Chocolatiers of the World


Follower Friday is a Meme I decided to create to elaborate on the Twitter tradition of #ff to recognize one of my wonderful Social Network followers every Friday! If you would like to participate in Follower Friday just snag the button from my sidebar and make sure to link it to En Chocolat!

This week for Follower Friday I am spotlighting @Wolfgangcandy!

For today’s follower Friday I am picking Wolfgang Candy from Wolfgangcandy.com. I always love discovering chocolate companies that I have never tried before and Wolfgang Candy is one of those few chocolatiers I have not yet had the pleasure of running across. I picked Wolfgang Candy today not only to share their company with you but to also do a little browsing myself! Wolfgang Candy was founded in 1921 and is one of the oldest family owned and managed candy companies in the United States! I can’t believe I haven’t run in to them before but it’s certainly never too late to discover new things in the realm of chocolate!

What do I love about Wolfgang Candy? Well primarily I LOVE family owned businesses, there is something more personal to a company that is family owned and that personal touch always rubs off on the final chocolate product. I also love that Wolfgang Candy has been creating candies for fundraising events of all sizes for four generations! I also love that Wolfgang Candy offers factory tours! If you have never had the opportunity to visit a chocolate factory and take a tour I highly recommend it, particularly if you are a chocolate lover.  There is nothing more magical than seeing where your favorite confections are created! Lastly, albeit most importantly there is the chocolate! While I have never tasted Wolfgang candy I can tell you that the sheer selection of chocolate confections is enough to drive me crazy. From chocolate dipped fruit to chocolate covered cookies to their chocolate buffet there isn’t a chocolate choice in their sweet shoppe that wouldn’t drive any chocoholic absolutely insane! Some of my favorite picks from their huge selection are the chocolate Berry Basket Stack, the Jungle Jacks, the Raisin Clusters and the Dark Chocolate Assortment for gift giving!

If you are on the lookout for some new chocolate confections you are most definitely going to be joyously overwhelmed with the sheer variety that Wolfgang Candy offers in the online store. Drop on by and take a look around or if you’re not in the chocolate buying mood why not just go and introduce yourself on Twitter!

This week for Follower Friday I am spotlighting @ZachTownsend!

For today’s follower Friday I am picking Zach Townsend from PureChocolateDessertsByZach.com in Dallas, Texas! I picked Zach from all of my followers on this Follower Friday because I wanted to pick someone different, someone I had never heard of before and someone who took chocolate to another level and Zach is all of these things. Zach, as if his domain name didn’t tell it all, makes pure chocolate desserts. Zach makes the kind of desserts that you wish you could make, the kind of desserts you order at a restaurant even when you’re about to burst from over eating because you just can’t resist. Go ahead, take a look at his site, I’ll wait.

What do I love about Zach Townsend and PureChocolateDessertsByZach.com? Well first and foremost the chocolate dessert gallery is obviously my favorite place to while away a little time out of my day, imagining what many of those delicious chocolate dishes taste like! The Tart Maison is my very favorite of all of Zach’s chocolate treats because it has such a delicate chocolate sheen that oozes rich decadence. I also particularly love that Zach offers his desserts up for purchase…come on who are we kidding, we might be chocoholics but I’m willing to bet that very few of us can actually create desserts like these on our own! Zach even offers some of his delicious chocolate creations up for shipment! I adore each and every one of Zach’s creations and while I have never tasted them if they taste even half as good as they look then I would be in absolute heaven!

If you are looking for a decadent chocolate dessert for your upcoming special occasion whether it’s around Dallas, Texas or not then you have to check out Zach’s website at PureChocolateDessertsByZach.com. If you’re not in the market for a chocolate dessert (really? you’re not looking for delicious chocolate indulgence? Really?) then just drop by on Twitter and say hello anyway! Everyone could use a little more chocolate in their lives!
