What Is a Chocolate Walk
For those of you who haven’t heard of a chocolate walk, the idea is simple. You purchase a ticket, receive a map at check in, and then walk from business to business collecting chocolate treats along the way. Every stop is a chance to explore local shops, meet business owners, and of course grab a chocolate. It’s one part foodie adventure, one part shopping trip. It would also make a great date night idea.
