My boyfriend earned major brownie points by taking me to Ethel M's during our Valentine's Vegas stay. Yes, I can be bought...by chocolate. It's a small factory, so don't expect anything too grand. There is a short walkway in the factory to check out the chocolate making action with the bonus of a free sample at the end of the path. Make sure to go on a weekday if you want to see someone make chocolate. Ethel M's is open on the weekends, but the factory is not operating.
While at Ethel M's we filled a a small heart box full of our personal chocolate selections. It was almost as fun picking out all the chocolate we wanted as it was eating it all. Wait...I take that back. It was more fun eating it ;) The chocolate, sadly, did not last long. We made quick work of those tasty morsels seeking refuge in their heart-shaped home. Poor lil' guys didn't stand a chance.
Ethel M's also has an enchanting little cactus garden. I'm a sucker for a good cactus garden. They even had Valentine's decorations among the cacti, which was cheesy and super cute :) Included in the Valentine's Day festivities was the helpless gazebo, which made a nice place to sit and eat our chocolate. I left Ethel M's a happy, chocolate-filled camper.
