Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Anyone Tried Swiss Colony's Petit Fours? I was wondering if anyone has tried their Petit Fours? Are they good? Bad? So-so? I love the look of them and am thinking about them for a holiday party, but only if they are DE-LISH!

| I think someone sent us those as part of a gift pack of food years ago, .... they tasted like wax. So did the cheese in the gift pack..but even more like wax. maybe I'm remembering wrong tho, maybe someone else will respond. |

We get a package of them sent to us every Christmas. These are the little square chocolate covered cookie type things? Decorated with Christmas symbols? Those? Any way that's what we receive....and my daughter will eat the entire box. No kidding. Btw I've tasted them...they're Okay...but not what I consider de-lish...simply okay.

Hmmm...this is for a holiday party...do you think they'd be kinda lame if they're just "okay"....maybe huh? I mean, for a holiday party -- you kinda want it to be special. A local bakery does them, of course, for about 5x the cost.

| Wow, I wasn't even sure they made those anymore! I used to order them like 15-20 years ago! They are "ok", they are cute, but not the greatest! I don't remember them tasting like wax though!

| I have an aunt who sends us stuff from swiss colony every Christmas. They aren't the BEST in the world, but they are good (okay)...and I think they are cute...and would be good for a holiday party....at the price and the selection of different flavors, etc....you might be pleasantly pleased w/ them!

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Looks like they get the... "okay" food rating.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Yep...that's how I took it too. I can't risk it; if I had tried them before, maybe, but since it's for a holiday party - I really want the desserts to be YUM. THANKS guys, for the opinions and help. I think I'm going to go w/ my plan B, which is: a platter of signature bars from AJs, chocolate dipped strawberries (white and dark ), and my own special "molten" brownies. Hopefully, sweet tooths will be satisfied.

| As a connoisseur of petit fours, the ones from SC are less than average. Did you ever try getting them from a bakery? That's what I do and they are delicious. Once I tried making them - they turned out delicious, but they didn't look very pretty.
