I'm also spending winter break traveling parts of the US and have been checking out different stores in different cities to find new chocolates and candy - but wish my mother was here to buy me Vosges, like yours was!!

I'm a big fan of the Ferry Building, although know more about its savory options, and I'm looking forward to visiting the truffle place (you mean there's something worthwhile near the Wharf other than the seals? Really?). Too bad you didn't get to Citizen Cake, as I've heard good things. Happy New Year!

I do have to say, though, you find the most interesting candies that I find myself in need to get a hold of! I also love your rating system. Keep on doing what you do!

Great blog!!! My sister, Annie, introduced me to it because she mentioned she had attended one of your chocolate tasting parties at school. Anyway, keep up the great work! I lurve chocolate and sweets, so it's great to read about all the different types available. Hello! Great blog!!!

Pleeeease? Your trip sounds great (although to be honest the thing that made me hungriest was the mention of dim sum, probably because I already ate a lot of candy today and am sugared-out) - hope you have a safe trip back to Austin and find my box of Russian stuff waiting for you when you get there! Also, I can't find where this was mentioned (email or what), and maybe I just dreamed it, but I think you offered me a romance novel? To which I say YES PLEASE. It will serve excellently as summer reading when I get home, so there's definitely no rush in sending it. ;) And third, my little brother's girlfriend's mom makes candy, and she made us a plate of stuff for Christmas on which there were turtles with sprinkles of sea salt on top! If not for your blog, I would have been totally bewildered by that. So thanks for making me cultured! (As it turned out, I found them to be not that exciting, because the salt was touching the chocolate, not the caramel, and it took a lot of chewing to get the salty and caramel-y flavors juxtaposed. Chocolate and salt don't go together as well.) Whew, long comment. Over and out! :) I’m not in the U.S. at the moment, but could you enter me anyway and then send the candy to my mom if I win?

You really did manage to see a lot of confectioners. Very impressive. All the candy sounds super. Tell us more about Zots. I've never had them, but names with a Z are always fun, aren't they? I've really enjoyed reading about the offbeat candies that you've tried recently. Very entertaining. Please enter me for the candy giveaway. Thanks. :) Wow, what a fun holiday!

That last part got me excited. ;) Your trip sounded like a bunch of fun - i'm hoping to go on a candy expedition this upcoming summer. Unfortunately, the relatives came to me this holiday season, so I couldn't go on any adventures of my own. I'm an avid reader, although I don't post much. I'm a busy guy, what can I say? ;) Yummy!
