My uncle is a mail carrier in a wealthy neighborhood. During the holiday season, he is showered with boxes of See’s Candies as a token of «Thanks for putting bills into that box at the front of our house.» My uncle is also a very generous man, and he would kick down a couple white boxes to our family so that we could pick through the truffles like we were playing Mine Sweeper trying to avoid the dreaded raspberry chocolate(too gooey). My point is that the pinnacle of my chocolate tasting began and ended with the«Assorted Chocolate Mix» from See’s. Then I ate Neapolitan chocolates. God-dang. Artisan truffles like crazy. Makes See’s taste like balls of sugar enrobed in sugary brown putty. My favorite: Ants on a Log, tastes just like peanut butter scooped onto a celery stalk with soft chocolate all around, and raisins on top.(Christ, I’m salivating now.) My 2nd favorite: Fig and Fennel, vegan friendly! My 3rd favorite: The chocolatier. Every bit as handsome as Anna B.(below) mentions.(PS If ya’ll can take your eyes off his cutey mustache long enough, check out his booty. That white boy has got an ass on him!)

I’ve been keeping an eye on this place for quite some time now, just barely keeping myself from entering Stalker Status. See, I have a huge crush on The Chocolate Man With The Awesome Mustache. Don’t be fooled by the name… this«Printing» company makes exquisitely crafted, artisan chocolates of totally unexpected flavors. While it is tricky to catch the physical shop open(randomly at night, I’ve noticed, whilst spying from around the corner), you can buy these fabulous little works of edible art a few doors down at Gladstone Coffee and Pizza or inquire via their website. Some flavors I’ve seen: lavender, lychee, green tea, ants-on-a-log, and I kid you not: Bosnian Beef and Feta. I had to re-read that ingredient list about five times before that one clicked; see photo for proof. In addition to beautifully printed chocolates, they also make Mustaches on a Stick and Choc-Obamas( ). You too, can own your very own bust of our 44th President, friends. Mysterious, mustachioed Chocolate Man: post some regular retail hours and I will come visit you and your adorable truffles, thanks.
