I didn't know you had that chocolates and pralines website... I went there
and was impressed. I realize you may need to do further research though
:-) so I thought I would recommend Ethel M's chocolates. The chocolate
itself is very good, but they excel with their fillings. The fruit filled
have real fruit and not just flavoring, the alcohol ones are real, the
creams are great flavors not just sweet. There is more information at
http://www.ethelm.com and if you are visiting Las Vagas definitly take the
tour. I really enjoyed it much more than the tour I took of the Hershey
factory in Oakdale, California.

Although allegedly harmless to eat, I believe it [wax coating]
gives the chocolate a kind
of "waxy" taste & texture, which gets in the way of
the total chocolate
experience (for me). Ethel M chocolates (out of Las
Vegas NV, of all
places!) is also pretty good but still uses a bit of
the wax. Ethel M is
famous for Liqueur fillings--some are better than
others, but definitely
worth a try. Can't get them everywhere & some
states have outlawed them, so
the next time you are in Nevada....

I took the tour of the Ethel M. Chocolates factory. The tour itself leaves
a bit to be desired. It is a self-guided tour, and the day I went, none of
the equipment was running, so I did not get to see the wonder of chocolate
making. But there is a free sample at the end, which I used to taste one
of their liquor chocolates (btw, you cannot get these if you are under
21). I chose the coffee liquor chocolate. The taste of liquor is VERY
strong, it overpowers the taste of the chocolate. I also purchased some
other chocolates, my favorite was the chocolate and nut covered toffee.
Highly recommended. Off the topic of chocolate, another nice feature of
going to the factory is the outdoor botanical garden tour, which was very
interesting (desert plants, since the factory is in Las Vegas). I would
recommend the trip to the factory and the tasty chocolates.
