Hello, hello! How’s everyone doing this lovely Wednesday? Things here are okay. No wheelchair news until after the 15th. Dad’s planting stuff outside. I’ll try to remember to get pictures when he’s done. Otherwise, there’s nothing much to ramble about, so I thought I would give a little shoutout to Open Book Chocolates. I ordered some for a friend even though I knew they were backed up and it wouldn’t be there on her birthday. Surprisingly, they only a week or so late since I ordered them a bit early. I figured it would have been at least a few weeks late given their order load. Anyway, here’s a short kudos!

Open Book Chocolates creates handmade, bean to bar, fair trade chocolate bars with literary inspired flavors. What book lover doesn’t need bookish chocolate? When I saw Maggie Weber (the refashioned hippie) do an unboxing video, I knew they were the perfect gift. Granted, her video caused their sales to skyrocket, so I expected a ridiculous wait time, but it wasn’t bad at all. From order to delivery, it was 3 weeks. So, I was pleasantly surprised by that. Plus, all I asked to be included was a gift receipt if possible, but they also sent a little “from” card and they gift wrapped the bars! It was such a nice thing to do. A small touch that only a small business would do.

I don’t know how the chocolate tastes, but the service is definitely 5 stars. My friend tried the Doctor Watson (Earl Grey and honey in milk chocolate) and said the flavor notes come through in just the right amount. Very tasty! There is also a pamphlet that explains each flavor choice in relation to the books/characters. So neat! The picture above is just a few of their flavors. I do plan on getting a couple for myself soon (maybe next month).
