Hello Chocolate Life,

I haven't participated in any forums before or done any blogging.

No time like the present I suppose.

Last week I managed to visit 2 chocolate shpos in Melbourne. One in Smith Street Collingwood and one in Collins St in the city.

On visiting a new chocolate shop I like to try the hot chocolate and the dark chocolate truffles. If these are above reasonable quality then it is worthwhile trying other products. If not then don't look back!

The hot chocoates were both very nice. The city one much more creamy and to my palate then the other. Unfortuantely I was in a hurry so was not able to try any of the truffles.

Given the quality of the hot chocolates the truffles will be worth a visit!

One of Melbourne's increasingly endearing qualities is the rising number and high standard of chocolate in the city.
