Check out this wonderful review of last month's box (she gets a bonus gift):

"I've been a member of Eatwell Farm's CSA for about a year now, and I've been incredibly happy with my every-other-weekly box of produce. So when I heard that The Xocolate Bar was starting something similar with chocolates, I couldn't have been more excited. When I picked up my first box from the store I was so eager to taste the chocolates that I wouldn't let myself open the box on the way home -- otherwise I knew half the chocolates would be gone before I got home!

I signed up for the Yum membership, which meant a dozen filled chocolates and a Cardamom Crunch Bar (my favorite!), and the perfectly-named OMG Bar as a bonus gift. I requested that I get the chocolates only once a month, because given my tendency to inhale the Xocolate Bar's offerings, I didn't think my waistline could stand any more. True to form, the chocolates were almost gone within a week. I cracked open the Cardamom Crunch that day, and a couple of nights later my husband and I discovered that the Aztec Amor Truffle lives up to its promise. One by one, the bonbons disappeared in the next few days.

I'm very happy with Community Supported Chocolate so far. The quantity was perfect, and everything was delicious. The Aztec Amor and OMG Bar alone would make me delirious with joy! My only (very mild) complaint is that there were two Rangpur Lime Truffles in the box; I would have preferred just one so the other spot could go to another exciting flavor. Other than that, bring on September's box! My taste buds have been waiting!"   -Lisa H.
