The Dutch Maid Bakery, Tennessee's oldest bakery, makes a mean Chocolate-Jack Daniels Whiskey Cake. And a strong argument can be made that imbibing red wine and very dark chocolate can improve your heart's health.Patricia Wintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095600674659292509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201626175142808357.post-68084845243588995092013-02-18T16:37:28.909+01:002013-02-18T16:37:28.909+01:00Here in the southern United States we are partial ...Here in the southern United States we are partial to Bourbon infused chocolates.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365902603645004131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201626175142808357.post-19355497166083627312013-02-15T10:48:57.119+01:002013-02-15T10:48:57.119+01:00I'm not arguing that Italian chocolate is the ...I'm not arguing that Italian chocolate is the best, I'm just explaining why Italians say it's the best. Belgium was one of the countries that originally banned the British, Irish, and Danish chocolate made with veggie oil, so unless things have changed within the past ten years, I suspect that their finest chocolates contain cocoa butter.Patricia Wintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095600674659292509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7201626175142808357.post-62712920605178851052013-02-15T10:40:57.741+01:002013-02-15T10:40:57.741+01:00My favorite chocolate isn't Italian but Belgia...My favorite chocolate isn't Italian but Belgian.

"Italy Has Lost the Chocolate War" bemoaned one newspaper. "A Slap to Our Country" read another. A third merely said "Chocolate is Bitter for Italy."
