Chocolate 24/7

We’re not sure when the addiction started. And while we know the first step to breaking the addiction is admitting we have one (we do, we do), we’re not really sure we want to.

We’re talking about chocolate and it’s definitely not going out of our lives anytime soon, and that’s why we’re excited about our latest online find.

Inspired by an article she read on Fair Trade chocolate, Tracy Edelist, mother of two daughters, founded A Taste For Chocolate in 2006, bringing together her entrepreneurial spirit and her longtime addiction to the darkest delight. Tracy now focuses on bringing the pleasure of high quality chocolates to chocolate-lovers with her popular tasting events (a great idea for a moms’ group get-together, if you’re in the Toronto area). She knows which chocolate makers around the world make the best chocolate, and she only chooses products made with the best natural ingredients (no artificial flavours for her).

With Valentine’s Day approaching, you should visit her online store where she ships her delectable finds to chocolate-lovers across Canada. If you know what you like, you can shop by type of chocolate, brand or cacao origin. There’s even a clearance section!

Looking for a Valentine’s Day gift? For the ‘not so savvy’ chocolate taster, try the Chocolate Tasting Boxes ($37.95–63.95) which come with a pamphlet about how chocolate is made and how to “taste” chocolate, as well as tasting notes for each of the five varieties. Another great introduction to chocolate tasting is the Michel Cluizel’s Once Upon a Bean package ($56.95). For more experienced fine chocolate tasters, Tracy recommends one of the Valentine Gift Boxes ($65.95) filled with a selection of six dark and milk chocolate bars from some of the world’s best chocolatiers—not for sharing with the kids!

And with that, we leave you with two things we know to be true: while man cannot live on chocolate alone, woman sure can, and the only thing better than chocolate is chocolate online (which means chocolate all the time)!

P.S. You just might just want to send this to someone who is wondering what to get you this year.
