What the hell is that? The "Countries of Origin Chocolate Tasting," one of the various chocolate experiences offered at The Hershey Story museum, features six small samples of warm, liquid drinking chocolate from around the world that guests can taste and compare (without hairnets). Held at a table in Café Amusee, a small eatery located inside the museum, the experience was similar to a beer flight, but more sweet and decadent.
Why did I eat this? Our family obviously loves sweets of all kinds, but Carl is especially fond of dark, exotic chocolate. The tasting, which included everything from fruity African chocolate flavors to Indonesian chocolate with caramel overtones, offered a fun and delicious way to compare different, unusual chocolates, and apply some of the knowledge we gained during our workshop in the Chocolate Lab. Our only complaint about the tasting was that the sample glasses were too small (in retrospect, that was probably for the best) and severely tested our sharing skills.
All of the fabulous chocolate experiences at The Hershey Story museum; the comfy, fun ccommodations at the Hershey Lodge; and our exciting visit at Hersheypark have combined to make this family trip to Hershey, PA one of our all-time favorites--Milton S. Hershey's town and chocolate do not disappoint!
