Those Lovable Chocolate Shops Full of Joy

Friday, May 25th, 2007

In the heart of old downtown cities there are fabulous restaurants, farmers markets and quaint chocolate shops. Once you walk inside you have the sensation of smelling sweet scents of chocolaty goodness. One chocolate shop I tend to go is The Golden Turtle Chocolate Factory located in downtown Lebanon, Ohio. It is packed full of boxed chocolates of all shapes, sizes and flavours. Whether you want a chocolate car or a chocolate covered marshmallows, they have it all. Or if you go towards the food cases, there is an array of specialty chocolates. I enjoy their chocolate because it is so creamy. It pretty much melts in your mouth! One of my all time favorites is the chocolate covered pretzels: Dark Chocolate Goodies Most small town chocolate shops have better tasting chocolate than the name brand chocolate sold in normal grocery stores.

My First Rude Awakening With Chocolate.

Sunday, May 6th, 2007

This afternoon I had some Russian chocolate by the name of "Tbapdeuckuu." Unless I didn't read the labeling right. I have never been fond about Russian chocolate but I believe this was one of my worst. I found it to be disgusting. First time I tasted it, it was ok, the second time I tasted it I hated it and the last time I couldn't bear to continue any longer with that horrifying taste in my mouth. I had to give to to dad to finish for me. Eastern European Dark Chocolate All of the times I have had Russian chocolate I have found a certain peculiar taste in my mouth after words. Sort of nutty, almost fruity to me but yet at the same time I tasted something else. If you are a fan of Russian chocolate then a good place to find some is either in small local Russian and European stores or the internet. Have fun eating chocolate!
