Chai Chocolate

Our local chocolatier Cocoa Creek Chocolates has recently launched a whole new line of chocolates featuring our town, their hometown collection. They sure are sweet on Mechanicsburg!  All of the terrific family neighborhoods, first-rate schools, parks, historic sites and cultural events, Mechanicsburg is home to some of the nicest, happiest people around which has totally inspired the chocolatiers to create a yummy box of perfectly crafted and delicious chocolates. Mechanicsburg, our hometown is a uniquely special place to live and work.  The Borough's crown jewel is its vibrant, colorful downtown -- which famously transforms into a street fair for Jubilee Days, sponsors a busy community events calendar including the annual Art Walk & Wine Tasting event, and hosts the renowned "Wrench Drop" on New Year's Eve. For the rest of the year, it's a bustling center of commerce and a lively social scene where friends meet to shop, share a cup of coffee, enjoy a beauty fix, and revel in the quintessential small-town experience.  This collection of chocolates is their love letter to the Borough of Mechanicsburg, and the businesses and people that make it unforgettable.  The chocolates and the business they represent include:

The box includes a write up of each business that is featured and here is ours:

Currently celebrating 50 years in the community, The Rosemary House offers a stunning array of herbs and spices, for uses ranging from culinary (seasoning) to fragrance (potpourri, soaps, perfumes) to healing (tonics, oils and extracts).  Owner Susanna Reppert Brill, a sixth-generation herbalist, grew up working alongside her mother (who founded the business), absorbing her encyclopedic knowledge of herbs and plants.  After graduating from Mechanicsburg High School and earning a degree in Public Policy at Penn State, Susanna returned and took over The Rosemary House.  To augment her already strong folk herbalist background, Susanna completed a two-year program in herbal therapeutics, along with study of anatomy, physiology and clinical training, allowing her to provide comprehensive advice to her customers.  Her husband and business co-owner David Brill is also a trained clinical herbalist and offers consultations aimed at holistic healing.  After almost four decades, the couple's passion for their work is evident in the store's eclectic merchandise, the beautiful adjoining garden, and the flourishing calendar of events including herbal education, tea parties, the wildly popular annual Fairy Festival, and hosting the Pennsylvania Tea Festival.
