Pam Williams, founder of <a title=\"Ecole Chocolat\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ecolechocolat.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ecole Chocolat<\/a>, an online professional chocolate-making school, has created the Find Chocolate! App, which does exactly what it says.<\/p>\n<p>Based on your current location, the free app shows you a list (at least if you\u2019re in a chocolate-rich location like SFBA) of nearby chocolatiers and chocolate shops. The database currently lists over 2000 chocolate destinations worldwide, with more being added as chocolate businesses submit their info to be included.<\/p>\n<p>The app is definitely an early version with gaps in the content and no way to customize or interact much with it (and distances are in meters, which makes sense in that Ecole Chocolat is Canadian, but it really messes with my American sense of distance) \u2014 but it\u2019s about chocolate! And it immediately tells me about chocolate nearby!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2372\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2372\" style=\"width: 320px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/chocomap.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2372\" title=\"chocomap\" src=\"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/chocomap.png\" alt=\"choco map\" width=\"320\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/chocomap.png 320w, https:\/\/chocolatebythebay.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/chocomap-300x286.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2372\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Where in the world do you find good chocolate?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There\u2019s also an <a title=\"Chocolate World Map\" href=\"https:\/\/chocomap.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">interactive chocolate map of the world<\/a> on William\u2019s website: chocomap.com. So if you\u2019re planning a trip somewhere, you can do some research on chocolate destinations at your destination, or just check out what\u2019s happening in other parts of the chocolate world.<\/p>\n<p>This is also where you can submit your own chocolate business for inclusion on the map and in the app. I hope every chocolatier and chocolate shop gets on this and uploads their info.
