Need to find a perfect gift for a chocoholic but don’t want to send anything perishable? Look to the hardcover book For The Love Of Chocolate, written by Cherie Rayburn and published by Hallmark Books.
This delightful book is FULL of tales of chocolate’s history around the world, fun quotes, facts, recipes and tantalizing photographs! I was going to read it a little at a time, but I couldn’t stop reading once I started. I was completely fascinated with all the information in this book. Reading about how coveted chocolate was ages ago makes me grateful I can pick up a candy bar at a convenience store whenever I please! Every page has full-color pictures, so it will keep younger readers interested as well (though it has some advanced vocabulary).
This 6″x 6″ hardcover book is 96 pages and costs $9.95 at Hallmark shops (on the website it says 208 pages, which makes me wonder if there are different versions with MORE chocolate trivia!) or you can get it for a little more through Amazon.
