Episode 6 Overview

As you might imagine, I get contacted regularly by chocolate makers, distributors, and their PR companies about tasting and reviewing their products. I created a #Reviews tag where all of the reviews I have done can be easily accessed.

In this episode, I will be talking about two brands I was sent samples of that I have not made the time to write individual reviews. (I have consumed every bite of both of them but I have my notes and I will be referring to them as I share my impressions of them.) Both of these companies are in the US.

PodSaveChocolate Commitments

In every episode of #PodSaveChocolate I ask my guests and all participants (participating live or after the fact) to identify something they will commit to – this day, next week, next month, and next year to save chocolate. I hold myself to this task.

My commitment for this episode is to continue to promote the importance of chocolatiers that I classify as “Hometown Favorites.” While I have one foot in the world of craft chocolate and the other in the world of industrial chocolate, Hometown Favorites remind us of the connections we have to chocolate that are – usually – forged in our childhoods. Learn more about Hometown Favorites during the time I talk about River Street Sweets.
