Well not very long apparently! My sweet honey gave me the most delicious box of chocolates from Phillips Candy House of Boston for Valentines day and yes they're already gone...is that bad? They are hand made, hand picked and were REALLY good and coming from 'The Chocolate Lady' that's saying something, I know I can be a chocolate snob, but quite frankly if you're going to be consuming the calories it's got to be a certain caliber of yummyness! So if you ever want to buy some of these yummy chocs check them out on the web at bostonchocolate.com
