"Whether it’s birthdays, Christmas mostly, Easter, Valentine’s Day, you name it, we come here, even for no occasion at all, everybody just asks for it," said Miller.
"Everybody is disappointed, that’s why I’m here right now because we are now coming to stock up, try and hold onto it for another couple of months, then we know that’ll be it," said Miller. A move many were making as the orders coming in were all in bulk. A fan favorite of many including Jo Redbird and her now deceased mother. "I’m almost glad that she doesn’t know because the orange chocolate, that was like one of her requests from her hospice bed," said Redbird.
