Since Valentine's day is around the corner. I thought I would start a discussion on favorite places to buy chocolates.

My favorite chocolate place is Teuscher Chocolates of Switzerland. The Champange Truffles are their signature chocolate.

Check it out at - http://www.teuscher.com/

I would have to say San Francisco and the Ghirardelli Factory. Lovely, glorious chocolate that you can purchase by the very large brick! The runner-up would have to be Hershey, PA.

Talking about Chocolate......I am there


Have any of you heard about Belgian chocolates......these are the best types of chocolates!! I have been in Belgium for 5 years now and they are wonderful. If you have not had a chance to try them......take a trip to Belgium and then to Brugge. Awesome. They have all kinds of chocolates and you can purchase them in an assorted box too. They have all flavors to include ones with alcohol.....I was shocked. Not my cup of tea, but it was there.

I'm sorry to bring the level of class down, but nothing can beat a 3 Musketeers bar. :)

I visited the Ghirardelli Factory in SF, and enjoyed the tour. Their chocolates are good, but my favorite came from Gevalia as a gift. I have no idea of the name since I lost the name when someone threw out the empty box.


I prefer most milk chocolates except I like dark on raspberry or cherry confections. DH likes only milk chocolate. Everyone has a favorite chocolate bar.

Lindt little round truffles are delicious! Especially the white chocolate ones.

My favorite chocolate bar is the Endangered Species Chocolate Bars.  Very smooth and rich.  Now, if you are ever in Hawaii, check out the Chocolate Souffle at Roy's (and be sure to get some Vanilla Ice Cream with it!)  Chocolatey goodness!!

MarieBelle are my absolute favorites. I received them last year as a thank you gift and I was blown away. I am a sucker for packaging but her chocolates are so beautiful that I didn't want to eat them! I did. And they were divine. Now they are my favorite gift to give...

The best chocolate ever -- if you can believe it is in Asheville, NC at a little shop called (I think) the Chocolate Fetish -- sinful things are being done there -- I mean, my best chocolate experience to date.

I love going anywhere where I can get Dove dark chocolate!  I can't get it here in the UK, and I miss it!

When I turned 12, my grandparents took me to a Broadway show and Tavern on the Green, where I had a chocolate mousse for my dessert.  The mousse came in a bowl on a plate, so after I ate the mousse I noticed the bowl was chocolate too. I remember how special I felt and how good the bowl was!

I was just browsing some of the topics that I have commented on and this one came up,There's an M&M store in Las Vegas,NV.


Huge store with m&m's everywhere,that's definetly a place to endulge yourself in.I did and tried to save some to take home but they didn't make it.I didn't want them to melt in my hand from all the heat in Vegas lol.Everyone got a post card instead of m&m's.
