So we went to a PR event at See’s Candies last night. Yeah, everything about that sentence just makes you feel soooo sorry for us, doesn’t it? ;) I’m telling you right now, it was one of my favourite things that we’ve ever done. I guess I just really really like chocolate? But really. We met the regional and district managers and learned some cool See’s history (like, did you know that the chocolate factory episode of “I Love Lucy”- a.k.a. one of the best episodes ever- was filmed in the actual See’s factory in San Francisco? And also, did you know that they hand pack every single box of chocolate? I like them even more now) and we ate a lot of chocolate. I mean, twist my arm why don’t you. We also got to don some hairnets and participate in a chocolate boxing competition. We came home with so much chocolate, and Lollypops, and peanut brittle (!!!) and I am one happy camper, let me tell you.
Moral of the story? Get thee to a See’s. You will not regret it. Also, wear black and white while you’re at it! It’s really fun to blend in with the décor. ;)
Have you ever had See’s Candies?
What’s your favourite chocolate? Mine is Scotchmallow. The dark chocolate, marshmallow (which is actually a honey marshmallow, who knew?!) and caramel, oh my. Best combination in the world.

This was not sponsored in any way by See’s, I promise.
Oh bummer! I wish I would have gone. A hair apt. won over candy. Looks like it was delicious and fun!
Awww haha at least you have fab hair now! ;) I’ll share my chocolate!

Ah! This sounds like so much fun!!! It has made my mouth water and now I’m cravin me some serious chocolate (only See’s Candy is serious chocolate). I love all their coffee ones, and last winter, I tried a blueberry one, ugh to die for!!
Agreed. See’s chocolate is the MOST serious chocolate. I had a strawberry one last night and ohhh my word. SO good!
xo
OMG!! I love See’s!! They have the best chocolate but my absolute favorite is the caramel lollipops and the soft mints!! They are so yummy I haven’t had them in years!!! I had a stepfather from San Fran and his family would always send us tons for Christmas!!
Yesss we got a whole box of the lollypops! They are soooo good! My mom would bring us home some every once in a while. So fun.

They need to have one of those here. I’ve never even heard of it until you posted it here. I saw your post on instagram last night and was jealous. Not going to lie, I was actually really jealous. I love chocolate. I’ll make sure to go inside one of these stores one day :) I’ll totally wear black and white too, why not! haha.
oh girl, you and me both. Die hard chocoholics!!! They have lots of stores, but mostly in california. They’re opening some in PA and OH though! It’s worth a look. They’re the bettt!

i had this vision in my mind of the two of you in that I Love Lucy episode as i read this hehe.
Haha yeah, I am right there with you. All chocolate is a-okay with me! ;) And we tooootally felt like we were in that I Love Lucy episode! It was so fun!

I will have to stop by during my next visit to California. Hopefully some time early next year. My best friend’s baby is due in December! They live in the L.A. area. I love “I Love Lucy” and definitely remember that episode. So cool that they actually filmed there!
Awww YAY baby!! So exciting! :) And I totally felt like Lucy when we had the hairnets and were boxing the chocolates! So funny!
xo
Scotchmallows are the best!! Looks like fun!
Yessss I am addicted to them!

candayyyyyyyy. I am actually not a huge fan of chocolate and candy. I mean I like it but I prefer spicy/salty food better. Does See’s have a website?
P.S. Your future children are going to be really gosh darn adorable.
Awww Katie, I just saw this comment!! :) It made me smile so much! You’re sweet. And here’s the See’s website: http://www.sees.com/
