Every speciality, explained
Truffles and Bonbons
Truffles and bonbons are the heart of most chocolatier counters: a ganache or praline centre, either rolled and dusted or enrobed in a tempered shell.
97 shops listed
Artisan Chocolatiers
Artisan chocolatiers make their own confections in small batches rather than reselling mass-produced boxes, and some go further and make chocolate from the bean.
191 shops listed
Fudge Shops
Fudge is cooked sugar, butter and milk, beaten as it cools so it sets into fine crystals with a soft, dense bite.
126 shops listed
Hot Chocolate and Chocolate Cafes
Chocolate cafes pair a retail counter with somewhere to sit, and the drink to order is usually a drinking chocolate made from melted chocolate rather than cocoa powder.
294 shops listed
Candy and Confectionery Stores
Candy and confectionery stores carry chocolate alongside everything else sweet: brittles, caramels, taffy and nostalgic brands.
2,222 shops listed
Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries and Treats
Chocolate-dipped strawberries, pretzels and dried fruit are made close to sale because fresh fruit does not keep.
104 shops listed
Chocolate and Candy Gift Shops
