Greatest of All Time - Fudge House's Plain Ole Chocolate Fudge


Fudge House

Pier 39, San Francisco

Fudge is another one of those items that can be hit or miss when you try it. I have always found The Fudge House in San Francisco to be terrific. I think that in order to keep up with the number of people that go through the Wharf, the fudge here can't help but always be fresh.

It's a short walk on a long pier, but well worth the trip.

[Side-note: While at Pier 39,
try a Nutella crepe at the Crepe Cafe! Of course, Trish's Mini Donuts and the wide variety of chocolates at Chocolate Heaven make The Pier a place well worth spending a long afternoon.

Greatest of All Time - La Mousse's Chocolate Windmill Cake

La Mousse's Chocolate Windmill Cake

About 20 years ago, I went to a birthday party for a friend in Miami. A cake was served which may have been the first gourmet cake I had ever really taken seriously. White and dark chocolate mousse cake with white and dark chocolate meringue mixed in. When I inquired where it was from, the hosts told me it had been flown in from Los Angeles.

I have rarely left LA without taking one home. Simply one of the best creations ever!

Greatest of All Time - Andre's Chocolate Meringue Ball


Andre’s Confiserie Suisse- Chocolate Meringue Ball
Houston, Denver, Kansas City
Snack/Dessert: This is another Hall of Fame concoction.


It is a ball of 2 meringue semi-circles held together with a layer of fudge, covered with milk or dark chocolate.
 

Tip: I love the milk chocolate the best but will eat the dark all day long if given the chance.
