We've been Lindt fans for years. Not since 1845 when they started creating their Swiss chocolate masterpieces, but probably 20 of those. Birch Run is a great location. The only one of its kind that I've seen.
One of their triumphs are truffles or as we refer to them "little balls of heaven". You can fill a sack with 150 for around $40. We're getting older so we opt to fill the bag with 75 for a little over $20. You can also get a 1/2 pound for $9.95. In response to Covid restrictions, they insist on sanitizer and gloves.
The chocolate truffles come in a variety of flavours like White Chocolate, Mint, Cappuccino, Orange and caramel. At the last minute I found a few strawberry balls hiding from me. Don't look for Irish Cream, the bastards at corporate discontinued that option a few years ago.
The ladies here are very friendly and explain every thing you need to know. They'll even weigh your balls and tell you if you've maxed out or not. Our sacks are usually too heavy and we have to put some back. Oooops!
In the end they get the count right and we find ourselves out in the parking lot with a huge coffee, stuffing chocolate balls in our mouths (don't tell my doctor)! 05/21 read more
