Last Saturday, we went on a chocolate factory tour at Charles Chocolates in Emeryville. My sister Miwa (who recently relocated to the area) is doing a research paper on cocoa and chocolate, so we went in the name of “research.” It’s confirmed for me that chocolates — not diamonds — are a girl’s best friend.

the selection for the chocolate tastings. (from left: salted caramel, raspberry filled, peanut-butter filled, almond cluster, and lemon marzipan)
Those have got to be the fanciest chocolates I have ever come across. They scream quality with those crisp thin chocolate walls and refined filling. And those chocolate butterflies were Reese peanut butter cups on steroids!! I didn’t think you could improve much on peanut butter & chocolate.
Anyway, if anyone is in the area you should give them a shot.

The mojito ones were a little too much… just like the lemon marzipan. Mojito gelato is pretty good though.
