Bedré means "Better" in Norwegian.
So... Chocolate manufactured by the Chickasaw Nation using cacao grown in Central America and North Africa with a Norwegian brand name. In Davis, Oklahoma. They're so close from representing every continent out there. Maybe shove a penguin, kangaroo, and a Bengal tiger into the logo somewhere and call it a day?
Bedré Fine Chocolate is... Fine. Actually, it's better than fine. I mean yeah, it's very touristy, and the prices reflect that, but the chocolate is delicious. Much better chocolate than what we as Americans consume on a regular basis. Hershey's is crap, that's right I said it.
I'm personally a big fan of the Hot Fudge Meltaways, which in my humble opinion is the only thing worth spending your money on, but others will tell you I'm wrong. Actually, the Mint and Caramel Meltaways are also quite delightful.
Gift bags, which include a random assortment of Meltaways (except Mint) are $15 for 40. If you buy just a handful of Meltaways, they are $0.40 a piece, which comes to $16 for 40. Yes, it's one dollar more if you pick and choose your own flavors, but honestly, it's probably worth it to just buy individual pieces, because that extra dollar spent ensures that you get only the flavors you want, and not the crap flavors like the Raspberry. Blecch. But the gift bag thing is nice, because... Gift bags. For gifts, you know? Oh right, sugar-free gift bags are $17.
Prices are not cheap per se, but they're not exorbitant either. Actually no, the Chocolate Crisps are quite inflated, and not worth the asking price. Yes, I've tasted them, and no a tiny Pringles-sized can is not worth $10. But the Meltaways are totally worth it. We bought three gift bags and it totaled $47. If we weren't entirely lazy, we could have bought individual pieces and gift-wrapped them ourselves.
Also, definitely don't buy the coffee or the chocolate soda at this factory location. For whatever reason, they're significantly cheaper if you walk into the Chickasaw Travel Stop just across the street. When I say significantly cheaper, I mean the coffee was $4 cheaper for the same bag, and a 4-pack of soda bottles was also cheaper, although I can't remember by how much now.
Anyway, long story long, Bedré has good gift options if/when you're visiting someone outside of Oklahoma.
