Well, all I know is this place rocks so much I had a flashback to childhood walking in the door! You got your selection of gummy bears (or fish, or worms, or whatever else is gummy). There's a healthy selection of bars, even a huge Charleston Chew (pun intended). Sour candy, nutty candy, fruity candy, chocolate candy.. I'm thinking you have already taken a mind-trip to Willy Wonka"s. The real treasure is behind the counter. Various flavors of truffles, pralines (chocolate praline it the new normal), and OMG the chocolate covered Rice Kristy treat was so decadent I had to rush home for some insulin! There are candy shops everywhere. Some try to lure you in with nostalgia, spelling their place a "shoppe". Others pump their exhaust fans into the street like the Pied Piper enticing his followers. Not needed here. Just go and be both amazed and satisfied!

We decided to have an early lunch and shared a ham n cheese quiche and the almond croissant. The quiche was made with big chunks of a wonderful smoky ham and the pastry was so light and buttery.

I recommend the truffle sampler and the Christophe's bars.

One day, I noticed that they had a sign saying Coffee and it said to come in, that they're open. I decided to give it a go. Wow! Walking in, there's a big display case full of beautiful chocolate candies. Reminded me of when I was a child and my granddaddy would take me to the Godiva store downtown to pick out some chocolates. These at Christophe's are extra fancy tho. They're hand painted! Well some of them are. A lot of the others are shaped like cute things. I got my friend a shark made of chocolate. It was hollow but the cutest thing was that it was filled with chocolate fish inside the chocolate shark! That's so appropriate for summer. My friend loves sharks and she loved this gift!!! Also, their coffee is pretty good, but they don't have many options for flavored coffees and lattes like I usually opt for. However what they do have usually hits the spot. They also sell deli sandwiches. I get the salami and Swiss sandwich. They heat it up for me in the kitchen. It is always delicious. And it's always followed by chocolate, which is the best part!

Sweeteeth Chocolate makes my heart flutter. Not the nervous about-go-on-a-first-date flutter, but…read morethe oh-my-gosh-you-are-so-good-to-me flutter. I have a serious crush on these sweets. Sweeteeth Chocolate makess high-quality chocolates and bon bons with unique flavor pairings. All of their products are made by hand and do not contain any preservatives. Sweeteeth was started by John Eric Battles, an Alabama native who previously worked at EVO Pizzeria here in Charleston. While working at EVO, "Johnny" created these treats that quickly spread through Charleston and can now be found all around the country. Their best bar is the Sea is for Caramel: 62% dark chocolate, smooth caramel, and sprinkled with sea salt. It's incredible to say the least. Don't even look at the price tag -- it's worth every hard-earned penny. I also really like the Cinnapsis: milk chocolate with chewy cinnamon apple bits and crunchy, candied pecans. Each bite of this bar is different, depending on how much apple or candied nut is in your bite. The PB&C bar (peanut butter with smoky chipotle pepper) is different. The peanut butter tastes very natural but the smokiness throws you off. Get your paws on a Sea is for Caramel bar. Immediately.

It was love at first taste, thanks to the Indie Craft Experience in Atlanta. I left that day with a salted caramel dark chocolate bar in hand, but knew that I needed more. Santa to the rescue! He brought me the chocolate sampler pack, a bunch of salted caramel dark chocolate bars, and salted caramel sauces. I mean, I have been OD'ing on chocolate and caramel for months now. But I've been good this year, and I've been sharing my chocolate with co-workers. Everyone loves this stuff-- it's like crack drips out of the salted caramel bar or something. I don't know what it is, but it's magical. Do yourself or someone else a favor and order some Sweeteeth. Or at least go to their website and admire the pictures of their chocolate bars.

I was looking for a place near the event to do a neighborhood tie in and they made me 7 dozen mini cupcakes. I sent an inquiry and we worked out the details over email. I initially was going to get a few dozen regular sized cupcakes, but Christen suggested the mini's for bite sized snacking in a mingling... setting which was perfect. We set a pickup time and I went to grab them just before my event. Christen had them ready and greeted me at the door. She actually does all the baking off site at a commercial kitchen and then offers pickup from her beautiful home downtown. I love this old school way of doing business and it adds a personal touch. Now for the cakes! Everyone was raving about them and asking where they came from... even people who said they don't even like chocolate cake (weirdos if you ask me). I lucked out because my guests had restraint and didn't devour every last mini cupcake so I took home about a dozen of them and enjoyed all of them with zero judgement from the party goers. I can't wait to try a whole cake from this place... it's gonna be amazing.
