I have always been unsatisfied with life as most people live it. Always I want to live more intensely and richly. Why muck and conceal one's true longings and loves, when by speaking of them one might find someone to understand them, and by acting on them one might discover oneself?"Evert Ruess"

*** Chocolatier offers life-like hearts
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -
Theresa Mueller makes Valentine's hearts lined
with blood vessels, aorta attached. The $8.95 chocolate heart -
life-sized and shaped like a human heart - is the latest in a series
of novelty items that she's sold at her shop for 20 years. She said
inspiration for the heart came last year when she saw the deluge of
traditional Valentine's Day decorations. Mueller runs Chocolate by
Mueller in downtown Philadelphia. She consulted a medical textbook
for pictures to use as a guide to have the molds custom-made. She
still sells chocolates in the traditional stylized heart shape and
ones shaped like Cupid, but she said the anatomically correct hearts
have exceeded her expectations by far.p.Unusual Destinations For Your Next Road Trip: Creepiest Places To Go
Chocolates by Mueller - (Philadelphia, PA)
Since the trip to the Mutter Museum probably made you build up one hell of an appetite, your next stop should be this chocolate shoppe. Sure, they have the usual delicacies such as truffles, marzipan, and caramel apples. But who wants that, when you can have anatomically-correct Lungs, Hearts, Lab Rats, Brains, Noses, and Ears...ALL made out of gourmet chocolate? My favorite is the Chocolate Dentures, described on the website as "white chocolate teeth, pink chocolate gums, just like Grandpa's chompers." Yum!

Chocolate by Mueller, Reading Terminal Market, 12th and Arch sts., 215-922-6164We're a stickler for these sugary treats, which come coated in cement-like candy or ooey-gooey caramel, the latter with or without crushed nuts or chocolate. Our favorite is Mueller's chocolate-covered caramel apple dipped in peanuts, a super-fresh rendition that puts the prepackaged Acme-bought variety to shame.

Eat Your Heart Out... Literally
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (AP): Theresa Mueller sold anatomically correct confections at her chocolate shop for Valentine's Day this year: hearts, complete with aorta.
The $8.95 (US) chocolate heart — life-sized and molded to closely resemble a human heart — is the latest in a series of novelty items that she's sold at her shop for the past 20 years.
Last year's big Valentine's item? 12 chocolate noses, packaged along with a note saying, ....I thought you said you wanted a dozen noses!''
No word if Mueller is planning any to release any other chocolate body parts in the near future. One can easily picture, however, the type of chocolate "novelty item" that might be banned in Alabama. The question remains, of course, whether it would be released with or without nuts.

Eat your heart out
The Mutter Museum gift shop gleefully sells bouncing eyeballs, skeleton key chains and a set of sticky body parts for $3.50. But for those who really want to sink their teeth into their anatomy studies, it's gotta be a trip to Chocolate by Mueller.
Here, in the historic Reading Terminal Market, Theresa and Glenn Mueller and their family offer luscious chocolate hearts, lungs, noses, ears and hands, each correct to the last nodule and vein. Sweethearts send the lung with a card to say "You Take My Breath Away" and punsters buy a dozen noses instead of roses for Valentine's Day.
"My wife came up with the idea of an anatomically correct heart about four years ago, when our son-in-law was in med school," said Glenn. "So we hired an artist to make the sculpture and then a mold maker."
When boxer Mike Tyson bit off part of Evander Holyfield's ear, that was the signal for the Muellers to crank up production.
"The chocolate ears are still a big seller," Glenn said.
Beyond natural body parts, the Muellers have stretched their novelty to pink-and-white dentures and even a chocolate-covered onion.
How does that taste?
"It's awful," Glenn said with a proud, honest chuckle. "But they get a lot of laughs, and make good table centerpieces. And," he added as a bonus, "the onions start growing if you keep them long enough."

From the Editors
It's not just the prime location at one of the 12th Street entrances at the Reading Terminal Market that makes this store so popular with tourists and local alike (you're served deli-style -- by the number). And not the fact that it makes its molded chocolate and confections on site and by hand, the old-fashioned way. It's also the novelty factor, because where else would you buy a chocolate lab rat? Or an anatomically correct human heart ($11.95), the Valentine's Day bestseller? Chocolate by Mueller is headed by Glenn Mueller, whose family had been in this business since 1980. Technically, there are two sites at the market, the store with the endless, gleaming counter brimming with confectionary delights out of a childhood fantasy, and the glassed-in kitchen right across, where you can peer in to see the stuff being made. Mostly, it's chocolate: the many molds in shapes of anatomically correct body parts (brains, ears, noses -- nothing inappropriate), dentures ($10 for a set), bagels, chips, animals, chocolate-covered strawberries, seasonally themed gifts for Easter and Christmas. There's the famous chocolate-covered onion that's been generating attention since the early 80s. One counter is entirely devoted to the sugar-free creations. -- Tatyana Meshcheryakova (Photo: Albert Yee)http://cityguide.aol.com/philadelphia/bestchocolate

And Sugar Covered Cheese Steaks?
Some 40-something male to his wife or girlfriend, walking by the glass cases at Chocolate by Mueller: "Do you think they have chocolate covered pretzels in Heaven?"

A Gift from the Heart
At best, it's a classic; at worst, it's a cliché. Whatever your perspective, there's no denying that chocolate hearts are the quintessential Valentine's Day gift. But if you're sweetie has an offbeat sense of humor, then why not give something as unique as she is: an anatomically-correct candy heart.
This gift idea will take some forethought, since an exhaustive local search left us, well... disheartened. However, several overseas websites offer 'doctor approved' alternatives to the usual Valentine's Day chocolates. We particularly like the 0.45 kg (1lb) solid heart offered by the US-based chocolatier, Chocolate by Mueller (www.chocolatebymueller.com). It comes complete with aorta, valves and even fine-detailed veins, and is made with your choice of gourmet-quality white, milk or dark chocolates.
Arguably the web's most morbid retailer, Pushin' Daisies (www.pushindaisies.com) sells both chocolate hearts and anatomically-correct gummy hearts. Or, give the gift that keeps giving with a heart-shaped gelatin mold from Terror Labs (www.terrorlabs.com). What homemaker wouldn't thrill to serve guests a piece of her red gelatin heart?
Now, there are three types of women in this world: those who won't get it, those who will think it's gross and those who will laugh hysterically as they bite into a chocolate ventricle. If you are lucky enough to be involved with the latter, then live up to her twisted expectations with a truly heartfelt present.
