Recently, it was that time of year where overindulging was yet again expected, that is if you happened to be the polite and dutiful guest at holiday soirees big and small. For me, I was the not-so-polite yet dutiful follower of a pre-new year cleanse, so when a friend brought me along to a party, I had no idea that once I stepped up to the bar- for a sparkling water with lemon- there would be slabs of fudge staring at me…and I stared back.
As I really love my sugar, I couldn’t look away- spellbound by all that chocolate. Suddenly I was negotiating with myself that a small hit of this wouldn’t ruin my sugar and gluten free glow. Yes, it was no surprise how amazing it tasted, but the real surprise was discovering that the host of the party, John Kelly, was the namesake of John Kelly Chocolates whose fudge was laid out in front of me. And so as I stood in his kitchen, I finally had the opportunity to have a proper sampling and of course, as I would never be that rude guest, I temporarily ditched my cleanse.
Manufactured locally in Los Angeles, these savory sweets are handmade with all natural and high-quality ingredients. This chocoholic’s fix makes the perfect gift not only for holidays, but any other occasion that warrants a sugar rush in beautiful packaging. Now available at their two retail stores, in Hollywood and Santa Monica, as well as high-end department stores and online, it’s easy to get your fudge on. www.johnkellychocolates.com
