Driving through the Deadwood-Lead area just wasting time, we originally drove past the Chubby Chipmunk, but then decided to go back after not much else in the area was open yet. Glad we did. The interior is cozy, a little small and a little cramped with everything in there, but helpful staff and samples out to try some goodies. Lots to choose from. We actually limited ourselves to a 6 pack of truffles. There are traditional chocolate candies, but the truffles are cute. They have different designs and some are topped with edible glitter. If you're traveling around, either bring them back to wherever you're staying or get something to keep them cool if you're not going to eat them right away. read more

Chocolate. Pretty much chocolate. Very good chocolate but not much else. Still looking for some really good Carmel in Rapid City.

Love this place. I order chocolates every year at the holidays and get them shipped to KY. I try to buy enough that I can freeze them to last the entire year. Are they expensive, yes. Are they worth it? Definitely. read more

They didn't have ice cream. Their store was very cool but it was very pricey for one truffle.

Always delicious and delectable! So hard to choose from the wonderful selection! I recommend going back in order to try them all!

Did I see the Chipmunks here? Yup, I sure did! Alvin, Simon, and Theodore were all outside the shop. They were among the props outside the little Chocolate shop. If you are claustrophobic, then do not go inside the shop. There was a total of about 9 people inside the shop when we were there, and it was a bit too cramped for the limited space inside. Most of the truffles are displayed in the case at the counter. Other merchandise and chocolate is located throughout the store. They even sell Ice Cream from a local South Dakota vendor. I was tempted to purchase a pint, but they were sold out of the flavors I wanted to try. We ended up purchasing six assorted Truffles and a Chocolate bar. Everything was pretty good. My personal favorite was the New York Cheesecake flavor. I recommend dropping by this local chocolate shop if you are anywhere near Deadwood, South Dakota. How can you resist? With the name Chubby Chipmunk, you just gotta go!! read more

Amazing chocolate and truffles!!! Definitely worth the money!!!! It is soooo good we stopped twice while staying in Deadwood!

They had ice cream but no cones, bummer. It was dirty inside and out, amazing how cute this place could be with a little vacuuming, dusting and a little blowing off the entry/patio area. Their specialty is really truffles, not ice cream cones. read more

What a great experience. Linda was such a pleasant person. We stayed and chatted with her. Thank you for sharing stories with us and know it was appreciated. We are on a 30 day driving trip and was nice to meet her. Chocolates are featured at the Emmy's and Grammy. Congrats read more

Wow!!! I consider myself a bit of a chocolate snob.... These are delicious chocolates and 100% worth the stop!

This is a fun and cute little chocolate shop. It is worth stopping in just to check out how unique it is with the decorations outside, but when you walk in the "cuteness" just grows. It is a real quaint little shop, and the chocolates taste great. It is a limited selection, but everything they have is great. read more

If you are in the Lead/Deadwood area you have to go get some chocolates! The ladies were soooo nice, and the chocolates are amazingly beautiful and mind bogglingly delicious. If you need gifts to take home or just have a sweet tooth, this is the place! read more

After reading about how amazing the truffles were and how it was a top 10 must do in Deadwood-we had to go. We weren't disappointed at all! Truffles were delicious-the root beer float truffle was literally like drinking one. Staff was super friendly read more

This place was recommended to us by the trolley driver. While the truffles are very good there is not a lot of selection of chocolate and the prices are very expensive. read more

The most amazing chocolate!! We highly recommend stopping and getting some of your favorite flavors! read more

Chubby Chipmunk Hand-Dipped Chocolates - A mix of dark and milk chocolate truffles! Their signature chipmunk one was delicious and I really enjoyed the raspberry. - Chocolatiers & Shops Near Me - Deadwood, South Dakota

This is awesome. Everything is huge. beautiful, and delicious. Cozy woodsy feel with a giant wood chipmunk out front. I had stopped here only because of the previous Yelp.com review! I mentioned it to the owner, she wasn't familiar with it, so I hope she comes and checks it out! This place could be incredible only for the fact that they have a Truffle vending machine outside! Yes. A vending machine dispensing $2 truffles. I hear on some mornings when they open it's sometimes empty! This is one of those hole in the wall places that will get more popular little by little. Deadwood is a small community with nice travel appeal, I hope that the tourist trade keeps this place alive! There isn't a bad piece of chocolate in this place. Try the key lime... strawberry princess parfait.. orange with dark chocolate... I am at an airport waiting for my connecting flight and I realized I forgot my acorn shaped tin in the fridge where we were staying. Good thing it was with family and they offered to overnight them for me! I would be devastated if I didn't get them home. read more

Best truffles ever. Got that. Best ever. Try the deadwood toffee, moose toffee, salted caramel, root beer float, key lime, etc. You get the idea. All are great and it really depends on your tastes. They always have three truffles cut up as samples so you can taste a small selection but at a cost under $3. a truffle you can't go wrong. They even have a truffle vending machine in case you get here after hours. Look for th big wooden chubby chipmunk out front. read more

Delicious! I picked up a few of the truffles while in the area for the Sturgis rally and am glad I did. They have some of the best chocolate I've ever eaten, Highly recommend stopping in. The chocolates are definitely worth the price. read more

2009 Seattle Chocolate Salon Review Many plates of small spoons filled with different fillings and topped with small pieces of chocolate to match the full size truffles (available for sale). Key Lime - The friendly staffer saw how much I enjoyed the white chocolate topped spoon (I was actually walking in New York City at a street fair enjoying Key Lime Pie on a stick) that she scooped up some filling and topped it with a dark chocolate piece... KILLER!!! Moose Toffee - pure British sticky toffee puddling flavor with awesome dark chocolate goodness. Very friendly booth with ample samples, plenty of product to sell at a great price, and very encouraging of repeat samplers :-)! read more

Too expensive for not good chocolate. The front area was way too small and only had one checkout place for how many people were trying to order. You can find better chocolate from the grocery store. Wish I could support this small business, but I will not be returning. Sorry. read more

Ridiculously expensive I ordered two different types of chocolate and figured I was going to get several pieces of each I got the bill it was six dollars plus change for two pieces of chocolate won't be going back there anytime soon even though the chocolate was very good read more

The only reason this gets a four and not a five star rating is because they could stand to hire a few more people at the counter during the busy season. I would never recommend that they move though as their location is charming and part of the Chubby Chipmunk experience. It's in what I'm guessing was an old 1920's era gas station, so the public part of it is where you'd pay for your gas. You can imagine how tiny that is. But that's part of its charm. The way they've got the little business decorated is adorable, with signed pictures of the HBO cast of Deadwood, the dark wood and low lighting. It's perfect. Hands down, the BEST truffles I've ever had. In fact, during the winter, I've shipped them to friends on the east coast. Yes, they're that good. They do ship, but seasonally only so the chocolates won't melt in the mail. If you're a chocolate snob, then ask to sample a few truffles. Unlike other chocolatiers, they do not use paraffin wax or other preservatives, or dry milk or other things discriminating to the palette. You can taste the butter, the cream, the high end ingredients. The counter help isn't the friendliest, but when you make something like that near perfection, a little attitude is acceptable. read more

Not worth the price $8 for a small chocolate bar. Tastes good but nothing special, small selection. Weird shop interior and exterior very chaotic and dirty. read more

Some friends brought a gift all the way to California. We opened the box and found a decorative cardboard cowboy hat. And inside were 8 delicious variety chocolates. My wife and I cut each one into halves and quarters. We are parceling them out in hope that they last forever. read more

Amazing chocolates...the truffles of course are to die for, but I especially love that all the way in the Black Hills of South Dakota this Ohio girl can get some Jeni's ice cream (look it up if you're not familiar, you'll want to become well-acquainted). CC sells Jeni's pints, and is the only place in all of South Dakota to do so. So not only can I get the most amazing truffles (coconut is by far my favorite, followed by the Calamity Patty, which is more like a deconstructed flat truffle full of caramel) I can get a piece of home in the form of amazing ice cream. Chubby Chipmunk is worth it just to stop and see the place, as the decor is super cute and kitschy. If it's not business hours, don't worry you can still get some goodies from the truffle vending machine located outside the front entrance. The owner, whose name is slipping me now, is SUCH a sweet lady...she stood and talked to us for awhile and was completely patient while my newbie friend took forever deciding what truffles she wanted to pack up and take home to her husband. In cooler months, CC will ship truffles anywhere in the US. And if you're in the rapid city area but can't make it all the way up to deadwood, they now have a second location in the Alex Johnson hotel in Rapid City. I personally prefer the old-school kitschy style of the deadwood shop, but both locations offer the chocolate truffles, patties and bars that CC is famous for. Definitely worth a stop. read more

Some of the most original, creamy and delicious chocolates I have ever had. I have my family send them to me! Everyone should make the stop in Deadwood---it is well worth it. Even after hours you can still get the chocolate fix with the vending machine. Love it! read more

These hand-dipped chocolates are absolutely delicious and each flavor is beautifully decorated. They are also very reasonable. Each truffle is about $3, a way better deal than Godiva. read more

Went for ice cream, but they only had root beer floats, even though ice cream signs are everywhere :( On the other had, we ended up trying truffles. YUM! As always with truffles they are pricey, but you only need one! No place to sit down so grab it and eat it and go! read more

This place is addicting. We went to visit my wife's parents for a family gathering. Her dad said that we had to try this place and he was right. You can taste the love and care that goes into making these high-end chocolate treats. In the week that we visited the Deadwood area we must have stopped by at least 6 times. The truffles are amazing as is their special Fortunato #4 chocolate bars. Incredible. Looking forward to my next online order and visiting again in the near future! read more

Their chocolate is amazing, along with their truffles and ice cream. My favorite chocolate place in the black hills.

Amazing chocolates!! Cute shop. A lot of flavors to choose from. Samples as you walk in and the girl behind the counter couldn't have been nicer. Even gave us tips on where to go. Highly recommend! read more

This unique chocolate shop has incredibly smooth truffles. Plus, most of the choices are gluten free! I loved the Root Beer Truffle and the Peruvian Pepper Dark Chocolate Bar! read more

If I could give negative stars I would for the staff at this establishment. After seeing a blurb on TV about Chubby Chipmunk, it was all my 4 year old could talk about when he found we'd be driving through SD on our way to CO. After driving all day, including through copious stretches of construction , we reached our destination. Dilapidated, filthy, the truffles looked OK. When the worker told us there were no restrooms, even for a child and pregnant woman who would have been paying customers, we took our business to Mountain Treats in Hill City. I strongly recommend you do the same!! read more

Best decision I made was to stop at this shop, saw lots of cars in the parking lot with a sign of chocolates! I order a root beer float, PB cream and New York style cheese cake, it was delicious!! Will go back when I'm back in SD. read more

Love, love, LOVE this place! We make a stop every time we are in Deadwood. The black walnut truffle is to die for. Great staff as well.

I was given truffles from Chubby Chipmunk as a gift while visiting with friends in the Lead/Deadwood area. After experiencing the pleasure of eating them, I would have to say that Chubby Chipmunk makes some of the best truffles ever. They are super creamy and smooth, and they don't skimp on size! I went back to buy several more after trying them and I couldn't believe how beautiful they all looked. My husband likes white chocolate and I like dark. They have it all... white, milk and dark and they are all excellent. Unfortunately, chubby is a 15 hour drive from my home, so I won't have a chance to get there much. I am considering having some shipped since I don't have anything that compares to these where I live. Also, I don't think chubby will give out the recipes and brands of ingredients they use, will they? read more

Oh wow! That was the best piece of chocolate I have ever eaten! Beautiful truffles that taste amazing. What a hidden gem. I would go out of my way to visit this place. They have a vending machine with chocolates in it for when they are closed. And I think they are open til 5. read more

I can't believe I have been driving past this place for 15 years. A friend in Lead told us that this place had the best chocolates. I am not a truffle person, always seemed like a waste of time, but after eating these, I see what a truffle is really supposed to be like. My cousins who were with me seemed to agree as they bought $60 worth to take home with them. I will be stopping here every time I visit the hills. If you are anywhere near Deadwood, you just have to stop here. My favorite is the white chocolate buttercream. I cut it into 8 pieces, and it is just sooooooo good. read more
