		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re looking for inspiration for the upcoming gift-giving season, look no further than McCormick .  Their Flavor Forecast ™ trend report is out with the latest on what&#8217;s hot.  This year&#8217;s flavor of choice?  Red food coloring.
Seriously, someone got paid to write a report that included &#8220;Vanilla &#38; Red Food Color&#8221; as an exciting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lake Champlain recently added a fifth entry in their Five Star Bar line.  This is the first new 5 Star in years, and presumably something they&#8217;ve been working intensively on (in Steve Almond&#8217;s Candyfreak there is discussion of a fifth bar).  I had assumed that when the new Five Star came out it would be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh Hershey.  What the hell is wrong with you?  You strike a deal with Barry Callebaut so that you don&#8217;t have to bother making chocolate any more.  You move your candy production to Mexico.  You buy two small artisan companies, then shut down their factories and lay off their staff. You can&#8217;t keep a Sharffen [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So apparently Hershey released a limited edition dark chocolate Reese&#8217;s peanut butter cup when Dark Knight came out.  I guess I was too busy watching Dark Knight to notice.  Lucky for me, they&#8217;re making it a full time addition to the Reese&#8217;s lineup.  
Like most people who buy Hershey products I have some kind of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At Easter, the giant Kinder eggs come out.  A Kinder egg is a wonderful thing: small, surprisingly intricate toy inside, strange bendy chocolate outside.  It stand to reason, then, that a giant kinder egg would be much more awesome.  Actually, the toy quality doesn&#8217;t improve, it&#8217;s just a bigger toy.  And lots of bendy chocolate.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, we all knew it was coming, right?  Hershey has demonstrated how much the Scharffen Berger name means to them: they&#8217;re closing the Berkeley plant and moving all Scharffen Berger operations to Illinois.
Hershey&#8217;s role in the &#8220;Artisan Confections Co.&#8221; (Scharffen Berger, Joseph Schmidt, Dagoba) has been low key since the big buy outs.  I watched [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When the subject is raised, it is often pointed out that the chocolate available in Europe, the British Isles, etc. is superior to ours in the States.  Where fine chocolate is concerned this is certainly not the case.  Where pedestrian, everyday, convenience-store chocolate is concerned, however, they have us whipped.  As evidence, I give you [...]]]></description>
