Reward yourself! Here are the best chocolates in New Jersey
I, like most people, am a huge fan of chocolate. As far as I'm concerned, the world would be a better place if it were only covered with chocolate. We're pretty much at the point now where we're covering everything with chocolate anyway.
Did you ever think you'd eat chocolate-covered bacon? You've got to try it, especially when it comes from David Bradley's. How about chocolate-covered pork roll? For that, you'd have to go to Van Holton's in Seaside Heights.
No matter what we like covered in chocolate, or even chocolate by itself, New Jersey has a chocolatier for you. What a noble profession chocolatier is. Every day you go to work, you know that you're going to make someone happy, put a smile on their face, and maybe ease their pain a little bit; both mentally and physically.
Chocolate can be an inexpensive reward you give yourself or a loved one. Chocolate is a great way to say "I Love You". If you like it with bacon, it goes even better with flowers.
So armed with that knowledge and a craving for chocolate, I asked my following "Where are the best chocolates in New Jersey?'
