i love ghirardelli chocolate. i actually have a bag of the stuff sitting on my desk right now. there’s always godiva. i like their truffles.

i think, if you wanted to do something a little more personal, the reese’s would be a cute idea, especially if those are mr. violet’s favorites. there are plenty of ways to dress them up a bit. if you can get personalized wrappers for hershey’s bars, there’s got to be a way to personalize other candy. i’d love to give out chocolate as favors or even have a chocolate fountain but my bf gets sick if he eats chocolate [especially the rich and dark ones, which are the best]. he sucks. haha

I love the idea of reese’s! We’re looking into chocolate favors, and were going to go Sees-style, but then he told me his sister used the exact same favors for her wedding- the flavor and all! That got nixed. My friend sent me to a neat page for my autumn themed wedding, fall-colored foil wrapped chocolate leaves and acorns, couldn’t be easier than that!

You could always do the traditional hershey kisses/hugs (silver or gold), peppermint patties, mini candy bars (krackle, semi-sweet, mr.goodbar)…

Apple cookies has really, really good chocolate, without any wax in it (did you know that most chocolate is made with wax? Ew.). Their website doesn’t show any of their wedding work, but they do wedding chocolates, they can do custom shapes and custom packaging; you have to call for details. A friend recently had their stuff at her wedding and it was SOOO GOOD! They can do custom cookies favors too, I think.

I’m a self-proclaimed chocolate snob and I usually prefer European chocolates to American ones, but I found Gail Ambrosius (in Madison, WI!) and her chocolates are literally to die for… infinitely better than Godiva. She did my favors and guests are still raving about them and ordering more off her site.

Ooh, I’d forgotten about Choxie!
