As the PA chocolate milk whirlwind tour draws to a close, some of the very best are saved for last (by happenstance)-- and would Penn State's Berkey Creamery chocolate milk be the best university chocolate milk I've tried thus far?

From central to southwestern PA, we pick up 5 previously untried chocolate milks, as well as some local snacks (nothing healthy, don't worry) for the continued journey. Also, my first encounter with Whoa Nellie Dairy chocolate milk-- one of the very best you'll ever find!

Ever waited in a Walmart parking lot for chocolate milk to arrive? Ever had chocolate goat milk on the steps of the capitol building? Thankfully, Pennsylvania-- the world's epicenter of chocolate milk-- allows for these (highly recommended) experiences should you choose to pursue them.

Nothing like an old-fashioned taste test among gas station / convenience store brands based in PA-- Turkey Hill, Rutter's, and Wawa. [Note: I've got plenty of love for Sheetz, but they don't have their own branded chocolate milk, they stock Galliker's.] After a quest to gather the low-fat and whole versions of each, I sit down for a side-by-side taste test to determine my preference.

Three local chocolate milks of outstanding quality and repute in one circuit-- including a trip to Lancaster Central Market and an eerie, imminently decaying corn maze. There may or may not be a 'whoopie cookie' sighting at the very end.

Another day on the grind, eleven more Pennsylvania-based chocolate milks obtained. Starting in Wilkes Barre, we visit Scranton, Hazelton, Tamaqua, New Holland, and Lititz, before absconding with the spoils to Harrisburg-- which would be the base of operations for the next few days.

Glamorous? Gratuitous? Just plain gluttonous? You be the judge-- a typical day on the chocolate milk grind in eastern PA, and the first day of a whirlwind week-long sweep through the state. Baily's Dairy, Tanner Bros. Dairy, Merrymead Farm, Crystal Spring Farm, and Hillside Farms-- something for everybody.

There's so much chocolate milk in PA, that you just have to start somewhere! In this case, a brief visit to Pittsburgh yielded chocolate milk from Turner's Dairy, Schneider's Dairy, Brunton Dairy, Pot O Gold Dairy, and Giant Eagle (not in the video). I later return to PA for a legitimate week-long pilgrimage to get all I can find, which was no simple task. Stay tuned..

Aside from being a cool place to visit (in underratedly-beautiful Northeast Iowa), WW Homestead Dairy is home to the only non-homogenous skim chocolate milk of which I'm currently aware!

Any reasonable person's quest for chocolate milk will take them through Iowa, and particularly, Ely-- home of Dan and Debbie's Creamery, where you'll find top-notch people, ice cream, cheese curds, and of course, chocolate milk. Also, a rare(?) find at a store lovingly dubbed 'The Pig.'
