I looked at the store near my parents, and that store is sold out. How long are they supposed to be sold, because those sound yummy. If I see them when I’m there, I’ll might buy one package to stick in my suitcase.

At the Lindt store near me they have a chocolatier on site, making chocolaty goodnes. They have a three pack of dark chocolate covered marzipan-filled dates.

I can eat half of one of the chocolate-covered marzipan-filled dates.

And RitterSport is dangerous. They keep coming out with new flavors. If I see one of their licorice with milk chocolate, I might have to buy it.

If I buy one, I usually keep it in the fridge or freezer and break off pieces.

I can actually get these easier than RitterSport, oddly. And I just looked at the website for a store in Zurich, and now I want one of these. Dark chocolate, marzipan and orange? Where’s the swooning emoji?

When we went to Toledo I found out they also have their own version of marzipan, which is different than the one typically enrobed in chocolate.
