What’s that, you didn’t know?Apparently, neither did the other 6 billion people on the planet. It appears the Oompa Loompas at the National Confectioners Association are insiduously slipping sugar-coated holidays into International Calendars in hopes of sparking a worldwide candy revolution. I can hear their little proletariat voices chanting in some underground cavern of a seemingly innocent candy factory, “VIVA LA DOLCE!!! VIVA LA DOLCE!!! VIVA LA DOLCE!!!“ This year alone; the Oompas have managed to slip these highly addictive dates into the past six weeks: National Chocolate Covered Cherry Day - Jan, 3rdNational English Toffee Day - Jan, 8thNational Peanut Brittle Day -Jan, 26thNational Gum Drop Day - Feb, 15th And its only February!

SFist.com, part of the -Ist network that includes LAist.com, posted the first review of TasteTV's new publication, THE CHOCOLATE GUIDE, WESTERN EDITION (2008)"I didn't know there are so many chocolate places," our husband said as we collectively eyed The Chocolate Guide Western Edition, billed by some as "chocolate porn". Learning can be sooo much fun. This guide easily earns a spot on our lifestyle and travel bookshelves because it covers chocolate based info that Lonely Planet, Zagat, Rick Steves, and other guides miss. The guide's mission is to promote something called a "chocolate lifestyle" which seems to be the consumption of chocolate, and chocolate making accessories. Perhaps the folks making the chocolate -- such as Charles Chocolates, Michael Recchiuti, Joseph Schmidt, Fleur de Cocoa, Wine Country Chocolates and The TeaRoom, are champions of the chocolate lifestyle? The drool worthy suh-weet pics and tidbits make this $15.95 guidebook a treat. " Mary Ladd, SFist.comOTHER CHOCOLATE NEWSThis TasteTV Celebrity Chefs Update comes...
