I came here while in mourning of my mother to seek some chocolate comfort and surely found it to no surprise. The high caliber of excellence achieved in the making of her dark chocolate almonds has not been surpassed in Indianapolis. A true superfood with such high antioxidant count and it leaves your body feeling blissful after eating it. This is a true showcase of just how wonderful true chocolate is capable of being.

Cute store, tucked away off the main road. It's very tiny with a few displays of very fancy and…read morepretty looking chocolate. It's pricey so I was unsure about spending so much on chocolate I've never heard reviews about. I'd like to go back and try some of the signature sweets though. I did get an 88% chocolate bar hoping it was like the high percentage bars I used to get in Japan, it was not. The chocolate melts very slowly, you almost have to force it with pressure since the heat in your mouth doesn't seem to trigger it. It has a nice faint sweetness at the front of your tongue but once it hits the back all you sense it overwhelming bitter and an almost sour feeling. The aftertaste is pleasant though. Yes, I know it's supposed to be bitter but I've had others that were distinct but not overpowering in bitterness. I'll continue my search for the elusive high percentage chocolate bars like I've had in the past.

THE best chocolates in Indiana. I'm calling it, people. And you can believe me, because I've eaten…read morea lot of chocolate in Indiana. I get around. J. Evelyn Confections -- also somewhat confusingly called Greenfield Chocolates by some -- is a boutique chocolate shop in downtown Greenfield. They use Valrhona chocolate and other high-quality ingredients to make their confections, and everything that they make is so fresh that they ask you to eat it within two weeks. I love that these chocolates are so good that they have rules! I don't think any kind of chocolate, in any amount, would last two weeks at my house, especially if it came from this chocolate shop, so that's no problem for me. They gave samples of their milk chocolate and dark chocolate, both of which were amazing. The chocolate has a snap when you bite into it, which is what you want. Then, it melts in your mouth. So luscious and delicious. I got a small sampler box of some of their popular chocolates: a milk chocolate caramel, a creamy vanilla bean truffle, a lemon chiffon truffle, a chocolate that had champagne in it (!!) and a crispy chocolate bonbon. Each chocolate was unique and spectacular and delightful. They have lots of chocolates and truffles, but they also sell chocolate bars, chocolate-covered nuts, caramel clusters and so many other chocolate-covered things. Greenfield Chocolates -- also called J. Evelyn Confections -- has received the Indiana Artisan seal of approval, which is kind of a big deal! It means that this local chocolate shop is committed to creating handcrafted and high-quality products in Indiana, which is really cool.

The clerk was friendly and happy to tell me the story of the owner, her friend who has this remarkable candy making skills. Most of the chocolate comes from Europe and all the candies are made fresh on site. The candies looked like little works of art. Some of the candies have a short shelf life (a couple days) because they are made of fresh ingredients and preservative free. She told me that their best seller are these giant nut clusters. They come with pecans or cashews and milk chocolate or dark. I picked out a dark chocolate cashew cluster. I ate my candy later in the evening and it tasted simply devine. The chocolate was rich and salty and the caramel creamy with the crunch of the fresh tasting nuts. What a treat. I'll be returning. The clerk told me that they decorate seasonly, and Christmas decor is fabulous.

They make the candies in house. I had trouble picking out a truffle. I was like a kid in a candy shop. The clerk was friendly and helped me decide. I settled on raspberry and lime truffles. At $3 each, they are reserved for special occasions - like today is Thursday. That's special. So I devoured the raspberry truffle before i got in the car. The flavor of chocolate and raspberry pair perfectly. The soft center was heavenly. The lime truffle was limey and rich. The shop also a collection of handmade, lovely baby gifts. The crocheted animals and dolls are exquisite. They also carry greeting cards and a few women's bags. Street parking is at a premium. Worth a visit if you want a special treat.

We definitely felt like an "inconvenience" rather than valued customers. Not rude just not appreciative for $45 spent on what could have been $20. Regarding the treats, here is the breakdown: ​Caramel Shortbread with Chocolate: This was easily the highlight of the night. Absolutely delicious and the best thing we bought. ​S'more (Chocolate Covered): This was our second favorite. It had a nice white chocolate drizzle, though I personally found the white chocolate a bit distracting. A standard chocolate-on-chocolate drizzle would have let the s'more flavors shine better. ​Pecan Delights: Disappointing. The balance was off--the pecans completely overpowered the caramel. I wouldn't purchase these again. ​Chocolate Covered Raisins: Just okay. I usually expect larger, premium raisins from a specialty shop, but these were fairly standard. ​We spent $45 on these four items, and honestly, the value wasn't there for the price point and the rushed atmosphere. While I wouldn't return for a full shopping trip, I might pop in specifically for that shortbread cookie and nothing else.

Newfangled was amazing! They responded to my initial inquiry within a few hours. Quick replies really go a long way in my world! They sent an invoice, confirmed my pick up date, and just like that I was on to my next to-do. The chocolates were incredible and truly like little pieces of art! They were also much bigger than I was anticipating but no one is going to be sad about MORE chocolate. My only feedback is that I didn't ask each truffle flavor to be placed in the same placement of each box. This was for a chocolate and wine pairing so that made it a bit trickier because they were mixed throughout. Thankfully, we decided to plate the truffles so it all worked out. I'll definitely use Newfangled again in the future!
