Did you know that it takes about four hundred pounds of cacao beans to make a single pound of chocolate?

If you would like to enjoy a chocolate treat, head to one of the following shops:

Sweet Pete's

When Peter Behringer was eleven years old, his mother opened a family chocolate business that grew to thirty-two locations. After college, Peter honed his chocolate-making skills and decided to open his own shop in a whimsically decorated historic home. His creations gained attention, and the store was featured on the reality series, The Profit. The staff is dedicated to offering one of the sweetest destinations around, and the selection includes classic malt balls, milk chocolate almond toffee, and classic chocolate walnuts.

Kilwins

Since 1947, Kilwins has been known for providing quality chocolates and confections combined with exceptional customer service. The shop offers an authentic sensory and taste experience like none other and the chocolatiers make the treats using original recipes and premium ingredients. Choices include milk chocolate sea salt caramels, dark toffee bars, and milk coconut clusters.

Peterbrooke Chocolates

Peterbrooke was founded in the early 1980s with a mission to bring the art of European chocolate making the United States.
