Aloha! As I have promised, let’s explore the fun in shopping! Hmm…where do we start? Do we begin with grocery, crystals, chandeliers, Lladros, Hummels, porcelains, Nao’s, Swarovski or flea markets shopping? I know, my passion in grocery shopping is chocolate! Europe offers the best of the best. I thought Cadbury is the creamiest and my favorite in the good ol' USA but when I went to Europe, I can’t make up my mind which one is the best. Once you open a box of raffaelo confectioner and ferrero, there is no stopping. You won’t want to share a giotto since one pack is not enough for you. How about Lindt? Ooh la la Nirvana.... just melts in your mouth. The Belgian truffles are sweet but so creamy so you will save the rest of the box next time. French truffles that come only before Christmas are so creamy but not sweet and melt in your mouth too! The Austrian Mozart chocolate comes with marzipan inside and lasts longer in your mouth. Merci offers variety of flavor so there is one for everybody. But if you want to taste different kinds, get the 7lander box of chocolate because it represents the 7 European countries (Belgium, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland and Austria). There are a lot more, so what I do if I still don’t know how it taste is to grab one, pay for it then come back for more if I like it. Sometimes, it looks so scrumptious but when you open it, hmm, might as well save it and offer it to someone else (not to waste it). Different people have different taste. My kids love kinder eggs, you know the one with a toy inside and Hanuta, it’s a wafer with hazelnuts and chocolate. In Germany, they have big store brand bars of chocolate that taste like Cadbury but very cheap, so they are good to bring home for presents. Enough of these, since now I’m craving for these chocolates. They’re expensive in the US and anywhere else so might as well bring a lot.
