You know that episode of I Love Lucy where she’s sticking all the chocolates in her mouth? Well, that’s pretty much how you’ll feel when you walk into Emile’s. They even have the classic picture of Lucy at the chocolate factory blown up on the wall. This place has chocolate covered Oreos, chocolate covered Peeps and their chocolate covered homemade marshmallows–all which could one day be responsible for world peace.

“Taste of Home”? Seriously? They’re an unexceptional bakery, not a chocolatier.
That Azure Chocolate and Choco’laj aren’t in this list… I don’t know what to say.
Taste of Home is filthy. Went there for a possible wedding cake, it was dirty, bugs flying around in the candy area, baked goods were nothing to write home about, and owner looked disheveled.
