THE CHOCOLATE MUSEUM it is a shop full of testers and tasters plus a mini museum. Mom and I went and we were there for two hours. We tasted hot chocolate, chocolate ice tea, chocolate tea, chocolate coffee and of course lots chocolate! I tried to take some chocolate home for Rico but it half malted and got too tempting, so I ate it (shhh don’t tell Rico!!). The next day we went back to the chocolate museum after our walking tour, this time dad and Rico came too. Again, we tried more tasters; I thought that the chocolate face cream was food so I ate it- it was disgusting!!!! Rico and I signed up to do the chocolate tour where we would learn about the process of making chocolate from the bean and then get to create our own flavored chocolates.
