When we lived in the Boston area, we went to the cutest candy shop. It not only had the traditional brittles, fudges, and bars, but all sorts of novelty chocolate for just about any wish. After we moved, they levelled the historical building and made it another donut shop (bad move! that donut shop didn’t last!.) Since, we have not been able to find any place in our new town that was the same feast for the eyes as well as it was the scourge of the digestive tract or the wallet. The prices were good, we just bought a lot at once.
I just found the bestest and cutest chocolate gifts at Gertrude Hawk Chocolates online that gave me the same sort of nostalgia! How could you not want to buy a little firehouse with firefighter and firetruck shaped chocolate in it? I think that the fire truck would taste better than the dollhouse themed chocolates as I was more of a tomboy who played Tonka trucks. In fact, I know that certain shapes taste better than others.
I couldn’t remember where I had heard the name before, and then I recalled a candybar fundraiser for my basketball team when I was in high school that we did using their bars! The profit amount was better than any of their competitors and the taste was much better too. I will say that if we sold the chocolate petshop or dollhouse chocolates, all the girls that were with me on the team would have bought them up and stockpiled them. We would have worked it off on the court.
