Yes, we are talking about different things. I'm referring to 14 oz. pkg of chocolate cups made by Noble under the Kirkland brand.

Here's a photo. Scroll down to see the product. This is not the Kirkland packaging.


The importer told me for a fact that it is the same product we purchased from him for 4x what Costco is selling it for. It's a true bargain at Costco, but I recommend repackaging! Or serving it in your home on a nice plate. For what it's worth "ours" come in a metal tin with hinged rounded top.

There are a number of small shops buying this product for $25-35 and retailing for $40-60 for 14 oz., which was the manufacturer's market until Costco came on the scene. I wonder if they will really make money from Costco in the long run. It's certainly repositioning their product from special to sleezy.

And yes, broadwayboy, you got it right: LA MAISON DU CHOCOLAT (France) the best!
