Local Chocolatier Karen L. Neugebauer Makes Skagit County Sweeter

Exquisitely crafted chocolate excites many of our senses. First, that heavenly smell when you walk into a shop.

For a rare few – roughly 1 to 5% of the world’s population – who have synesthesia, chocolate can also mean sounds. Forté Chocolate Founder and Master Chocolatier Karen L. Neugebauer is one of those rare individuals. She hears music when she tastes flavors.
