Huntingdon Valley's Very Own 'Chocolate Factory'

Lily Leong's passion for creating delicious treats has led to a career in the food business. You can find her sweets at Addic Treasures in the the Valley Courtyard.

Lily Leong is on a mission. She wants to “spread chocolate love.” So, each day she trades in her computer for an evening with a bowl and spatula.
