If you’re from Pennsylvania you may be familiar with Wilbur Buds, wonderful chocolate made in Lititz. They make milk and dark, and the dark is totally wonderful.
My cousin’s ex is from Russia and every time she went home to visit, she’d bring back boxes of Russian candy. Russian chocolate is awful. I asked him why he couldn’t marry a girl from Switzerland.
