"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get". Just like Forrest Gump, I was able to try my own box of chocolates this summer. When thinking of mouth watering chocolate most people think of Godiva in Belgium or Swedish milk chocolate. Personally, they are a little over rated because after this summer I was able to taste "Et lite stykke Norge" (A small piece of Norway). The sjokolade in Norway is to die for. Every time I was in a gas station or convenience store there was no denying the extra calories that I was about to inhale. You could choose between bars, rolls, or even the sweet perfection around your ice cream. I usually went for the rolls because they were small pieces that you could just pop in and go on about your day. They also had a hazelnut flavor and a bar that tasted just like a Kit Kat but the chocolate around the crunch was about ten times more gratifying. Everyone in Norway is obsessed with chocolate. As the saying goes, "Money can't buy happiness but, it can buy chocolate and that's the same thing". If it isn't because of their welfare state, perfect weather, or beautiful people then, I think their secret to a happy livelihood is within the depths of the Freia Factory in Oslo, Norway.
