You will get your chance.
She makes truffles, usually very dark chocolate with some sort of aroma such as fresh mint, wild fennel, Chinese five-spice or Port (which I like the most but apparently cannot be sold); also some other confections made of very dark chocolate and containing dried fruits and almonds and crunchy things. She has consented to send samples to an appropriate Southern California get-together.
She also makes astonishingly good caramel salee (French salted caramel), but for the most part does not combine it with her chocolates. (As you might have gathered the business is primarily in the nature of a hobby, but when some people wanted to buy them she was flattered enough to print up labels.)
Best chocolate in the world...
Foversta's recent post (http://timeout.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost/fi-686/pi-2853376/ti-476691/s-0/) about chocolate had me thinking. Who makes the best chocolate in the world? Switzerland? Paris? New York? So where have you had the tastiest mouthwate...
BRUSSELS ...
This is a very difficult question. In my opinion, the best chocolate in the world is too find everywhere .... in Brussels you have "Godiva" (not bad) but the tops are "Wittamer" and "Pierre Marcolini", you can find all these in Brussels at the "Sablon/Zav...

Hello Filip! Those tea flavored ones look good, especially the Earl Grey tea. What's the 'Equater' flavor? -MW
Hi MW ...
The flavors are all special .... but it has been a while since i bought them (because i ate too much of them ... LOLOL) ... equateur-flavor is a dark chocolate with a dark bitter chocolate-cream i think .... . You can't go wrong with these chocolates, the...

They have a branch on Newbury st, in Boston. "Oh look, whoever noticed before that there was a watch dealer next door. I'll just stop in for a minute while you buy chocolate....." ;-) A...
The Santa Monica Chocolate Company!
I.e., my wife, who supplies chocolates to friends and a few select customers (primarily gift-basket makers during the holidays). Her chocolates are quite outstanding. In France, I like Foucher and Laduree; in the United States, La Maison du Chocolat (alth...

I volunteer to be a Q.C./taste tester for her! =) What kind of chocolates does she make? We had Lauderee but only for macaroons, got to try their chocolate next time we go to Paris. -MW

I used to vote for Neuhaus, but...
After enjoying a box of Jeff de Bruges 2 months ago, that become the new standard .
Neuhaus is great!
Hello ATM, They had a store in the Hollywood & Highland complex here in the Los Angeles area many years ago. Very good. -MW
nice choices
i'd say it depends whether you're getting them fresh. those chocolatiers are like patisseries that make macarons - if they're not fresh, they don't taste the same. i actually prefer pierre herme's macarons to his chocolates. payard truffles are good. but ...
