Today, there are more than 100 different type of chocolates and candies available to purchase. Each of See’s Candies shops have a black and white checkered theme that transports visitors back in time. One of the best thing about visiting See’s Candies is that each visitor gets to try a piece of candy upon entering the store. The main headquarters are located in San Fransisco, California, but you can check their website for stores hear you that carry their products. When visiting a store make sure and ask for a sample of their very popular Toffee-ettes.

Christopher Norman Chocolates

Their Chief chocolate officer, John Down, uses his arts background to add an interesting aesthetic appeal to his chocolates. The goal is to provide an experience that arouses the senses. From the hand painted truffles to the handmade chocolate bars, there’s a lot of diversity in this chocolate. Their factory is located in Hudson, New York. You can also find their products in many Whole Foods stores.

Honorable Mention:
Lindt Chocolates
Lindt Chocolates made our list because not only is it easily accessible, but it’s affordable as well. This chocolate can be found in many grocery or department stores, but it’s not your average chocolate. It’s rich and creamy and you can tell that a lot of quality ingredients are used. Favorites among customers include Lindt’s truffles as well as their boxed chocolate.

For those that are the ultimate chocolate lovers, they should consider going on a chocolate tour.
