I am an adult (or at least my age dictates so) but when I walk in to a store this time of year and see a display of Reese’s Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs, it never fails to make me want to shriek with glee, grab a bag and go running out of the store […]

I had first heard of Ethel’s Chocolates a few years ago while living in Chicago, where they had multiple shops.

It’s amazing how Boston is only a three hour drive away and yet I’ve only been there a few times in my life. Taste Tester and I visited this past weekend and had a great time. There are lots of fun things to do there like:
Thing #1: Walk the Freedom Trail and see some historic […]
