Pick Up Treats from Albuquerque Chocolate Shops

Indulge Your Sweet Tooth at Albuquerque Chocolate Shops

When you want a sweet treat that melts in your mouth, the offerings at Albuquerque chocolate shops won't disappoint. You'll find everything from peanut butter cups to raspberry truffles. The shops near ourAlbuquerque apartments include:

Eldora Chocolate 

Steve Prickett learned the basics of chocolate making online. His first eight batches were failures. While the chocolate tasted good, it didn't look good. Steve quickly learned, and today, he proudly owns Eldora Chocolate. It's where the treats "engage the soul and inspire the senses." Don't miss the delectable truffles. Flavors include bourbon, cookie dough, and blood orange. You can shop in-store or order online, and your sweets will arrive at your door. 

Chocolate Dude 

Featuring a fun, hippie vibe, Chocolate Dude offers a fun experience in Nob Hill. Kick back with a good book, or challenge your friends to one of the many board games. Treats include almond clusters, peanut butter cups, and dark chocolate & raspberry bars. Be sure and enjoy your sweets with a cup of Mexican hot chocolate made with cinnamon and Mexican red chilies. If you're short on time, order online for easy pickup. 

The Chocolate Cartel 

Certified master chocolatier Scott Van Rixel opened The Chocolate Cartel in Taos after turning old jail cells into tasting rooms. Not surprisingly, the shop quickly gained attention. It moved to Albuquerque in 2009, and the team makes everything by hand. They create in small batches and source many ingredients from local vendors. Offerings include dark chocolate toffee and salt bars, chocolate-covered almonds, and assorted truffle boxes. 

After visiting one of these chocolate shops, relax at home with a book by Andy Weir. It will keep you entertained until the very last page.
