At the first one, Neuhaus, I spent about 1 euro and got 3 pieces of chocolate. The two I chose were delicious, and the proprietor's suggestion was the most delicious candy I've ever tasted. It was "very fresh cream" in a delicate butter cookie coated in dark chocolate. I went back the next day for 2 more and a box of dark chocolate, which has been traveling around Europe with me. A few tastes go a long way with rich pieces like these!
At the other shop, The Chocolate Line, the rather uppity clerk chose 100 grams for me, about 8 pieces. Most were delicious and interesting, but the best by far was the strangest. Inside dark chocolate were 3 layers - black olive, tomato, and basil marziapan. It was shocking and delicious. Unfortunately I was long gone in Heidelberg by the time I realized there were plenty more herb combinations to be had at that shop.
I brought 2 1/2 bags of kettle corn with me, and ran out yesterday. It's nice to free up some packing space, I suppose.
