Twelve Foodie Days of Christmas: Day 7 – For the Chocoholic
Chocoholics can usually be spotted by their tin foil trails and brown speckled clothing. The fastest way in to their good books is to come prepared with the kind of chocolate that’ll leave them speechless. We’re not even speaking figuratively here. They’ll be too busy chewing these treats to ask why you aren’t married yet. It’s Day 7 of the Twelve Days of Foodie Gifts and we’re embracing a chocolate covered Christmas.
Wouldn’t life be better if everything was chocolate dipped? Well, the fine folks at Chocolateria are leading the crusade towards a chocolate covered future with their variety of drenched treats. Chips, pretzels, nuts, and fruit are on the menu, and we’d like to volunteer our arms to be next for chocolate drenching. Just don’t overlook their variety of truffles, or seasonal treats (even “Reindeer Poop”). We don’t think you can go wrong, unless you don’t visit The Chocolateria.
Odile grew up in France, making truffles with her mother each Christmas. Since you might not have the know how to make truffles for the ones you love (or a mother you can stand collaborating with), make sure the ones you buy have a taste of home. Love and a whole bunch of natural ingredients go in to each delicious piece. Not to mention a fine collection of spirits, wines, spices, herbs, and flowers. It’ll be impossible to go back to the boring stuff.
Soma could give Wonka a run for his money. Experimenting with cacao in their local laboratories, the menu is always changing to suit the mood. From chocolate salami to realistic looking stuffed chocolate twigs, these folks know how to stuff stockings. And whether it’s a bar, a lunchbox full of treats, or their incredible big box, it’ll never be enough. Luckily they’ve got two locations flooding the city with the good stuff!
The Kris Kingle Crawl is coming up fast, and we’re touring the city for the best gifts and eats simultaneously. A gift certificate towards any of our 2014 food experiences is the next best thing!
