Chocolate Advent Calendar?

by Mark P » Mon Nov 30, 2009 7:44 pm

Does anyone have an idea of where I can buy an advent calendar filled with the little chocolates? I remember seeing them everywhere when I was growing up, but cant seem o find one for my 2 year old.

I've tried calling Christian bookstores and churches already.

Whole Foods has them with fair trade milk chocolate, or at least they did last week.

Last year, I bought one at the little candy store on Bardstown near Douglass Loop. That one was from Germany.

I loved those calendars. And, being my mother is a fiery full-blooded German, I'd get one every year. Though, she ALWAYS made sure to tell me not to eat all the days at one time. :D

I've bought them at World Market in the past couple of years and Walgreens probably has them too.

Aldi has/had them for 99 cents, though the Aldi on bardstown rd is out. They do have lots of other seasonal German candy and treats at very reasonable prices.

My mother in law got some for our kids at the Factory Card Outlet on Taylorsville Rd (in the same shopping center as TJ Maxx and Heitzmans). Last year, we got them at Liquor Barn on Hurstbourne.

Thanks for the info everyone!! I ended up grabbing one at Schimpffs Confectionery in Jeffersonville. I was very surprised it cost $9, but I was under the gun as its Dec. 1st and I told my wife "they will be everywhere."
