Vande Walle’s Candies – Part One
July 12, 2018
A visit to Vande Walle’s Candies shop in Appleton, Wisconsin is a treat. I recently had the pleasure of fitting in a trip to Vande Walle’s while out shopping with my mother in-law. I loved my first step into the chocolate shop. The air conditioning felt so luxurious on that hot afternoon, and I took in the smells of chocolate, caramel, and mint hitting my senses in a delightful way.
Ah, the aromas of a chocolate shop. They’re almost identical wherever I go...
World Market’s Dark Chocolate Ginger Wasabi
October 31, 2016
Wasabi and chocolate? I have to admit, my first thought was, “weird!” Putting wasabi and chocolate together is not something I would have thought to try.

Recently, I was given a Divine Dark Chocolate with Ginger and Orange bar as a thank-you gift. I enjoy this brand of chocolate, but never tasted this particular variety before.
The chocolate is 70% Ghanaian and, true to every Divine bar I’ve ever had, it is superb.
