Initially excited when I saw scores of cars and a few tour buses in the parking lot, my enthusiasm for Ethel M Chocolates quickly waned as I spent more time here.
Started at the cactus garden, which was underwhelming. Nothing very special.
We proceeded to the chocolate factory, and the "self guided tour" was a 30 foot procession down a hall with a history of chocolate and the evolution of Ethel M Chocolates. To our left was part of the factory, and there was very little going on behind the glass. At the end of the hall was a cute little white haired woman who handed out one morsel of chocolate per guest. It was good, but nothing special. From there, an overpriced chocolate boutique.
30 minutes of my life I will never get back
