100% Chocolate, baby. Nothing but the best for the father of our country.
I am informed that there used to be another chocolate historical figure, made out of white chocolate, and "It was the most beautiful one" out of what I can only assume was the Marriot's extensive Chocolate President Collection.
But unfortunately, "One day, a guest put a cup of coffee on top of his protective case, and his hand fell off. Then they moved Washington to the giftshop." But of course! For safe keeping.
"I don't know why they took the white chocolate guy away," the art lover continued, "He looked fine with one hand."
