These are great!

I like these a lot, esp. the caramels.

Thanks for all the great suggestions!

Here is just part of one great review on Black Dinah:

After making my way through the box I realized that these were the best chocolates I have ever had. I'm not always a chocolate lover. It takes A LOT to impress me. I've tried tons of artisanal chocolates, and even consulted to a chocolatier, helping design new liquor and wine fillings. So when I say these are the best, I mean the BEST!


AND Lake Champlain chocolates can be purchased at Whole Foods ... not so special, really.

I used to work with him--he's also a super nice guy and a great dad. But the chocolate is AMAZING.

I'd like to send my mother-in-law a really nice box of chocolates for Christmas. Any suggestions on excellent chocolatiers?
