Ethel M. Chocolates - Mars Retail Group

Giving into my own fears. PASTRY. On yesterday I had the pleasure of touring the Ethel M. Chocolate Factory. I was guided through the factory by Pastry Chef Jin Caldwell. She is so awesome and so knowledgeable about chocolate. I felt like a little kid in a candy store. Funny, I really was in a candy store. She also assisted me with chocolate education for a chocolate team building event coming down the pipes. I tasted a few of the chocolate delights and that made me so happy. Of course I had white chocolate (my favorite) cheesecake truffle. Everyone there seemed so happy. The aroma of chocolate drifted in the air like a sweet cloud covering. I am still in"awe" at the work that a pastry chef can do with chocolate. So the next time you bite into the smooth, brown or white nugget of chocolate remember how much love went into making it. I'm Chef Bev, making life delicious one bite at a time. Even with chocolate...
