    Four-piece box.
    Stacey L.

    Is it considered an addiction if I stop every time I'm in Oregon, or would I have to start driving to Oregon for their chocolate to tip the scale? Either way, give me more please. My introduction to their chocolate was in sample form and I immediately bought a few pieces "to share" with my boyfriend and roommate, not divulging that I was giving them one piece each and the rest were for me. Whoops! The Chocolate Caper specializes in praline - a soft, meltier chocolate with a snappier top. It's not the sugar/nut combo you're probably picturing; the owner, Dan, explained there are different types of praline (and pronunciations) and each has its own unique identity. The bases for the pralines are almond, hazelnut, toffee almond, and peanut butter, and come in white, milk, or dark chocolate varieties. My favorites are the dark chocolate peanut butter and the dark chocolate toffee almond. I surprised myself in enjoying the milk chocolate hazelnut better than the dark; given the choice between milk and dark I almost invariably prefer the latter. Each variety has a different drizzle pattern and there is a photo guide included in each box so you don't have to guess and can save your favorites for last. CC also offers other confections, and they recently obtained a liquor license and are in the process of developing wine tastings. My only warning is that once you stop in, you'll want to stop in again, and again, and again - their unique offerings and lovely staff will keep you coming back for more.

    Loved the chocolate but the atmosphere is a bit weird. I would still recommend this place for online orders.

    I'm not a huge fan of this chocolate. It's not terrible, but there are definitely better choices around Madison.

    They haven't perfected the animated, anti-establishment rants that Claude was known for, but they have time.

It was an excellent recommendation. We ordered a variety of items from the cases. The cherry cobbler was especially memorable, but everything was good. We've decided to make a visit to Sjolinds for breakfast/brunch on our way out of town a part of future Mt Horeb visits.

Not to mention it was quite popular! I loved the selection of hot chocolate options and the translation for each. However I wasn't very impressed by the French one I ordered (dark chocolate plus vanilla). It was good but not as decadent as I was anticipating and even with 30 min to close I asked to dine in but they gave me everything in Togo containers. I also got a Swede sandwich- which was ham, Swiss and Dijon mustard. Nothing to write home about. It was very very average. However I did get an almond cookie with chocolate ganache which was fantastic. Sitting at a table in this shop and looking at all the treats was great. I have a feeling if I come back at an earlier time this place could really blow me away, but as of right now. It's mid. I'm not impressed and what was left at the end of the day was just average. Also the three items cost me about $20 so I would say this place Is on the pricer end

I ordered 6 chocolate box. Chocolate prices were approx $2/piece. This price is reasonable when comparing to similar boutique chocolate shops in Madison. All chocolates were really smooth. I didn't like cinnamon/cayenne much, but rest of the chocolate were all really good. I also went for a small packet of dark chocolate with pecans. It was excellent as well.

I was SO excited to dive into the 6-pack of chocolate that I forgot to snap a photo until I was already chewing it... oops! YEP, That's how you know it's good. Each piece had its own unique character, and while I definitely had a favorite (and one I didn't love quite as much), the overall variety made the experience so fun and satisfying. The dark chocolate quality was top-notch: smooth, rich, and just the right amount of bittersweet. You can tell care went into the making of each piece. When I'm in Madison sometime, I'll absolutely stop by to pick up a box (or a few ) myself. Highly recommend for any chocolate lover, especially if you enjoy the deeper, more complex notes of dark chocolate. The little details on the chocolate collection were such a nice touch.
