Invite 43'ers to make a list of 43 Chocolate Sites for Worldwide Chocolate Tour

What a treat!

Went to New York City a couple weeks ago and when we sat down to rest near Rockefeller center, voila’ there was a chocolate shop right in front of us. Champagne Truffles became the big splurg that weekend!

PD

One does not often get to visit Duluth Minnesota, particularly in the winter, but this is what I did about two weeks ago. During the trip I visited “Torke Weihnachten” for a cup of cappucino, a sampling of German chocolates and a tour of delightful Christmas ornaments. My ancestry is, in part, German and we had a few old German ornaments on our Christmas Tree when I was growing up, and it was nice to remember them as I browsed the shop. It was a great little place to get in out of the cold; the waitress was very pleasant and helpful, too. So, if you are in that corner of the world, do not despair, there is a place to satisfy your chocolate needs….

the tour

a wonderful side trip on a trip to Berkeley, California, should you be headed in my direction

and what may not be mentioned in the website is there is a very nice cafe there, with yummy brunch, chocolate pot au creme, and the aroma of chocolate everywhere….

I just discovered The Chocolate Alchemist at one of my local shops. Rather than a long description, I shall quote the website:

We are a new company operating from a small factory in Sussex and our aim is to excite the minds and tastebuds of all you chocoholics out there!

They do very evil products like slices of dried mango dipped in dark chocolate. Be warned: it is extremely addictive!

It’s very good, but certainly not cheap.

_{I’m glad I got to mark a given up goal as done!}

Check this list before any travel. Keeps the family happy and sane!

Noka makes exquisite (or so my wife claims), single chocolate truffles. TASTE Editors #1 luxury chocolate in the world (but not cheap!)
