Middlebury Chocolates

Awesome Chocolate! Also, my wife said she had the best Mocha she’s ever had and that’s saying something. She’s tried a lot of Mochas and was a Barista so do yourself a favor and stop by!

I’ve never had truffles quite like these. There should almost be a whole, new word for these delectable morsels of chocolate goodness — the old word «truffle» does not quite do them justice.
Let me start by saying I am not a huge chocolate fan. I mean, I’ll eat it and like it, I even crave it once in a while… but I am not a fanatic.
If all chocolates tasted like these, I’d be converted.
They had five different kinds, and each was excellent: classic dark, sea salt, traditional spiced (my favorite), cardamom-​vanilla, and three chili. The flavors were bold but not overbearing, complimenting the not-​to-​sweet chocolate to let the coca shine through.
But what I really loved was the texture. Almost like a very good mochi (Japanese rice cake), but not as sticky, they had a subtly chewy bite to them.
In addition to their house-​made truffles, they offer a variety of high-​end choclate bars, which I did not try, but of which have uploaded pictures for your benefit.
The also offer an array of desserts, which we did not try this time. Tiramisu ($ ⁴⁄₆), for example, or tres leches ($ ⁴⁄₆) and flan ($ 5.)
There were several students there, tapping on their laptops, connected, no doubt, to the complimentary WiFi. Furnishings were sparse, but it could get homier over time.
This is a fantastic place, and I wish for the them all sorts of success. If you come to Middlebury, VT, don’t miss this hidden gem.
