Last Tuesday, I attended a tasting event at the GODIVA store on Michigan Avenue in Chicago. So much fun. There, I was able to try the brand’s new products: the Trufflelata and Soft Serve. Both were incredible, but I have to say… I fell in love with the Soft Serve. ;) My favorite flavor? The “Swirl,” a mix of Dark Chocolate and White Chocolate Vanilla Bean.
Before teaming up with GODIVA, I’ll admit that I didn’t know the company’s stores carried more than boxes of (incredible) chocolates. Now, though, the GODIVA store on Michigan Avenue is my favorite place to stop for a fancy treat while exploring my new city. (I may have gone back for another cone two days after the tasting event, haha.) At $6 each, who can resist?! (Tip: Happy Hour takes place from 3 to 7 p.m. on weekdays. Buy one new product and get the second at 50 percent off.)
