Oprah's Favorite Things 2015

Three chocolates make Oprah’s Favorite Things list for 2015

Gourmet Chocolates entice Oprah, her fans

By Crystal Lindell
November 11, 2015

Just because Oprah recently invested $43 million in Weight Watchers, doesn’t mean she’s giving up candy.

The famous talk show host, founder of O Magazine, and all around media mogul, recently released her list of her top 87 favorite things — apparently, despite the first letter of her name, she’s not a fan of round numbers.

The list included everything from a $150 Skandia Talvi Knife Block Set to a $148 Hakuho-do + Sephora Pro Kan Kabe Perfection Brush Set that’s handmade in Japan.

And of course, it also included some delicious chocolates.

Below is a look at the sweets that made the cut, and what Oprah had to say about them:

Alma Chocolate Icons Gift Box

Iconic Chocolates

"These gilded organic dark chocolates in the shape of spiritual totems would look perfectly at home on an altar. But wouldn't you rather eat them?" —Oprah

●     Icons gift box, $120, free shipping with code OPRAH

Giant and Signature Turtle Basket

Choco-palooza

"Sitting down? You'll need to be to handle 15 pounds of chocolate turtles (hand-roasted nuts and caramel coated with milk, dark, or white chocolate) presented in a 5-pound edible basket. That's 20 pounds of chocolate, people! I've ordered the giant version for certain friends, but smaller appetites can get the signature size."—Oprah

●     Giant Turtle Basket, originally $500, now 20 percent off with code OPRAH

●     Available at: Phillipschocolate.com

●     Signature Turtle Basket, originally $90, now 20 percent off with code OPRAH

Square Deal

"As luscious as they are pretty, these thin, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate squares, in unexpected flavors like mango paprika and rose almond, are just the right size for a 3 P.M. (or 10 P.M. or 11 A.M.) snack." — Oprah

●     Originally $75, now 20 percent off with code OPRAH
