Yes, that's right. What we have here is a life-size, hand-carved, 1,700 pound ... wait for it now, we didn't make this stuff up ... chocolate moose. And its name is Lenny.
Lenny's home is Len Libby Chocolates, just up Route 1 a bit from our spot in Arundel, Maine. Which is, itself, just down the highway a piece from Kennebunkport. We've done a fair bit of beachcombing, shopping and exploring in this area. But we stumbled onto Lenny purely by chance, when we finally decided to stop and visit the chocolate shop we had passed several times in our excursions.
Lenny, though, wasn't the best thing there, IMHO. We found a soft caramel-like confection dusted in powdered sugar called Bangor taffy. I'm a caramel aficionado, so I couldn't get out of there without several pounds of the stuff.
