There is no reason Baltimore can't have chocolate tours. We have old-fashioned candymakers that are part of our history (Rheb's, Wockenfuss) and we have artisan chocolatiers (Kirchmayr, Glarus, Cacoa Lorenzo). Hey, you could even start with a stop at Harborplace's Fudgery, where the happy fudge makers sing as they work. ...
Of course, you'd need a bus if you were running the tour as a business, because some of the best are in the burbs.
Normally I would spend an hour making up a list of stops, their order and what each place offers as its specialty. This would be for a self-guided tour that you and your friends or family could take as a holiday outing. Because you probably haven't eaten enough bad-for-you food yet this season.
However, I'm on vacation. So what I hope you will do, boys and girls, is make up the list for me. If you're feeling energetic, you can do the whole list in the proper order and what you recommend at each one. Or, more likely, you can just mention your favorite chocolate shop and what you think is best to sample there.
Hey, I might even get a Top 10 out of it.
