There are few things I love more in this world than a visit to a chocolate factory. We are now back from Maine, but I’m still dreaming of the amazing truffles I consumed not long ago. We were lured in to Wilbur’s of Maine Chocolate Confections by signs for salt water taffy, but upon entering the store I saw about 100 things I’d choose over taffy (chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate).
I’m accustomed to walking into bakeries and candy stores with much anticipation, only to find that nothing is available for a dollar or less. Chocolate stores are usually the worst for this — truffles and other individual confections are often priced at a few dollars apiece. So imagine my delight when I saw this lovely plate of truffles priced at $0.50 each! The truffles were even quite a bit bigger than what I would normally expect. We chose a raspberry and a mudslide.
I was especially wowed by all the molded chocolates — the factory makes more than 200 varieties! Many of the items had a fun local flair. We got to sample the chocolate covered blueberries, and they were pure delight.
