"Well, I don't need a doctor I don't need a nurse Anything…read moreyou give me babe will only make me worse I need rock therapy" (Stray Cats) You know a chocolate business is serious about their products when they name that business "Chocolate Therapy". Since 2011, they've created hand-made artisanal truffles, bark, and wrapped chocolates just twenty miles west of Boston. We saw them being promoted on a television news show, and since we both have a weakness for chocolate, decided to give their "Trio Nut Bark" a go. It came in a pretty boxed gift set with three different chocolate barks in generously portioned 3" X 3" squares. There were four squares of each of the three flavors for a total of twelve yummy squares. Here are the over-the-top descriptions from their website: 1) Rich Dark Chocolate Almond bark sprinkled with delicate French grey sea salt 2) Creamy White Chocolate Bark with the satisfying crunch of green hued slightly sweet pistachios 3) Smooth Milk Chocolate Bark with the delightful crunch of roasted buttery Cashews So how did our $24.50 + shipping chocolates taste? The Rich Dark Chocolate Almond bark was top notch. Excellent dark chocolate flavor, plenty of big almond pieces, and that light touch of sea salt really finished it off. The Creamy White Chocolate Bark was excellent, and I was impressed by the large amount of full-sized pistachio nuts in the square. The Milk Chocolate Bark was fantastic -smooth, creamy, and sweet with plenty of crushed cashews to boost up the taste and add to the texture. They were all so good, I really can't say I had a favorite. In summary, their chocolates are magnificent. BTW, their website advertises a very cool experience for ten or more - a Virtual Chocolate Tasting, with chocolate kits for your guests, a lesson on how chocolate is made, and chocolate tastings along each step of the process.

I can't walk past this store without getting a few too many goodies - it's not good for my wallet at all. Favorites here are the milk chocolate bark with pistachios, the strawberry stick, and far too many of the praline truffles. I'm not a big fan of dark chocolate and much prefer milk, even though the milk chocolate at most places tends to be cloyingly sweet - Laderach gets it right, not overly sweet but still rich. If you get a box of this chocolate, know that whoever gifted it truly cherishes you! Depending on who's manning the counter, you may be lucky to get some samples.

I thought maybe she didn't realize I was next in line so let it be, but then when it came time for me to place my order she said she'll help me after she helps them. When I corrected her that it's my turn, she rang up my purchase and asked if I wanted to pay that many dollars. Very disappointed with this experience.

Imagine this place was built just a few years after our country first began in 1776. It was formerly a General Store, School & Post Office. It was purchased & moved to this location by Henry Ford. Yes that Henry Ford of the Ford Motor Company. The foundation of the building was made from huge boulders dug up from the grounds, & the basement is supported by pillars made out of huge tree trunks. There is a secret located in the cellar. The stairs are hand carved from logs & the steps are joined together with wooden pegs. Mr. Ford had a way to detect burglars that predated burger alarms. What Henry did was to loosen the pegs in every third stair so they creaked. When someone stepped on them that would signal that a burglar was climbing the stairs.
