Hometown Favorites: The Emotional Side of Chocolate

I agree there is emotion associated with chocolate, but I also think flavor plays a big part. I started out eating See's early in life, and it tastes way better to me than the flavor of any Belgian or French chocolate I have ever had.

I worked at La Maison du Chocolat in Rawdon, Quebec on weekends during my high-school years, and they're the best chocolates I've had so far. I remember I had friends from school that worked there as well, and the lady who ran the place was so nice, it was a small family place and I loved it. She paid us less than minimum wage, but let us eat as much chocolate as we wanted :D The others would joke about how I'd put the place out of business with all the chocolate I ate! loll. My favourite was always dark chocolate. She even made her own ice cream, and had a cappuccino machine too. That's where I got my username :P I remember the first time I tasted her chocolate, I thought it was the most amazing chocolate ever, although the circumstances weren't that great, a friend of my parents had bought them for me and my sister when we went to visit my mom in the hospital once. It was a simple dark chocolate candy cane and I asked where she had bought it. That was years earlier though, who would have guessed I'd be lucky enough to end up working there one day!

Char-val's! Oh MerMade07, you've brought back some memories! Haven't heard that name in ages!
See's was always a big Easter treat too.
By far tho, my 2 favorite chocolate shops are Mon Aimee Chocolat in Pittsburgh & Yossick's in Columbus, Ohio.
My favorite childhood chocolate memory has to be when my uncle came to visit and took me and my sister to Station Square and told us to get a pound a piece. My Mom went into shock and wittled us down to a half pound each, but I was still set up with more coconut chocolates than reasonable for child consumption! (It also set the bar for all of my boyfriends since!)

Definitely See's! I've lived in Chicago for 10 years now and everyone was praising Fanny May but it's just nowhere as good as See's. Mmmm.
