Lenny by Josh Rubin

Lenny-The-Moose

On a recent trip to Maine I came a across a full grown moose in his natural habitat. He was not standing in a grove of pine trees where you might expect; instead, he was wading in a pond of white chocolate tinted with blue food coloring at Len Libby Candies Shop. Weighing in at 1,700 pounds, Lenny, as the locals call him, is the worlds only life-size moose made entirely of milk chocolate. I was tempted to have a taste of Lenny, but since he's the sole surviving member of the chocolate moose species, I opted for more sensible, bite-sized options like the Maine Moose Squares or the delicious chocolate and coconut Needhams.
