Chocolate in the City

In every one of its conceivably magnificent forms, from creamy bonbons to silky fondues, malted milks to the reliable solid candy bar, chocolate has the ability to elevate minds, hearts and spirits. Like no other delicacy in history, chocolate has been universally known to send shivers down spines while planting smiles on faces, supposedly due to its powers as an aphrodisiac. It’s no wonder the Aztecs got so violent without their chocolate! [Read more...]
