Gourmet Chocolates for Pink Saturday and The Color Carnival
A most delightful part of any holiday in my estimation is being the recipient of good chocolate. My husband and sons acquitted themselves admirably in this task for Mother's Day last weekend, when I received a colorful assortment of chocolates from Lake Champlain, Vermont, and a Vosges gourmet chocolate bar with Goji berries, pink Himalayan salt and 41% cacao. (Tres delish.)

Many thanks for playing along and I will do this again soon because it's Fun to play the Fairy Godmother. Plus, See's Chocolate is really popular and well loved!
I had never heard of See's Chocolates until I moved to California sixteen years ago despite being a Hardcare Chocoholic. I have also traveled quite a bit and had the pleasure of discovering yummy treats all over. So today I wanted to share some of my favorites. (Yes, a post devoted to sweets. I am a junkie. Too far gone for any redemption.)
In California, two of my favorite chocolates are from See's Candies and Ghiradelli Chocolates. Fresh, flavorful, fullbodied. (Hmm, sounds like a wine review.) See's Caramels and Buttercream ANYTHING and Ghiradelli's bite sized dark chocolate with mint filling are delicious favorites.
A new inductee into my Chocolate Hall of fame is The Sweet Shop at The Ahwahnee Hotel. The pastry chef makes incredible plum sized truffles and buttercreams fresh every morning. The vanilla buttercream and caramel were incredible and so satisfying without being too rich.
As we move east in the continental U.S., Enstrom's Toffees from Colorado is well worth the calories. The combination of dark chocolate and almond toffee will leave you wanting more.
I have to give Shout Outs to these Sweet Shoppes, for their ice cream and other goodies, clean, fresh flavors and general yumminess.
Hawaii - Lappert's Ice Cream (Also, if I mention the Islands,it's necessary to acknowledge Shave Ice available in every flavor of the Rainbow.)
Now that I mentioned "Shaved Ice", I can't forget Water Ice (pronounced Wood-Er Ice) available in my big sis's beautiful Philadelphia.
Ohio - Graeter's Ice Cream has chocolate chocolate chip ice cream with chips the size of your thumb.
Also in Ohio - United Dairy Farmers - World's Best Malts and Milkshakes in a convenient store, A Convenient Store!!!
New York City, Little Italy - Ferrara Bakery and Cafe - The whole experience, the delicious pastries, attentive service and unique atmosphere is sublime.
How about you? Any wonderful Sweet Shoppes that you can share? Thank you so much.
