Description | Viktoria Richard's interpretation of traditional recipes and contemporary designs make each of her chocolates truly unique. We prepare each confection using the finest and freshest ingredients without preservatives. Victoria takes great pride in creating one of kind confections that are simply delightful while using only the finest European chocolate. These hand crafted delights make great personal gifts, perfect wedding favors, and exceptional corporate gifts. The Boxed Classics: Our initial collection consists of our interpretation of classic flavors. While we do admit to being influenced by the latest Artisan trends in chocolate making in which exotic spices are added to the confections, we find that our customers always appreciate the classics. When we do add exotic spices, the confection has to pass the taste test of our testing panel before we begin to offer it to the public. We introduce new flavors to our boxed assortment every four months. The Foundation of Great Chocolate Confections: Simply put: Great chocolates confections begin with great chocolates. To that end we use only the best Belgian and French Chocolates as the foundation for our confections. The shells or covering (The correct culinary term is couverture) of our molded chocolates are made exclusively with dark chocolate. Why do we use dark chocolate? One simple reason, it is the chocolate that is the healthiest of all the chocolates. Also while most American’s have a preference for milk-chocolate; we feel that is our mission to educate the consumer. European Dark Chocolates are smoother, and not as bitter as their American counterparts. Preparation: Today’s contemporary chocolatier is part Artisan and Scientist! The science of preparing chocolate for use in filled confections and solid confections is referred to as tempering the chocolate. Tempering is the process of melting chocolate, cooling it down, and heating it up again slightly. Basically, it is the raising and lowering the temperature of melted chocolate so that the fat crystals in the cocoa butter stabilize. That’s a simplified scientific explanation. The practical one is that you are simply adjusting the characteristics of the melted chocolate so that it sets up with a nice gloss shine, doesn’t melt in your hands upon contact, has a pleasing texture when eaten, and melts nicely on your tongue. The Perfect Chocolate: While it may be said that there is no such thing as the perfect chocolate, We consider chocolate from the top quality Belgian, French and Swiss chocolate manufacturers to be the best foundation for Viktoria Richards Chocolates. We find that our manufacturers have perfected the art of roasting, blending and refining their cacao beans in such a way as to produce chocolate that possesses unique favors and melts on your tongue. The texture of less expensive chocolate will have the grainy and or waxy texture that we are all familiar with from many chocolates. We should point out that there are a number of American chocolate manufacturers who produce quality Premium chocolate. The Perfect Ganache: (filling) The essence of great artisan chocolates lies in the creation of fillings that complement the chocolate which surrounds the candy or truffle. Artistic creativity has to be balanced with good taste. Through months of research, we have developed natural means to enhance our flavors. For example, in our opinion, when someone bits into a great raspberry truffle they should be able to immediately sense the fresh taste the raspberry without encountering the after taste that alcohol often creates. Our fillings (ganaches) made with either dark or milk chocolate. We have found that certain flavors match better with each respective chocolate. The Perfect Box: We believe that each box must contain several pieces of the same flavor. We have all had the experience of opening a box of chocolates, selecting a piece, announcing to our friends that we really enjoyed the one we selected and then have the friend ask, “Is there another one of those in the box?†only to answer “noâ€. Great artisan chocolates are meant to be experienced by more than just one person. Viktoria found the perfect chocolate box on one of her trips to Europe. Our box is covered in a fine linen cloth in our signature colors. We encourage our customers keep the box to store things in. The Perfect Bar, Tile and Bagged Products. Our assortment includes handmade artisan bars, tiles and bagged nut products. Each of our specialty products are made with the same attention to detail and creativeness that put into our boxed artisan chocolates. Every order of our chocolates represents our pursuit of the perfect chocolate experience for our customers. “Chocolates Made For You™†isn’t just a business slogan it is our passion! Sustainability: While we don’t claim to be ardent environmentalists, we do believe in being responsible and conscious of our businesses impact on society. We purchase our chocolate from manufacturing companies that are members of the World Cocoa Foundation. The manufacturers who are members of this foundation support living wage initiatives for cocoa growers around the globe. | This meta description is 5247 characters in length.

We would not go down that road unless very carefully - meta keywords have not been known as a positive ranking factor for a while now. |
Site speed | Around 1.0546 seconds | The website load speed is rather good. |
Alexa global rank | 15783719, as last checked | Based on Alexa Global, we can assume the website is not very popular. Mind you, Alexa's worth is questionable at best. |
Quantcast | Current rank, according to our database, is at 891509 | Quantcast does not rank this website very high, which should in theory mean it's not that popular. Having said that, popularity is context-dependant, so take this with a grain of salt. |
Links on homepage | Around 43 links | This is a well-judged amount of links for a homepage. |
Backlinks amount | Approximately 13 | The number of backlinks seems awfully low. If possible, the webmaster should work towards building more through quality content and public awareness. |
HTML size | 24.1KB | A very good result, this. Remember, search engines such as Google place a lot of their website ratings on its speed. |
Website host server overview | Server status: online. Server IP address for this website is 69.162.134.16. | We apologize, but for some reason we were unable to gather enough data to provide a detailed insight at this time. |

Now that the numbers are taken care of, we can go deeper and try to analyse the website from a user's perspective. More specifically, let's see if we can identify the target audience as well as a few related websites and categories.
Parameter | Current result | Assessment |
---|---|---|
Related categories | Shopping Food Confectionery Chocolate |
The website falls into one or all of these categories, and, obviously, these are the areas of interest for the target audience. |
Alternative websites | pinellaschocolate.com williamdeanchocolates.com tampaschocolatedelight.com schakolad.com normanloveconfections.com |
These websites fall into the same categories as vrchocolates.com, more or less. By extension, they compete with the analysed website for the same target audience. |
ALEXA rating is based on the number of visitors a given page receives. The higher the visitor count, the higher the rating. Currently, ALEXA has over 4 million websites indexed. If you sense cynicism in our words, you're not mistaken - we think Alexa rating is overrated, to put it mildly. A website's worth (and contextual popularity) is more than the sum of the views. So take the rank with a grain of salt.
QUANTCAST is a data processing company that mostly gathers information for advertising companies. It specializes in real-time audience analysis and, as you may have gathered, is really quite similar to Alexa, if perhaps not as infamous. To our knowledge, the company has rated and ranked approximately 251834406 websites so far. There is always a caveat with these sort of ranking systems - they don't really take any context into account. As such, their usefulness is debatable at best. Don't overthink this rank - it's just a number, really.
Servers are physical storage devices that contain all the files and databases associated with a specific website, sometimes more than one. At times, a server makes up several virtual devices - separate servers used for shared hosting (tends to be cheaper). Entering website address into the address bar of your browser starts the request process during which your browser contacts the server and asks for specific files and database entries in order to display the requested website.
