Cacao is such a cozy little chocolate shop in the South End. However, the quality of their…read moreindividual chocolates were so-so. We were a bit disappointed because some pieces tasted stale while others were delicious. For their expensive price point, they all should've been perfect. My favorite was their nougatine, and my least favorite was the almond bark. The main reason I'm giving them a higher rating is because their hot chocolate is so rich + dreamy. Will def need to come back this winter to get it again, but would skip the bonbons next time.

This was a very pleasant surprise!…read more For my birthday last year, a chocolate-making class was promised as a gift. Given constant traveling and life overall, we did not get to partake in a class of this type until Labor Day weekend in Boston. My companion set this up all by himself with the lovely Beth. Beth was very communicative, even giving us directions to her place, as well as to many of the attractions that the city of Boston has to offer. It was just us two, along with Beth and her husband Steve. They were so nice, making us feel very welcome in their home (because shockingly this is at their house!). Beth is a master at her craft. She's been making chocolate for years and it really shows. Her chocolate was so pretty and yummy. As for the actual chocolate-making class, we began with tasting chocolates from all around the world to then attempting to make our own. Have to say the chocolate was delicious and rich. Definitely not the type of thing you can eat all in one go unless you are a true chocolate lover. That said, this was quite fun and we took many goodies back home to Florida. Definitely something I would want to do again, and more so, Beth and Steve are such kind folk that you want to invite them out to lunch or something along those lines. Felt as if we were with friends.

A cute candy shop in Newton with so many options from bulk candy to chocolates to festive baskets…read more The prices for the bulk candy range from $14-25 and you can mix and match and they'll round out the pricing. I got about a pound of candy for around $14 to try a good mix of everything from chewy and sour gummies to chocolate. They have swedish candy that has the chewy marshmallow textures to tiny gummy bears with different flavors. While I was paying, the lady told me they've been open for 35 years, so they are definitely doing well. A great place to stop by if to indulge on some sweets and treats.

Tick Tock Chocolates is one of my favorite little shops in Belmont…read more Whenever I need a gift for a host, a birthday, a "thank you", or a friend who's letting me stay at their house, this is one of the first places I think of. My default is usually the 9-piece box. If I really like you, you get the 9-piece box (lollll). Walking up to the display case can be dangerous; it's so hard for me to choose flavors because I really just want to try them all. There are rows of beautiful handmade chocolates in every color imaginable, and the flavors are so much fun: Vietnamese coffee, cookie butter (Biscoff), passionfruit, strawberry matcha, lavender, macadamia praline, local honey, salted caramel, and so many more. They also make seasonal treats. Around Easter, there are gorgeous big chocolate eggs that you crack open to reveal candy inside (I was SO close to buying one for myself ), along with adorable little chocolate bunnies. The chocolates are almost too pretty to eat. (I said "almost", mind you.) You admire them for a little while, and then somehow they mysteriously disappear into your mouth. NOMZ! My personal favorites are the Vietnamese coffee (of course) and the cookie butter, while some of my friends swear by the passionfruit and the fruitier flavors. I don't think I've had a bad one yet. But here's one thing that has always stuck with me, it's something that happened when I was in the shop one afternoon. A family was sampling quite a few chocolates, and I remember feeling a little bad for the owner because they were so patient and generous with everyone. I ended up making sure I bought a box to bring to friends that day, not because anyone pressured me or anything, but...don't you just wanna support a small business run by genuinely kind people? I haven't found a chocolate-loving friend who wasn't thrilled to receive a box from Tick Tock. (One of my friends are the 9-piece box in a weekend. I can't blame them, but...) Belmont is lucky to have Tick Tock Chocolates, and I hope they're around for a very long time.

Chocolate! Chocolate! Chocolate!…read more So rich hot chocolate! We were craving dessert and decided to get some hot chocolate from L.A Burdock since we were in the area. The shop is super cute with plenty of chocolate gifts to take home or to buy for someone special. I really liked their displays of beautifully wrapped chocolate bars and gift sets. At the back of the shop their is a coffee shop that offers some pastries. I ordered their classic hot chocolate and my boyfriend got their spicy hot chocolate. There are a few tables to sit and enjoy your dessert and we were lucky to grab a seat because it was very busy on a late Saturday night. The drinks came out hot and super rich! The classic was very good and very chocolatety. The spicy hot chocolate was so thick and rich it felt like I was drinking a candy bar it was almost non liquid! It was very good! If you are a chocolate lover I highly recommend trying their yummy hot chocolate! You can even purchase a bag to prepare at home!
