First is Last with Oliver Kita or rather A Box of his Studio Collection.

Kita

Call it 16 Creative Sweets in an array of colors and flavors from spicy to sweet and salty and back. 

Don't believe everything David Lebovitz says. I am not "going to come by and feed them to you, one-by-done." As David notes "there's enough chocolates in there so that you shouldn't have trouble finding someone to come over, French or otherwise, and share them with."

It retails for $40, Prize Code is UE17
