@firefly,
Back when I lived in Eureka, California, there was a shop that made their own chocolates that were exceptionally delicious. They probably used Belgian chocolate. I remember they were so good that I sent a small selection of them to Roberta. Shortly thereafter, the company switched to more organic ingredients and different recipes and I thought the taste, etc., was ruined. Oh, well.
I remember other chocolates that I bought when I was staying in an albergo in northern Italy that was right across the street from a shop that was a Bar that also sold terrific chocolates. I think that was in Parma. Dammit, I'll have to go back to check out the wall of glassed in special chocolates... probably also made with Belgian chocolate. <sighing at the memory, no chance for such a trip>
