Calling all chocolate lovers

My name is AbbyG and I'm a choc-a-holic! While I prefer dark chocolate, I'll settle for milk chocolate in a pinch.
There is a big discount store of a well known candy company about 25 minutes from here...Russel Stover. But even though you can get a good deal there, it's pretty much just basic chocolates.
I have several candy stores on my short list - stores I found on vacation in Beaufort, SC and other locations and one I discovered from a friend online. I'll tell you about the one I found online. It is called....See's Candies and to me it's far better than Godiva and not as costly.
They are located in Long Beach,California and I believe they have brick and motor stores in parts of that state. Since I'm a little far from CA I buy online.
They have all the basics but what I like is that I can customize a box of candy.
* First I pick the size box - 1 pound.
* Then I choose dark chocolate without nuts.
* Then I get to pick which candies I want in that one pound. I always get a few Lemon Truffles, Dark Chocolate Butter, Raspberry Creme and Dark Patties.
If you are a chocolate lover and have not tried See's Candies. Look them up online but be careful not to drool on your keyboard!

@AbbyGreenhill I love dark chocolate so it's not a sacrifice for me to indulge in a piece a day for health benefits

I do enjoy chocolate very much. I have a hard time eating it now though because my teeth aren't good. =(

Oh why did you have to post this now? Haha. I am so hungry right now, I am just waiting for it to hit the lunch hour and then I am off to chow down. I have grown to like chocolate, I just despise chocolate cake.

Really, you don't like chocolate cake? I love chocolate but I won't eat fudge or pudding.

Good for me - glad to have been of service - I am sure they will enjoy them. If they can't eat nuts make sure to get the creme kind.

Chocolate is a triggers for migraines. Also not the best for people prone to kidney stones.

That's cool! Being able to customize your own box of chocolates! The hardest part for me would be trying to figure out where to begin.

I love the assorted box with nuts in them. Last year I got several coupons in the mail to get free boxes. I got one box for each one of my kids that live by me. I got a box for me and my husband to. Last week I got frozen pizza coupons for free pizzas in the mail. I gave them to my grandson.
