>Phily: Max Brenner (Round 2)- Now in Philadelphia
Stopped in Max’s new Philylocation. Smaller than the Las Vegas store at The Forum Shops (see my review last month). I was able to have a quick hot chocolate andrefill the coffers from what I picked up and ate (or gave away) from theVegas trip. I can’t get over how wellthought through a concept this […]

>Leaving Las Vegas: The Candy Shoppe at the Airport
Just in case you missed all of the stores reviewed on my trip, have no fear, you still can get a quick fix at MacLaren Airport.

>Las Vegas: Serendipity3 – my “AH-HA” moment
>OK, it must be the irony of it all. Here I am- walking the Las Vegas strip- thinking or talking with myself, saying: “what are you doing, Joe?”, “are you really out here chronicling all of the great chocolate spots on Vegas Strip?”, “are you really going to do this chocolate thing, for real?”, “can […]
