Go to Balducci’s and purchase Neuhaus there. No need to drive far. And other nice brands too, if you want to browse.

Yes! I learned of Velati's only about a decade ago. They are 100+ years old and this year, we gave their caramels at Christmas to an 80-something neighbor and a 60-something friend, both of whom grew up here and expressed great joy and nostalgia. Have looked at but not yet purchased their truffles.

Neuhaus is the best chocolates. Old Belgian brand. Tons better than Bethesda Chocolate.

Neuhaus in Bethesda.

I have liked Bethesda Chocolates in the past.

In Kentlands...they make the truffles there. They used to do a tour of the process before Covid.

I live in Bethesda but Rockville’s Spagnvola wins for best chocolate available in the DMV.

You mean Gaithersburg’s Spagnvola.

I was there on Friday. They are temporarily closed according to a sign on the door. Not sure if it was just that day or longer.

Neuhaus! They have a small shop on Bethesda Row.

It’s not in MoCo but Chocolate House in DuPont circle has the prettiest truffle boxes and they deliver.

There’s a chocolate store in Bethesda on Woodmont about a block from Henrys. I think a woman trained in Europe and came back to open her own store, maybe called Bethesda Chocolates?

I want to thank someone for helping out my family during a difficult time and am looking for some really nice chocolate, which I know they like. I’m in the Rockville area and would rather not travel to DC or VA if I don’t have to. I read about Henry’s Sweet Treats in Bethesda but don’t know how their chocolate is. I also thought of checking out the selection of boxed chocolates at Balducci’s. Any other recommendations?
