Creative Chocolates Galore
AddThis Social Bookmark Button


My girls and I had a few moments before meeting some friends for a movie and we thought we would check out this place next door called Moonstruck Cafe. We walked into a chocolate wonderland!

The girls and I were in awe of all the totally beautiful and creative chocolates. When we got home I did some digging and found out more about the Moonstruck Chocolate Co.

* They are based in Portland Oregon
* Moonstruck Chocolate was included in the celebrity presenters and performers gift basket at both the 77th and 78th Annual Academy Awards.
* They took first place in a San Francisco Chronicle chocolate taste test

'Nuf said!

I did some sampling (it's a tough job but somebody has to do it) and this what I decided:

* For the Moonstruck Chocolate Company, the "C" in chocolate stands for Creativity! I'm talking truffles shaped like cats (Toffee Cat) and a mouse (Mocha Mouse) and dogs (Chocolate Lab).
*Moonstruck takes "gift" chocolate to a whole new level. The chocolates are truly works of art...for the eyes and taste buds!
* I now want to keep checking their website and catalogues just to see what they will create next!

There is absolutely nothing like good chocolate! I went to an inspirational talk by a woman who set up her own chocolate company 4 years ago. She found that most chocolate was really quite unpleasant and as a result has created what I think must be the best chocolate I have ever eaten. It is made from locally sourced products and ethically sourced chocolate beans. The shelf life is 2 weeks as they have NO preservatives. Visit www.chococo.co.uk for a tatse of heaven!

I took a look at the website for the chocolate company anonymous mentioned in the United Kingdom. I've asked for some info from them including shipping to U.S. so I'll blog about it when I hear back.

Thanks for the tip!
