Within this audiobook lies the secret to the best-tasting chocolate in all the world. I promise, your taste buds will tingle. Your palette will sing! Oh no, have I accidentally tempted you to listen to this audiobook? I will warn you, however, the most delicious things are
never good for you...and this story is particularly scrumptious!
