Yes, I love that place. I go there about four times a year and get little trees and take friends that I've never been there before.

Really cool chocolate shop with a huge variety if chocolate and other gifts. Loved that there were a few samples sprinkled throughout the shop. Definitely a place to stop if you find yourself passing through Hico. I was delighted by all the options and really liked that they had a lot of options available in milk and dark chocolate. My friend and i got a variety if treats to try and are enjoying them all- the pups are enjoying the dog bones as well. read more

Amazing truffles and more! Super-delightful spot to visit. Nice gifts and delicious chocolates. Staff were nice and helpful and very knowledgeable about their product. Happy to see and taste fresh samples--more food forward shops should follow suit. The brittle is very tasty and satisfying. But the truffles--just wow! Especially the Wild Woman and Love Potion (already planning to drive back 2 hours for more of that!!). Sorry, no pics--ate it all. Go taste for yourself! read more

Customer service was great the team member was very knowledgeable about the product. The love potion was excellent. Love the spices. read more

Mosey around, listen to those old floors creak while the smell of fresh coffee and sweet chocolate fills the air.. I'm telling ya... Try it out read more

Wiseman House Chocolates - Espresso beans covered in chocolate & freshly ground coffee - Candy Stores Near Me - Hico, Texas

I have to say I loved this shop. Chocolate was phenomenal and decor was quaint and charming. What I disliked was the fact that the employee was following me and husband around the store as if we were going to steal. My husband and I are hispanic-my friend and her husband were not followed around the store-they are white. It was insulting. I was very close to leaving all of my items due to her behavior. I didn't think at this day and age that people still acted this way. read more

This chocolatier was a great find on our way to Bandera over Labor Day weekend! The historic property with the red tiled roof sits on a corner in Hico, TX and shouldn't be passed by! At Walnut & 2nd street you'll not leave empty handed. Samples are available, but most of all a great variety of various types of chocolates including truffles, toffee, caramels along with specialty gifts. I don't go this way ever and I'm so glad the exterior of the house is so inviting. As I wouldn't have wanted to read more

I didn't take pictures because we were having such a good time. This is a serious hidden gem in Hico. We have been through here a dozen times and never stopped. Well needless to say that won't happen again. This place has some delectable treats. Their toffee and coffee chocolates are some of the best we have had. I can't wait to visit again! PS there are lots of little samples all over the shop!!! Mmmmm read more

Very cute and yummy chocolate shop. Chocolates are made in Hico and sold in this shop. Fortunately there are many opportunities to sample the chocolate before you buy. The shop also has candles, lotions, cute accessories and jewelry. The chocolate is a little pricey buuut, it's not your average Hershey bar. Quality chocolate and great combinations. I definitely will come back during the holidays. The store clerk says they create specialty chocolates with ingredients imported from France. She mentioned chocolate covered cherries that people specifically order during the holidays. Apparently they run out of those very quickly. read more

What a great stop! Superb chocolates in this clean, friendly and pleasant little shop. Excellent variety and a great way to stretch on a road trip. Oh- and they offer samples throughout the store! read more

I'm not a connoisseur, but I can definitely tell the difference between this chocolate and what you get in your typical box of chocolates. If I hadn't seen them featured on a Texas Country Reporter episode (check it out on YouTube), I probably wouldn't have stopped. It doesn't look like much, in my opinion, from the outside, but it is worth checking out. My wife is the chocolate eater, and I wouldn't have paid for the sampler box if had just been me. That being said, it was great! There are samples to enjoy, and other chocolate products and gifts to purchase. Gentlemen...this is an easy way to bring your significant other a little unexpected joy. It's worth it. read more

I have been to Wiseman house twice and both times I found their chocolates amazing. The truffles are delicious, I also purchased the blueberry wild woman chocolate bar, very tasty. I can't wait for their pumpkin spice truffles they tell me they will start making very soon. read more

What can go wrong with chocolate? At the Wiseman House in Hico absolutely nothing! Situated in a charming Victorian style home, Wiseman House is filled to the brim with chocolates both traditional and those that push the envelope. With samples galore. In addition to their own products they also offer chocolates, confections, and gift items from all over. Wiseman House is located on the main drag in Hico just across a side street from the Koffee Kup Family Restaurant. A nice treat after a hearty meal. read more

America's best-kept chocolate secret is Wiseman House Chocolates. They are INSANELY DIVINE! They simply melt in your mouth with an explosion of yumminess. The presentation and packaging are as gourmet as the taste. A perfect gift for anyone who loves chocolate, especially those who are hard to shop for. We are all the way out in CA. The chocolates were shipped and arrived in perfect condition. Our trip to London included a few gourmet chocolate shops, but Wiseman House Chocolates tops the list. Their new dark chocolate-covered European marshmallow is simply divine! A MUST TRY. Thank you for the unexpected delight! Who would think an American Chocolate Company could make the most divine chocolates? Jody Davis read more

What a wonderful surprise to find excellent chocolate truffles in this tiny town of 1,500. And it's been in business for 25 years! We went to Hico, TX (from Dallas go south to Glen Rose then west 20 miles) to visit the Koffee Kup Restaurant known for their pies and this chocolate shop was across the street in an old home. Yes I had pie and chocolate truffles. The shop is so cute with glass cases of chocolate and rooms of gift items. Warmly greeted by two young women, I was offered samples of whatever chocolate I wanted. The number one seller, Wild Woman, is a standout of dark chocolate inside and out. I purchased a 6 pack box of Wild Woman and a 6 pack sampler box and was a very happy camper. They also have tours of their factory that are currently suspended so I will have an excuse to go back and won't ever miss them anytime I'm in the area. Yes they will be on my mail order Christmas list. read more

Cute historical house built in the early 1900's homes a grand selection of chocolates, unique gifts of coffee, soaps, and one of a kind gifts. Beautifully decorated with original floors in tact, this marvelous establishment is one of a kind. We selected a few items, toffee-chocolate-nut covered bark, dark chocolate and peanut butter-chocolate fudge. Everything was delicious! The prices are a little high. The bark was $14.50, small boxed chocolates were $4.50 and the fudge was around $5-6. Well worth the money for this mom and pop store as we love to support our locals. We will be back! It's a must try if you're traveling through Hico. It's across from the Koffee Kup cafe(which is delicious to!). read more

So, so yummy! They give out samples and I spent a ton of money and I have ordered online for V-Day so far, but will order again for Mother's Day as well. The peanut butter meltaways are my favorite. The Chocolate Whiskey ones are my second favorite. But I must say there isn't a bad one in the bunch!!! I think we are planning a girls trip down there to buy in person soon! read more

Wiseman House is hands down my favorite chocolatier here in TX. Lucky to have discovered this charming house filled of handmade chocolates over 8 years ago. I am known to make this 3 hours leisurely drive from and back home out of the blue, just for their nothing but the best chocolates. :) Smooth and Delicious are all of their chocolates. This time, I first had my satisfying bites of "Wild Woman" and "TX Whiskey" truffles as soon as I walked in. Then, I loaded my basket of "Peanut Butter Meltaways" & "Cappuccino Chips" as gifts! An insulated bag I have in my car for the chocolates, noticing that they have insulted bags for sale there now also. With TX heat, it's a must! CHEERS! read more

What surprise when we found this place while traveling in Texas. Quaint shop and the chocolate is to die for. Lots of samples , so you know what you are buying. Very friendly staff. read more

We took the long way home from Waco to avoid driving through Ft Worth and discovered this cute little shop. I wish we'd had more time to explore the whole town!! Beyond chocolates, the gift shop was delightful and cute. We loved the samples and we all got back in the car with goodies! The caramel pecan cluster was the best I've ever had. The pecan toffee was thin and tasty. My son ate two pieces of his crunchy almond brittle and asked for more. He loved it. My husband got the sample pack with a cluster, almond toffee and peanut meltaways. It was a great way to get a little of everything. read more

This place is great. The people who work there are great and very helpful. The house is beautiful and the chocolate is amazing. I had the soft salted caramels and they are some of the best I ever had. I only was going to eat 1 but ended up eating both of them and if I had an entire box I think that they all could have disappeared. I look forward to going back and trying more of their wonderful chocolates. I love the house it is in too. It is easy to find. Stop and enjoy you never know what little happy things you will find inside. read more

Love this place. Glad I don't live closer or all my clothes wouldn't fit! Great stop headed to Fredericksburg from DFW. They have several yummy gluten and dairy free options. Love the GF / DF chocolate covered pretzels, gummy bears and the dried cherry and almond discs. The espresso chocolate is wake me up strong. I can have goat milk and the goat milk caramel sauces are delicious! If you want to know what's DF / GF just ask the staff as they have a book and will show you. Super friendly staff ALWAYS!! A must stop and you can fill up your gas tank across the street! read more

Have been stopping here for around 7 years. Best toffees and chocolates! Gift items are also great.

Gorgeous building and interior - with SO MUCH CHOCOLATE! Sadly, the young woman working there wasn't very informed about the ingredients in their chocolate - she seemed to think that all chocolate has dairy by default, and wasn't willing to attempt to contact the workshop a few blocks away by phone to ask. I didn't bother to ask about where they get their chocolate for the house made items -- I figured that would just confuse her since she tried to explain to me that chocolate % indicated how much dairy and sugar they contained (rather than chocolate mass). The candied orange peels dipped in dark chocolate appeared to use dark chocolate without dairy so I got those to try them out. I would be very happy to spend a hundred bucks here if they had a notebook or cards with the ingredients for items or some kind of indication of dairy-free items. I love chocolate and I love supporting local businesses... and I go out of my way for places that also have great customer service. Hoping to visit here again! read more

Lovely place, tidbits of some of the products are available. Sad to hear employees grumbling about their pay, perhaps it's the Universe letting them know this job was great in high school, but now it's time to grow up, get some skills and education, and get your career plan launched. read more

What an ADORABLE place to go shopping when on the road! It's in this older Victorian house with a few different rooms filled with home goods, tea towels, books, OF COURSE CHOCOLATE and more! We found the perfect stocking stuffers for our family and can't wait to go back. BEST CHOCOLATE. read more

I saw the sign for Wiseman chocolates on the side of a truck while driving home from Austin to Fort Worth on Christmas Eve Day. I stopped thinking I haven't seen any good independent chocolate stores in a long time. While I felt a bit overwhelmed by the Southern Living Decor that looked like a magazine spread and felt underdressed in jeans, the ladies behind the counter were ultra friendly and made me feel at home. They were also patient when I could not make up my mind what I wanted and even re rang my order with a smile when I decided to add more to it and said "don't worry, it happens all the time". Friendly people and a nice place. But the chocolate? WOW. Wow. Wow. I ate a piece out of my box on the porch as I was leaving. Just pure bliss. Smooth and rich. Truly some of the best if not the best chocolate I've ever had and in my short time on earth I have consumed a lot of chocolate! Well worth stopping. When I asked if I should go for BBQ or go to the Koffee Kup, The ladies told me that the BBQ only did catering now but If I went to the Koffee Kup I would find some good food. They were quite right. Stop at the Wiseman House and feed your sweet tooth! read more

The best handcrafted chocolate truffles in Texas!!! While all the truffles are delicious at the Wiseman House, I love the Snookie and Wild Woman. I've tasted a number of highly rated chocolate truffles in and around Austin and the Wiseman House chocolate truffles are simply the best. If you're a chocolate lover or wanting to send someone a gift, I recommend ordering from the Wiseman House online and having them delivered to your door. I've sent their chocolates all over the country and the recipients all say they are the best they've had. These chocolates are worth the wait! read more

Cute house, with great chocolate! Stopped in here on my way home from a trip, and lucky us they were having a 35% off sale!! Not only were there signs everywhere about it- we were told as soon as we set foot in the door. This place has everything chocolate! Truffles, clusters, toffee, chocolate covered fruits, etc. They have dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and some white chocolate. The clusters are wonderful and the toffee too! If you are in the area this place is a real treat! Best part- they have samples so you can try before you buy! Awesome! And the Wild Woman Blueberry Almond bar was sinfully delicious!! I almost at the entire bar in one sitting. I had never heard of or had the Belgian dark chocolate, but well worth the price! The only disappointment for me was that they did not have dark chocolate peanut butter pieces. Other than that a great experience here and if I'm ever driving through again I will definitely stop! read more

I'm in Stephenville visiting my parents for my Spring Break. We were headed to Waco Wednesday night to do some Painting w/ a Twist and we decided to stop in while we passed through Hico to see if we could procure some goodies! My mom was gracious enough to let me get both the mini jar of Fudge sauce, which I've never tried from them before. I also got their last little sampler of general goodies, and then went further to let me pick up a sampler of their most popular truffles. I remember when I was at SFA for the first time, which was a failure, but not the point, I do graduate from SFA in May. But anyways my mom surprised me once back in 2006 my previous stay in Nacogdoches w/ a box of literally the biggest pecan turtles I'd ever seen in my life. I think I did share a wee bit, but that was my first taste of Wiseman House and it was amazing. I don't get to make the 5 hour trip between Nacogdoches and Stephenville as much as I'd like and most times am unable to stop at Wiseman House, so I'm thoroughly excited to have a small stock pile! I'm almost too afraid to eat any of it! read more

Oh my goodness! This adorable little chocolate shop holds many treasures! First of all, their chocolate is absolutely exquisite! They offer multiple samples that are set out so you can try different types of chocolates. They also sell coffee beans here. We bought a bag of the chocolate hazelnut and have been blown away by how delicious the coffee is!!! It's not normal that the smell of the beans is as good as the coffee but WOW!!! I'm thinking it's worth the 1.5 hr trip back just to stock up on coffee beans! They also sell adorable gifts and have unique knick-knacks. If you are driving through Hico, TX, definitely stop here and enjoy some sweets! read more

Thank you Wiseman House of Chocolate! Once again you have helped me with my gift list. The sample of delectable sipping chocolate sealed the deal. Wow, it was so much better than the name! Naturally Wild Woman dark chocolate truffle is still my all time favorite. I love the little sample jars scattered around the house. Used to time my drives on highway 281 to store hours, yes it's that fabulous! Now I make a special trip or hit the website. Must try to become a believer. read more
