It might be the most important holiday in the Christian calendar, but to most people no matter their age, Easter means one thing; Easter Eggs! I, for one, definitely have chocolate on the brain and so I scoured the globe and found 6 chocolatey eggscapes this Easter…
Chocolate Mountains, California
California isn’t all about surfers and movie stars; there is plenty more to enjoy and a trip to the Chocolate Mountains is an eggcellent Easter time example! You will find the mountains in the Colorado Desert, southern California, and while there isn’t any chocolate to eat, they are thought to contain up to 100 billion dollars in gold, which would buy you an awful lot of sweet treats! Drink in the beauty of the natural surroundings too with the Indian Pass and Little Picacho Wilderness Areas nearby.
Cadbury World, UK
Keep it close to home with a trip to Cadbury World in Birmingham! The factory of us Brits’ best loved chocolate brand is an ideal choice for sweet toothed travellers and is easy to reach for a day of indulgence. Fill your boots in the world’s largest Cadbury shop and learn all about the history of Cadbury’s.
Hershey’s Chocolate World, Pennsylvania
Hershey’s Chocolate World in Hershey, Pennsylvania is the ultimate playground for cocoa fiends and claims to be the sweetest place in the world. The town was actually renamed from Derry Church to Hershey in 1906 and has grown in the ultimate chocolate resort in the world, complete with a chocolate theme park, tours of the factory, the opportunity to create your own candy bar, chocolate tasting and plenty more. Why not visit the city of Philadelphia too!
Hotel Chocolat, Saint Lucia
You are probably familiar with this luxury chocolate brand and if you’re a fan, you will jump at the chance to visit their actual hotel and plantation; a luxurious retreat found on the stunning Caribbean island of Saint Lucia, surrounded by cocoa groves! Walk the cocoa trails, pamper yourself with rich, chocolate spa treatments and create your own chocolate, not to mention plenty of tasting and much more. This is a truly indulgent escape!
Cocoa Beach, Florida
What could beat a Florida beach named after cocoa plants? Well with golden sands, blue skies and plenty of sunshine, nestled on a barrier island an hour east of Orlando, not much! Enjoy the myriad of local attractions and indulge yourselves with a full on chocolate fest; taste the local wine which is blended with rich chocolate and go chocolate tasting at one of the many chocolate shops!
Chocolate Hills, Philippines
One of the world’s weirdest natural landscapes also happens to named after our favourite sweet treat and in the summer when the grass covered mounds turn brown, they look just like giant Hershey’s Kisses! You can find all 1,776 of them in the Philippines so why not pair your trip with a bit of sightseeing in this fascinating country!
If these places aren’t indulgent enough to satisfy your craving however, take a look at these alternative options for a heavenly chocolate filled holiday!
