ordered with our rep who also was amazing! Would 100% recommend for any type of gift!

I LOVE working with this company! I get to work with Debbie every year on our annual order, and she's fantastic. She always emails me a few months ahead of time to see if I want to pre-order to save money, and I do. We have customized cookies with our office's logo made every year to deliver to our most loyal customers, and people love them so much they've come to eagerly expect them every year. Sometimes when we walk in with them people will excitedly ask, "Are those the cookies?!?!" Definitely will continue to work with Totally Chocolate. Thanks for the great product and customer service! 1/21/20 Update - Still loving Totally Chocolate! We ordered our usual 40+ boxes of cookies with our office logo on them, and they were a hit as usual. Thanks for providing such a consistently good product!

I order logo'd dark chocolate covered sugar cookies each year for our annual trade show event. Everyone loves the cookies - they've become our signature item and help create great traffic to our booth. Fantastic quality, from the order process to the shipping - and then the quality of the cookie is top notch. This is not your typical trade show cookie! It's more like a large piece of fine chocolate with a cookie coming along for the ride.

I had never tried Totally Chocolate before and that is always a bit concerning. But they did a great job of creating a logo chocolate bar for our "thank you" gift to staff. Besides being impressed about how great it looked and how swiftly and efficiently it arrived … it is GREAT chocolate. Way to go Totally Chocolate! It was nice to be able to hit a homerun with the staff. Cheers!

We have been using Totally Chocolate for the past 5 years for our holiday gifts to our Customers and they never disappoint! Not only is the chocolate delicious, the exceptional customer service and the beautiful presentation make this gift stand out from the others. Having it personalized adds a special touch and makes the recipient think of you every time they open the box. Also they are great about sending you samples so you can try it for yourself!!!!!!!!

It was a pleasure to work with Dorene. Great customer service, fast response, I placed the order for the company last minute and they still manage to have our order and delivery ready before Christmas. The chocolates are delicious, and the presentation absolutely beautiful with our company logo and unique box with artwork. All our customers were happy. Will definitely purchase from them again for our Christmas gifts.

18:21 06 Jan 20

Everything about this experience was perfect! Dorene walked me thru the ordering process and helped me figure out what I wanted. She made sure my order would get to Texas without melting and in a timely manner. When we discovered we didn't order enough she made sure we did not disappoint and had our choc covered cookies here! (The choc covered cookies are so delicious I may have stashed a few boxes for myself) Wonderful service, wonderful product!!

We've used Totally Chocolate for a few years now and have always had an excellent experience working with them. The product is high quality (and delicious) and their drop shipping capabilities make it easy for us when we're sending out their products to our clients who are spread across the country. Highly recommended!

Great service and quality. Have been ordering custom chocolate bar from Totally Chocolate third year now. Service is great from start to finish. Delivery is always on time. It's nice to work with a company that you can trust. We get lots of compliments on the promotional chocolate bar we give our visitors. Will continue to submit our annual order.

Have purchased hundreds of customized boxes for holiday gifts for customers from Totally Chocolate over the last few years. They do a great job. All we do is select the gift, send your logo and contact list in spreadsheet. They do the rest. They are an annual thing for us. Awesome!

Always a pleasure working with Dorene Froese and Totally Chocolate for our year end business gifts. We've always chosen the 1 lb custom bar and it's perfect! Totally Chocolate is REQUESTED by our vendors and employees and we look forward to providing memorable gifts to them each year. Dorene is an absolute treasure to work with. She always knows what we need and gets our custom logo and designed box together quickly. Along with the shipping department, she helps with any special shipping requests and goes over and above to make sure we are satisfied. With so many options to choose from, this helps tremendously. The detail on the boxes is amazing and is such a unique gift as we change the design each year. We will continue to work with Totally Chocolate each and every year. It doesn't get any better!

Amazing Customer Service, Excellent help through the chat online and amazing follow through via email. Chocolates tasted great, not like plastic or cheap and the special details they can do t make it custom made our clients really pleased. We wished they could add color to make our logo pop on the chocolate was the only thing we would change.

This is our second year purchasing chocolate bars to send as Christmas gifts to customers. Our customers love the idea and the chocolate is GREAT,! So is the packaging itself! The ordering process is smooth and the customer service is also great. The ONLY reason I am giving a 4 rating instead of a 5 is because they can't quite get the color of the packaging right. We have a particular blue that is understandably harder to get, but it would be nice if the color was as it should be.

I used Totally Chocolate at my work as a holiday season "thank you" to all of our employees. The team we worked with was great and the product was amazing. We received several compliments to the taste and packaging. I would definitely recommend them!

I send chocolate bars out with every tax return. I have used Totally Chocolate for about 20 years now. They have the creamiest milk chocolate and my clients love the candy. I have never received the wrong item or not received my order on time. When I order in the summer, they pack the cartons with freezer gel packs at no extra charge so the chocolate doesn't melt in route. The TC people should be giving lessons on how to run a business.

I ordered customized chocolate business cards from Totally Chocolate in 2017 and tried a different product in early 2019. The presentation is always beautiful and I love the Belgian dark chocolate and so do our clients! I especially appreciate the excellent customer service from my account exec Wendy! When my first order did not arrive exactly as requested, she went above and beyond to make sure my order was corrected. It's hard to find people like that who will go out of their way to make sure you're happy. Thank you! I'll be contacting you soon to re-order!

Great product at a more reasonable price than we saw from competitors. The customer service team was friendly and the design team was great! We sent them designs for the front of the bars and they were able to seamlessly copy our look and branding onto the back so we didn't have to worry about the shape of the wrapper.

I was very pleased with the customer service and quality of the product that was provided to the clients we sent this chocolate gift to. The dropship option was perfect for our situation and actually made the purchase even more cost effective for us. Looking forward to working with Totally Chocolate again.

Our firm has been using Totally Chocolate for many years as a fun "gift" to hand out to our clients during tax season. We have a custom design that we use every year. Our clients know it's a tradition and love receiving them when they come in for appointments. We can always depend on them for professional service, excellent customer service, quick turnaround, and of course delicious chocolate!

The most incredible cookies in the world! Our office truly goes crazy over these every year around the holidays. They are delicious and Totally Chocolate really takes care of their customers! Their box printing is also gorgeous...they printed a custom design for my company and it came out flawless.

I stumbled upon Totally Chocolate this past holiday season looking for a unique gift to send to clients. Not only did they blow my expectations away but the clients all loved their gifts! The custom logo bar was such a fun way to send a sweet treat. The presentation was top notch and the chocolates tasted delightful! They are my go to for all gifts now!

This is such a unique and professional way to say Thank you, Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday, Thank you for your business, the list is endless. There are so many incredible options and the quality of the product is immeasurable. Not only is it delicious and beautifully presented but it arrives in a timely manner. My rep Wendy is the best! We love Totally Chocolate!

Debbie was very helpful in our quest for a unique gift for our referring offices. We sent out custom designed 2 pound chocolate bars with a custom designed decorative box. Totally chocolate handled everything, even the shipping. It was the easiest holiday ever for our office. Choose your product, send your mailing list and its done!

We have been using Totally Chocolate for our client gifts for several years now. We have never been disappointed by the quality or customer service that this company and it's representatives provide. Our clients know we give these bars out each year and they can't wait to receive them! Totally Chocolate is always reinventing themselves to provide the best quality, presentation and satisfaction, which is why we continue to come back each year.

We've been buying Totally Chocolate sugar cookies, dipped in chocolate, with our MINUTEMAN PRESS log imprinted on the cookie itself, for over 16 years. Hand them out mid-December, and our bigger customers start clamoring for them the minute we walk in the door! Every customer who gets one knows who they came from, whether they enjoy them immediately or a few days later. A distinctive gift that isn't forgotten!

Each year we provide a "thank you" gift to our clients. For the 3rd year we used Totally Chocolate. My experience from start to finish is always terrific. Debbie was so helpful and attentive. With a 3-hour timezone difference I called one morning and expected to leave a voicemail message but Debbie was there and answered her phone! The personal attention really left me with a positive feeling about the company. When our boxes of logo-printed shortbread and chocolate cookies arrived, the customized box and the cookies exceeded my expectations. Our clients were so impressed with their delicious holiday gift. Count us in again for next year!

Debbie has been wonderful! We were so pleased with the chocolates we ordered for our centennial that when we got our new logo we ordered more. Good chocolates, good customer service.

Amazingly positive experience! Great products and equally great support and customer care. Every recipient raves, and rightly so: the products are wonderful & memorable.

I must say that we are VERY impressed with the boxes, the cookies (so crisp), and the chocolate(yummm), and the logo imprinted (so cool to see our logo in chocolate) - and even more importantly, our clients are impressed! I don't think we can ever send regular Christmas cards out again. We've had a great experience with Totally Chocolate, start to finish. I was so glad not to have to package and ship the boxes myself. They handled everything. Polite and professional from start to finish. This will be my go-to for Client Gifts from now on.

A great company and a great product. We work with TC each year to put together our annual customer chocolate gifts.

Samples of our company's chocolate gifts arrived today and they look tremendous! The quality of the final art and printing is exceptional; my hat is off to Debbie Perucca and her team. From design to production, they all have my personal appreciation for the wonderful result. The team could not have been more professional and gracious to work with, and I hope we get to do it again next year. BTW, the chocolate is delicious!

Totally Chocolate is a great company to work with. I've purchased custom made 2 lb. chocolate bars for my real estate clients. They do a fantastic job of making the chocolate bars look my business card. My clients are always so happy to get the bars. And, the chocolate is delicious!

Top notch customer service throughout the process. We ordered 100 boxes of the assorted chocolates with our logo on the 4 x 6 chocolate bar in the center. We had a custom designed band on the outside of the box with our firm logo. Totally Chocolate offers high quality production, materials and excellent tasting chocolate. Dorene was the rep who helped us create the order. Her communication throughout the process was timely. Her suggestions and ideas made the purchase very smooth. I highly recommend this company if you're looking for a gift to impress your clients and business associates.
