Diane Wagemann, owner of Divine Treasures, an organic belgium chocolate shop in Manchester will be joining us. "Manchester?" I hear you say, "That's hardly in SOUTHERN Connecticut." Well, when it comes to the motherload of vegan chocolates, nothing is too far! Diane's creations are out of this world and she has promised to bring samples. We've asked her to talk about opening her shop, vegan chocolate making, and... lets be honest, we want the samples :-) Here's a photo to get you hungry. Divine Treasures is at 404 Middle Turnpike West, in the Parkade Plaza in Manchester. You can reach them at (860) 643-2552. Her website is here.
