Where Banff and Jasper, Alberta are famous for their freshly made fudge, Fernie is famous for its locally crafted chocolates. Bean Pod Chocolate Maker in downtown Fernie BC is where the chocolate making magic happens.

Did you know that the antioxidants in dark chocolates have been shown to have a positive affect on exercise performance and that its healthy fats help with recovery??? Since Fernie is full of outdoor adventure activities it would seem that dark chocolate's antioxidants and healthy fats might therefore help with one's sport performance...maybe. Worse case, it makes a nice treat after a hard day of outdoor fun.
