As I wrote, the “About” section of my blog, I enjoy adding to my chocolate label (or wrapper) collection when I travel. More importantly, however, I enjoy tasting each an every one!
The last time I updated my tally here was in 2023, so it’s time to do it again. My collection includes chocolates from 46 of the 72 countries I have visited to date. Unfortunately, the other countries I traveled to either didn’t produce their own chocolate or I wasn’t able to locate any.
In my tally, there are countries listed that are not in all caps. These are countries I have not visited; however, friends and family have and were nice enough to bring home some chocolate for me!
