Fazer Chocolates

Vicky received a box of Geisha chocolates from a friend and we certainly had a great time consuming the hazelnut-filled candy.  We learned that this was made by Fazer Chocolates which is based in Helsinki.  I had only vaguely heard of this chocolate manufacturer before, and from reading the box label, I learned that the company started off as a French-Russion pastry shop in Kluuvikatu in 1891.  This is quite interesting, as I have always pictured Finland as the land of Nokia phones, but for chocolates, Switzerland and Belgium come to mind.  I like the Geisha's light texture and not-so-sweet filling, just right for after dinner sweets!  I'm a true chocoholic!
