Yes/No Detroit

*Disclosure: I received a Chocotelegram for reviewing purposes. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own. At BlogHer '16 this year , one of the yummiest booths as the expo was definitely the Chocotelegram booth. Upon my initial "pass-through" of the expo, I briefly stopped there to grab a chocolate sample, but then when I came back through the expo another day, I stopped and chatted with the booth ladies there - and I'm very glad I did!
