DB Infusion Chocolates

Oh DB, you saucy saucy minx!
This is the kind of box of gems that I want to receive. These chocolate babes are beautiful and extremely tasty. Like punch you in the face with flavor tasty.
There is great care and quality put into the crafting of these deliciously gorgeous chocolates.
My favorites are:
Caramel apple pie
S’more
Vanilla crème brûlée
Drinking chocolate– any variety
They have a nice seating area to enjoy a flight of chocolates (served on a decorative rock, just go, you’ll see), or a loverly hot cocoa.
The chocolates are very premium so expect to fork out $ 2 per chocolate. All are unique, so even if you don’t love the ones you pick, they are guaranteed to be interesting and an experience.

Impressive array of infused chocolate. Bought a box of 8 varieties along with the hot chocolate they had sampled — Mayan Hot Chocolate. That hot chocolate is definitely not your typical hot chocolate. Had a kick of spice, but went down smoothly. We bought a bag for ourselves and for my husband’s family as we were visiting them over the holidays. They enjoyed it immensely too. One bag was enough for the 6 of us! The infused chocolate was yummy… some pieces were more delicious than others. Not cheap, but considering the quality and the uniqueness of the chocolate pieces, it’s worth the price to taste chocolate mixes you haven’t tried before.

I was totally impressed by the quality of chocolate that this chocolatier offers. You can definitely tell it with the dark chocolate pieces. I recommend the seasonal apple caramel and the smores. The cocoa nib and banana pieces are excellent as well. Flavors can be intense especially with the thai peanut butter and Szechuan peppercorn. But, they are still delicious. Everyone will have their favorites and not so favorites. Worth the trip and extra expense. If you cannot make it to the store… order online and they ship out quickly.

Fantastic hand crafted gourmet chocolates from a small shop in Hilldale. Very creative flavor combinations and beautifully decorated and designed. Not cheap but worth it for this quality of chocolate. The staff is friendly, helpful and ready to make recommendations.

Bought a big box of chocolates this week from what appeared to be the woman owner. Very unfriendly and both my wife and I felt rushed and if she couldn’t wait for us to get out of the store. What a shame– even though the chocolate was good it’s not worth the price of such poor service.
We will not be coming back.

Such a great shop. They have beautiful (and yummy) chocolates, and drinks that you can sample!

No other chocolate compares! Each chocolate is hand crafted and takes days from start to finish. The staff is very knowledgable and incredibly helpful when asked for suggestions. My favorites are the pistachio ganache, vanilla crème brûlée, the seasonal caramel apple pie. Drinking chocolate is a must — they offer it hot or over ice depending on the seasons.
A must stop if in Madison!

This place is great, nice customer service, and great chocolate.
They have the coolest designs and milk and dark chocolate, and I loved that they had a vanilla bean.
This place is really the best chocolate place in Wisconsin

I’ve only been once so far, but I can’t wait to come back! Before this I’ve only ever gone to Candinas, but I wanted to try something new for my birthday. They’re pretty on par, but the flavors are more interesting, which was welcomed after three years of the same chocolate place. Although one chocolate I had (vanilla, passion fruit) was too overpowering for my taste. The strawberry one was almost too overpowering, but didn’t quite hit the same level, thankfully. I absolutely loved whichever spicy one I had. It was the perfect blend between spice and chocolate. I can’t wait to try other ones! I prefer Candianas chai over DB’s though.
The staff was also incredibly nice!

We had DB Infusion Chocolates create our wedding favors for our wedding just a week ago. After many back and forth emails, they created chocolate masterpieces in a «His & Hers» format — 2 pieces of my husband’s picks (Pistachio and Salted Carmel) and 2 pieces of my picks (Espresso and Coconut) boxed and wrapped in different colored ribbon. Our wedding guests could not stop talking about the chocolate! They loved the idea and many of them bragged about sneaking multiple sets of chocolates because they were that good. Whitney with DB was extremely easy to work with and very professional. I highly recommend DB Infusion Chocolates for any event!

My favorite chocolates in Madison, and that’s saying something considering the competition. DB Chocolates hits the trifecta of chocolate making: smooth, delicious chocolate; inventive flavor combinations; and beautiful presentation.

I was recently at the Hilldale location. I ordered a hot chai tea latte to go. As I was walking out to my car, I lifted the cup to my mouth, and the drink boiled over through the hole in the to-​go lid and burned my lip, upper lip, nose, and hands. The liquid must have been boiling when it was put in the cup, and with the lid on and minimal venting, it literally exploded. I wrote an email to the company and received no response. I like the chocolates here, but this was a horrible experience. I received second degree burns to my lips/​face/​nose and hands, and no response is really unprofessional.

Unimpressed, though my assessment may be inaccurate. Here’s why:
It was a rather brisk and windy January day (I’d say zero degrees out in all honesty) and the chocolates were just too beautiful that I knew I needed to get a great picture. And this of course entails natural lighting… you know the drill.
Sooo here’s me, sitting on a snow-​coated bench holding my little truffle trying to strike the perfect angle with my smartphone. And for starters the shop is situated in the center of the outdoor Hilldale Mall, so there were plenty of passersby questioning my sanity. Buuuut I needed this picture, so who cares.
The real action began when this crazy strong gust of wind swooped down, sending my truffle flying in the air and into a gray-​colored snowbank. Booo.
This didn’t stop me. I still needed that picture, and maybe a bite??? Five second rule, right? Indeed.
I dug my way through that mass of tainted snow and delicately extracted my S’mores truffle, took my picture, took a bite, somewhat uncertainly… only to discover, it was just A-​OK.

The chocolates are beautiful and I have always received very good service. But it is also very pricey, and the flavors can sometimes be hit or miss. All in all, it’s definitely worth checking out whenever you’re in the area!
Get the drinking chocolate. Always.

Pricey… very much so.
But, hey, if you wanna impress, that goes out the window. What’s left is quality. And DB Infusion Chocolates provides premium quality… and a lot of very interesting flavors.

The chocolates here are so delicious! They are a nice treat to myself one or two times per year.
They are so pretty you almost don’t want to eat them.
My favorite is the exotic caramel.

This place is quite a splurge, but for these edible works of art, it’s totally worth it! They make memorable gifts for chocolate lovers (even those who claim to not be fans of chocolate, like myself, will eat their words). The 16 piece box makes a perfect gift for that special someone, while the 2 piece (or even the 4 piece box) makes a nice treat for yourself!

I got these chocolates as a gift once. The combinations are innovative. Overall, I ended up liking the more predictable flavors than the creative ones. I would highly recommend the key lime, passion fruit and crème brûlée. They are not cheap, but I would consider buying them as a gift or as a splurge for myself. They would make an impressive gift because they are very beautiful and colorful!

This is definitely more of a treat place than a chronic stop. The quality and appearance of DB’s handcrafted chocolates and truffles fetch a pretty decent price, but that’s to be expected. If nothing else, it’ll keep you appreciating it more. You’ll notice that people take smaller bites of everything as the price tag climbs.
Flavors aren’t always perfect, but a lot of that is up to the consumer. I’m not a fan of earl grey tea, so I don’t like truffles with earl grey. But, odds are good that if it’s got anything with coconut or banana, I’m hooked. Odds are good that, with the reasonably sizable and regularly changing variety, you’ll find at least a few pieces that’ll catch your interest.
I like stopping here after Sushi Muramoto since it’s so close by. I love my sushi and sake and all, but not so much that I want to have it be the last thing I taste. And I lke to bring chocolates to my girl when I’m in the area. These treats go a long way in relationships.

This hot chocolate is swimmingly rich. I don’t even know what I mean by that, but it is. It’s like letting a chocolate melt in your mouth (but it’s already melted?)… I was intrigued by the Mayan Hot Chocolate but think the regular Milk Chocolate was actually better. The corn in the Mayan one freaked me out a bit and it wasn’t as flavorful. Not that I wouldn’t have another if offered! They are hand-​crushed and blended right then and there.
These chocolates are delectable and with seasonal varieties, you can always try something new! Good tip about eating in being cheaper… but I got a bunch to go. :) My friends and I split a big box, and we had no issue tasting flavors or figuring out which was which… these flavors come through strong and they are also handpainted.
