Chocolate Advent calendar north of Boston?

Any idea where I could find one of these with good chocolate inside? I'm thinking of something that has a little window for each day with a tasty chocolate treat.

    They sell them really cheap at Trader Joe's. Not fabulous chocolate or graphics though.

        While not north of Boston, Phillips Candy House had them when I was there this past Saturday. They're on Morrisey Blvd in Dorchester.

          Try Winfrey's Fudge in Rowley, Beverly, or Newburyport.

              Now you got me thinking I need a couple of these, too. Is Winfreys in Stoneham at the set of lights right before the 128 exits?TIA

                Yep, that's it- right before Redstone Plaza as you are heading South on 28.

                    Yeah my 3 year old is ALL about Christmas this year and I figured there's no better time to teach him that he doesn't have to settle for chalky drugstore chocolate :-)

                      Our two little ones are hounds in the making. For Christmas, I got them aprons and kid sized kitchen tools. I also got them STone Soup cookbook- which is supposed to be good for kids. They have been helping me make pizza for ages. When we have pasta, they have to put on the grated cheese themselves- and are angry because I won't let them use the box grater to grate the cheese. They were at my house at Thanksgiving, and it was wonderful to see them enjoy the meal- and eat all of their vegatables.

            They may be sold out already, but Harbor Sweets in Salem does an Advent calendar - very good chocolates indeed!
