Dunkin’ Donuts versus Krispy Kreme?

So I ran across an article in Yahoo News today entitled Dunkin’ Donuts raids Krispy Kreme turf. It basically talks about Dunkin’ Donuts, with it’s emphasis in the Northeast, beginning to expand into the South and Southeast where Krispy Creme is king.

The article compares the two donuts like this: “Dunkin’ Brands Inc. is invading [...]

Now here’s a great Flickr photo from a recent visitor to Koko Black in Melbourne, Australia. I visited their website, an all flash-based chocolate treat with links to their history, products and menu. I found [...]

Chocoholics Night – Chocolate Tasting Event

Would you pay $15 to be a guest at a tasting event to eat as much chocolate as you can handle? With 50 different varieties on display for the taking?

(A diet and fitness business which has 10,000 locations nationwide) Perhaps he, better than most, knows the power of chocolate.

Findley [...]

Listen to the most romantic music, watch it like a child’s fantasy that turns into reality, smell it like the rarest of perfumes, dip your fingers into it and lick it slowly and passionately. Make love to it. Enjoy to the Max.” Reads the back half of [...]

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Seed Cookies?

The Oregonian reports that the Red Fox Bakery in McMinnville, Oregon produces whopping chocolate studded pumpkin seed cookies under the rationale that the pumpkin seeds are wholesome and nutritious. But with nearly each cookie containing an ounce of Bernard Callebaut bittersweet chocolate, this cookie loses its status as health food. The pumpkin seeds are actually [...]
