What you see here is a cup of “Turbo” and the Dark Chocolate<\/a> Crepe (filled with mascapone cheese, fresh strawberries & dark chocolate<\/a> truffle ganache. Served with more strawberries, fresh cream & chocolate drizzle) from Cafe Chocolate in Lititz<\/a>. I only wish I had more than my poor quality camera phone to capture it.<\/p>\n

WHAT AN EXPERIENCE. If church were like this place, well, we’d all go a lot more, and be heavier. Heavier, but probably happier too. Jolly. We’d be jolly.<\/p>\n

Their signature beverage is the Turbo<\/strong>. Made with West African %60 chocolate cocoa, frothed with organic milk, and infused with a shot of smooth Espresso. Image a rich, creamy, chocolaty goodness that sort of shoots you into euphoria, on a Japanese magnet propelled train.
\nPleasurable? Yes. Think of your best worship experience with God…and then add fudge.
\nOkay, don’t do that. I think I went over the line there, plus, it’s like comparing apples with oranges, or chocolate bars with communion wafers.<\/p>\n

It’s the kind of drink that can make you cry or sing (or in my case, both).<\/strong> Since God made chocolate, it was eventually a worship moment for me.
\nAnd thank goodness for smelling salts!<\/p>\n

Lititz, Pa is also the home of Wilbur Chocolate, a very superior confectioner, and the now famous yearly Chocolate Walk<\/a>. With Hershey Chocolate close by, this whole area of Lancaster County<\/a> is sort of a Mecca for chocolate lovers. Also Sturgis<\/a> pretzels is there in Lititz; and they boast America’s first commercial pretzel. You can make your own pretzel on their tour, and eat in fresh out of the oven.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh happy day! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n
