Van Otis Truffles

OMG! So glad I Unilocaled this place and tried it! Delicious!!! chocolate fans – a MUST try. And it’s in my town!!! I am hooked!!!

There is no chocolate out there that compares to a Van Otis truffle, it is in a league all its own. A family favorite for as long as I can remember. The small 4 packs for only $ 3.25 are a delectable little token of appreciation to go along with a card etc. (ie. Ill be getting these for teacher appreciation week as my kids have many teachers and it adds up, this way I don’t over spend but still feel as if I have gotten them something special.)

Best Truffles in the Merrimack Valley maybe even in the world. The staff is very helpful and it’s worth the trip here from any where mmm I can taste then now

A previous reviewer compared the truffles to the inside of a Lindt — that’s a perfect description! They really do melt in your mouth. Everyone I shared them with loved them.
This is a cute little shop in the front of a big house on Main Street with little square truffles displayed in a case and pre-​boxed truffles along the wall. They come in milk, dark and white, all with or without nuts. They also had diabetic-​friendly versions. There are samples out so you can try before you buy, and the woman who assisted me was very nice and helpful. Van Otis has their own lot, so no need to parallel park on the street. Its also handicapped/​stroller accessible.

I was given the chocolate as a gift. When I opened the box I thought it was fudge… but it is NOT fudge. It is the creamiest smoothest mouth melting chocolate you will ever taste. Think the inside of Lindt chocolate truffles BUT way better.

Ever since I was a kid, the call of «I’m going to Van Otis, do you want anything?» would make my ears perk up. Of course the answer was «Hell yes!» Van Otis was an institution in Lawrence for almost 40 years on Andover Street. Just last year, they closed up shop and moved to this location. Traditionally, Van Otis closes for the summer due to the delicate nature of their product.
Van Otis specializes in truffles. Just like any business that specializes in just one product, they do just truffles and they do them oh so well! These aren’t those little round bon bon style truffles you might be used to from the froo froo stores. These truffles are small square pieces of heaven. Does the shape affect their taste? Not one iota. They will melt in your mouth … if you can stand to savor them.
Their truffles come in Milk, Dark and White chocolate and you can get them with pecans or without. Prices are in range for specialty chocolates $ 18 per pound, $ 9 per half pound and so on.
That’s it. End of story. Go to Van Otis, leave with truffles. It’s just that easy.
