    This chocolatier is located inside the Hotel Captain Cook, where we stayed...and I just had to check it out. Seems they specialized in these high-end chocolates inspired by the Aurora Borealis...and truly, these little chocolate balls were a work of art! Not only gorgeous, they were sensational...SO DELICIOUS! I can see why they have a perfect 5-star rating. Anyway, while we stayed at the hotel, I bought 2 batch of these chocolate balls...and I even convinced my husband to buy some to try. He did...and he agreed that they were sensational! THANK YOU!!!

    I came here on my birthday to treat myself with some of the prettiest chocolates I have ever seen. This place is inside captain cook hotel. The hotel has several entrances so it might be a bit confusing to locate the exact spot. But you locate it, you ll be greeted with an array of gorgeous hand crafted chocolates you ll ever see. I sampled a few of them that included an aurora chocolate, a dark chocolate, an almond praline, hazel nut ball, white peppermint. Outside the aurora range, My favorite was the hazel nut. White peppermint was an interesting piece it had actual multicolored pepper corns in them. Aurora is $3.5 a piece. It is expensive but can't put a price on a rare skill and art.

    Such a treat! We were staying at the Captain Cook Hotel and what a delight it was to discover a fun shop like this! Each piece, you can tell, was made with attention to detail. I loved each one that I tried but my favorite was the caramelized pear with saffron. This one was such a unique combo, but very well balanced! We loved it so much that we purchased a box to hand carry home!

    I want to say a big WOW to this place. It is such a beautiful chocolate gallery shop. When I see the pole light inspired chocolates, they are unbelievable artistic and beautiful. I read about this chocolate store from YouTube videos and magazines, it is ranked the best chocolate in Alaska. I totally agree with that. I have been to a lot of chocolate shops in NYC. This is definitely comparable and I think it is one of most impressive chocolates. We picked some unique flavors, such as Yuzu, mango green tea, and bourbon. They are too beautiful to take the bite. But once you put into your mouth, you are feeling fall in love.

    Stopped in today 5/16 to grab a few of their hand painted chocolates I had read about while eating at Simon and Seaforts. My set of chocolates ran me about $25. I am so excited to try them. They are too pretty to eat! The owner was kind and friendly and explained everything about each hand painted chocolate. Definitely recommend.

    This place is hands down the best chocolatier in Anchorage. The staff is helpful and the chocolates are not only beautiful but taste amazing. My husband can't get enough and he is not a chocolate fan. We ship them as gifts. The truffles are so beautiful I almost feel guilty eating them. They have great hours and ship for you.

    My husband and I came to Alaska for our honeymoon, and this was one of our favorite spots. To be honest, we didn't expect much at first because I'm not a fan of snobby chocolates (I like basic flavors). But wow, we were in for a surprise! We walked in the shop, and there was a gentleman at the counter who greeted us and explained the chocolates to us. It turns out he is the husband of the master chocolatier who makes the chocolates! Ingrid, his wife, runs the original shop at another location where she makes the chocolates, while the husband manages the hotel location. It was a pleasant surprise to find out the gentleman is a Korean, just like me and my husband. He shared with extensive detail how each of the chocolates are made and the painstaking (and almost impractical) process that his wife goes through to craft each piece of chocolate. And yes, they are gorgeous! But even more than just the appearance of the chocolates, I was blown away by the taste. Some flavor combinations sounded a little crazy, but they actually tasted good and suited even my basic chocolate palate. If you're in Alaska, this place is worth a visit because there truly is no other place like it. It is a bit pricey, but it is well worth the money in my opinion.

    I first learned about Sweet Chalet when I was preparing for my winter trip to Alaska. I stumbled upon an Indie Alaska video on Youtube featuring the owner Ingrid's northern lights-inspired chocolates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIbwX1LP-ZQ I was super excited to discover that she has a smaller shop inside the hotel that I'd be staying at. While I never made it to their main shop/factory and didn't get to meet Ingrid herself, her husband Jae who manned the shop at the hotel was super kind. I visited the shop twice - the first time to purchase only a few of the hand painted aurora borealis chocolates since they were pricey. I couldn't resist saving them for later; they were beautiful and delicious! On my last night at the hotel, I happened to walk by late in the evening and saw that Jae was about to close up his shop. I didn't have my wallet on me and he wasn't setup to charge my purchase to my room, so he said he'll stay and wait for me. I ran up to my room and returned with my wallet to purchase a small box of chocolates. He was very kind to share some travel advice and wished me luck on seeing the northern lights (which I was lucky to see on my last night in Alaska!). When he asked if I liked caramels, I said I don't. He said Ingrid's caramels are delicious and gifted me an assorted pack. He was right! They were the best caramels I've ever had. The caramels were soft and did not stick to my teeth. I loved the unique caramel flavors, especially the coffee flavored and lemon white chocolate flavored caramels. I had a wonderful trip to Alaska in the winter thanks to kind people that I met like Jae.

    delicious hand made gourmet chocolate.. soooo good!

At the moment they don't have any salt water tarfy. They guy who must be the owner or someone told us a story about how they can't get the syrup or rather the buckets to store it in. So no salt water taffy for the past two years but he said they would bring it back in the future. We ended up getting dill pickle pretzels(I didnt like them, they tasted nothing of pickles) and a pack of popcorn in the $5 bin. It was in the $5 bin because sometimes the little square food saver thing doesn't work and it doesn't seel the package. The popcorn tasted fine tho. They had some flavors I would have liked to try like everything bagel but I don't know if they do samples. The other portion of their place is where they make the products, lots of popcorn popping. You can also find their items at waffles and what not down the road and I've also seen them at Walmart in the Alaska section.

Forgot to take more pictures but I'll definitely be back for more. Their taffy is alao advertised as glacier water taffy; not sure if that makes it special but it sounds cool! $6 per bag, taffy or popcorn. I think they make kettle corn fresh in the mornings as well

Each tart had its own unique flavor, perfectly balanced and not too sweet, which made it way too easy to keep reaching for another. The chocolate raspberry cake was a standout--rich, moist, and layered with just the right amount of tartness from the raspberry filling. What really surprised me was how satisfying everything tasted without feeling heavy or overly sweetened--and even better, it didn't spike my blood sugar the way most desserts do. You can tell there's intention behind the ingredients and how everything is made. They also have plenty of other baked goods like cookies, brownies, and more, so there's definitely something for everyone. The staff are friendly, and the bakery itself is so cute--such a welcoming little spot that makes the experience even better. If you're looking for treats that feel a little more thoughtful but still indulgent, this spot is definitely worth checking out.
