Favorite Chocolate Shops

[PorscheGAL]

When I travel, I like to bring a little chocolate home for my son. In the past, Seattle Chocolate was a big hit. As was Chocolate Smith in Santa Fe.

This will probably be the last Christmas my son is living at home and I would like to fill his stocking with amazing chocolate.

Do you have a favorite near you to recommend that will ship?

Once I brought a box of truffles to a friend in Santa Barbara and she said she thought they were the best she'd ever had.

My favorite chocolates were bought by Hershey and then closed down, Joseph Schmidt chocolates made Truffles in San Fran. Hershey should burn in hell for that.

We've ordered from Chocosphere several times in the past, but they sell other's chocolates, not make their own.

My wife likes a place named "The Elegant Truffle" in Point Loma, San Diego, CA
I just get along fine with a regular old store bought chocolate bar with almonds.

It's 7:40. Just finished snow crab dinner. Fantastic Sidecar has kicked in. How do I get get chocolate now?

[Tobra]

See's Candies or Ghirardelli

Vosges in Chicago. You can get their bars anywhere at fancy places like whole foods, but their boutiques are amazing and their truffles are crazy, with some similar flavors.

Chocolates El Rey, out of Venezuela, has wonderful single-origin stuff with a rich warm taste regardless of cocoa content. Dunno if they have truffles or bonbons - we just buy the bars.

I always liked Godiva and Neuhaus chocolates, You’d have to look up where you might find them in your area.
