Candy store treat

Have you ever been to Schakolad? It's a quaint little chocolate store at 172 Bedford Street. Yesterday, they celebrated their 5th anniversary here in Stamford. They were offering up a glorious day of chocolate, fun, discounts and prizes to help them celebrate. And being the party girl that I am, I ventured over there after work with some of my colleagues to join in on the fun. As we arrived, a huge three-tiered flowing chocolate fountain greeted us, along with chocolate-dipped champagne glasses, and mouth-watering fresh truffles. I couldn't resist plunging a nearby pretzel stick right through the flowing chocolate. Yum, yum, yum. It was so delicious. This was my first "fountain" experience; I've always thought that having a chocolate fountain would be tons of fun. And yes, it was. I lingered over it for a few more goodies.

But I truly came with a purpose; finding a dark chocolate treat for my hubby. I was celebrating my own anniversary today, and was hoping to put a smile on my "better half" with a unique chocolate lollipop treat. (I found a chocolate race car--how cute!)
It was a glorious day of chocolate, fun, and discounts and prizes. For a quick moment, I felt like a kid in a candy store.
