The first time I had <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dagobachocolate.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dagoba Chocolate<\/a> was last Spring when we went to Atlanta to visit my sister &amp; her family for Spring Break\/Easter\/Noah&#8217;s Baptism.&nbsp; Kelly (my sister), had her in-laws staying with them as well for Noah&#8217;s Baptism.&nbsp; Nancy, Kelly&#8217;s MIL, was kind enough to bring Jon &amp; I some wonderful gluten-free treats.&nbsp; Among the treats were <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pamelasproducts.com\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Pamela&#8217;s<\/a> Brownies, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.macaroonking.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Jennie&#8217;s Macaroons<\/a> &amp;
