Upstate New York Chocolate Shop Nominated as ‘Best’ in the Nation

A popular Upstate New York chocolate shop has been nominated as one of the 10 Best Chocolate Shops in the U.S.

We can all agree that when we aren't having the best day, there are a few things that we can do, or more importantly, eat to turn a bad day around. Some folks like to grab an ice cream cone, a cookie, or cake from their favorite bakery, but honestly, I think there is only one food item that can turn any day, good or bad, into a great one.
