Stopped by to check out the new chocolate store on the 8th floor of Sak’s Fifth Ave. OUTSTANDING idea. Got the Drinking Chocolate drink and the Molton Chocolate Cake.. They were terrific!!

Bay Area: Aida Opera Candies

A throw back to Grandpa Tony’s 1947 business. This store is run out of Burlingame, Ca. I bought and ate the 8 oz sample box as well as several “foiled candies”. It was all terrific. “Rocky Road” and “Crunchy Honeycomb” are worth the trip! (www.aidacandies.com)
