I've had a bunch of their truffles (the spiked ones have a good kick, and the hot/spicy habanero caramels are actually to die for). Service is always pleasant and friendly too. It's a good thing I don't live too close because I would come here every day. I am also addicted to their drinking chocolate. Prepared as instructed, it makes a super thick, creamy and decadent treat but sometimes I swap it out for 2x the milk and enjoy a luxury hot chocolate. You can't go wrong with the Chocolate Fetish!

The chocolates were fantastic--we especially loved the White Squirrel Chocolate Pops. However, the service felt cold and unwelcoming; the woman working there seemed like she'd rather be anywhere else. That said, we decided to give it another try, hoping for a better experience--and it absolutely delivered. The young lady behind the counter today was warm, friendly, and made us feel right at home! We're thrilled they have her leading the front of the shop, and we'll definitely be back.

We visited Baxley's Chocolates this weekend. First of all, the young woman who helped me was so…read morenice and enthusiastic about the ice cream flavors they sell. She made helpful suggestions and explained the flavor profile of each ice cream flavor I asked about, as if she was a sommelier. I ordered the horchata ice cream flavor in a waffle cone. It was creamy, milky, and had wonderful cinnamon notes. The other flavor had peanut butter. I think it was called peanut butter melt away. I heard it was good but I didn't try it because I was so happy with my own cone. I would definitely check out this spot if you're in the mountains near Sylva. Their homemade treats are yummy.

They make marshmallows, but also turtles (called catamount paws here), nut brittles, sugar plums, chocolate coated orange peel and ginger. They also make beautiful truffles including unique flavors such as lavender and scuppernong wine. You can take truffle making classes if you're in town; they have them for both kids and adults! They also ship their products, including special packaging for warm weather for an extra fee, so if you're not nearby you can still get a taste! The fellow at the counter was very friendly and chatty. Definitely a spot to stop in Sylva.

The aroma of chocolate wraps around you the second you walk through the door -- rich, warm, and completely unforgettable. There's an entire area where you can watch the actual machines they use to craft their chocolate, which adds so much charm and character. But our favorite part was the cozy coffee section. A simple caramel latte ended up being the highlight -- balanced, smooth, and exactly what we didn't know we needed. A little moment of serendipity we're glad we found.

Tours are offered daily with reservations, and the café is also open for walk-ins. I ordered a hot chocolate, not realizing it was made with dark chocolate. It turned out to be very rich and strong. A bit too intense for my personal taste. I honestly wish they offered milk on the side so I could dilute it, as I wasn't able to finish it. Afterward, I definitely needed water because of how rich it was. However, I also ordered the mocha stout cake, and that was absolutely delicious and very enjoyable. Overall, it's a great spot for serious dark chocolate lovers and anyone interested in high quality, handcrafted chocolate.

I first found the chocolate store when I took a tour of the area, and this was a stop. I've been coming back ever since. They have premade boxes or you can select your pieces from the case. The boxes are made with either assortments, all dark or all milk, or caramels. Then there are prewrapped treats throughout the store. I like that they have various items for many different holidays, whether Halloween, Christmas, Easter, Mother's Day or Valentine's Day. If you can't make it to the store, they have a website to order from.
