One or two chocolates usually satisfies your craving.Debra Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04553596042707601518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286641315310259749.post-46823424683513169732018-12-25T12:19:00.382-05:002018-12-25T12:19:00.382-05:00Dearest Debbie,

We had a special card that allowed us to buy their products at low rate at the company store in N.J. Which we did of course, in 2007 with my sister and her significant other, we stashed those bags of dark raspberry chocolate (my favorite!) in our cool box! I've frozen them often for keeping them on hand year round. BUT in December of 2007 they sold Godiva to a Turkish company... You can read here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Godiva_Chocolatier&redirect=no<br />So no more indulging in those naked, unwrapped chocolates we got for a steal. The wrapped and boxed ones are prized over the top! I'd rather make my own chocolates instead.<br />During our years of International Consulting together, when we did get an upgrade on KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, they too offered a Godiva Chocolate on a tray, as after dinner treat with coffee.<br />My favorite is the dark variety, always has been. Like my Dad, he too preferred dark. Most love the sweeter milk but that is containing more sugar and less cocoa!<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286641315310259749.post-10609442415548101032018-12-18T10:46:32.672-05:002018-12-18T10:46:32.672-05:00They are so delicious!
