One of my most favorite stops to make when we're back in Vegas is to the Ethel M Chocolate Factory! Yes, this is their home, and if you are willing to rent a car to go away from the strip a bit you'll be glad you did! I admit, I had never heard of them until about ten years ago. My wife living in Vegas had always talked about Ethel M on the West Coast being so popular. It is, by far, some of the best you'll ever eat! The tour, which is free, will only take you about a half hour and it comes with a small sample at the end! You then are exited out into their store where you'll find all sorts of upscale chocolate delights! Their most famous for their Pecan Brittle. It is absolutely delectable and not a hard crunchy version that you may be accustomed to from others! My personal favorite is their Liquor Chocolates! Chocolate bite sized barrels filled with your choice of bourbon, rum, Irish Creme, and amaretto! They are nice and strong, unlike anything you've ever had! There is a beautiful cactus garden in the front with a nice walking trail throughout. Nice way to learn about the different cactus native to the area. Tip-If you are flying home, go the day before your flight and they'll even give you dry ice packs for your purchases!
