Has anyone ever ordered from Swiss Colony? I've been getting their catalogs and so many of their products look SO GOOD! This time with my catalog, I received 2 coupons to try 4 of their products for free with any order. I don't know what I want to try!

Does anyone have any recommendations on some of their products to try? Thanks!

I had some of there petit fours for my wedding in May 05. I think we had the chocolate, multi-flavored and spring ones. They were pretty good. I thought they were cheap enough and I had some sort of coupon too!

The petit fours are good. I'm partial to lemon but all are good. Just pick your favorite flavors. Also had their ''cakes''. They're torted into many very thin layers and are good too.
Use the coupons and have a party!!!

Thanks! One of my coupons is for free petit fours, I also can pick 3 out of chocolate truffles, macadamia nut chocolates, truffle assortment, and brownies.

Has anyone tried their cheeses and/or sausages?

Stick with a good cheese shop.
I didn't like Swiss Colony cheeses or sausages at all. EEEEWWWWW

I'm sure everything is a lot smaller than expected. Probably overpriced. They do have a way to make everything look really shiny and good! Check the weights of products.

I've noticed that too! You would think you would get so much but then the weight doesn't match.

With all your coupons, it's well worth it. The cakes are rich and very tasty.
I shopped with the coupons too and read everything I thought I might like to try. And yes, you do need to check weight to get the best bargains. You'll enjoy whatever you pick in cakes, petit fours, truffles....
Again, steer clear of the other foods.

I like their items, but their customer service SUCKS. I ordered from them the past two years and was charged twice, my address wasnt updated in their computer ( they changed it but never "saved" it in their records) so I didnt get my bills on time and they threatened to place me in collections over $40. Love the items, hate the service.

I highly recommend the peppermint bark.
