Initially excited when I saw scores of cars and a few tour buses in the parking lot, my enthusiasm for Ethel M Chocolates quickly waned as I spent more time here.\n\nStarted at the cactus garden, which was underwhelming.  Nothing very special.\n\nWe proceeded to the chocolate factory, and the \"self guided tour\" was a 30 foot procession down a hall with a history of chocolate and the evolution of Ethel M Chocolates.  To our left was part of the factory, and there was very little going on behind the glass.  At the end of the hall was a cute little white haired woman who handed out one morsel of chocolate per guest.  It was good, but nothing special.  From there, an overpriced chocolate boutique.\n\n30 minutes of my life I will never get back
