The only 'candy' chocolate I like are M&Ms, and then only a few at a time.Originally Posted by why
I really, really, like Burdick Chocolates (www.burdickchocolate.com), which opened a shop in NYC recently. gdl, you ought to go there and check it out. It's near CEGO. The flavors profiles are complex, but they have a good sense of restraint. If you don't live in New Hampshire, in the Boston area, or in NYC, they will Fedex the stuff to you. It's worth it. I would put them up against any of the boutique chocolatiers in Europe. They are definitely a step above anything else I've found in the States.Originally Posted by LA Guy
. I find Leonidas and Godiva generally pretty awful.Originally Posted by gdl203
I am not big on chocolates, but I know people who think that neuhouse is much better than leonidas.Originally Posted by globetrotter
I agree with that. Out of the big guys, Neuhaus is much better than Leonidas or Godiva.Originally Posted by gdl203
Of those available in NYC, I like Marcolini and Debauve & Gallais the most. Maison du Chocolat is also pretty good. I find Leonidas and Godiva generally pretty awful.Originally Posted by gdl203
where does one find these (marcolini, d&g) in nyc?Originally Posted by romafan
Marcolini is midtown. D&G is further up on Mad (never visited the NY store but often bring back some chocolates from Paris)Originally Posted by gdl203
I'm curious, is a best chocolate, like this pierre marcollini, something that would appeal to everyone who tries it, or do these chocolates require some sort of 'sophisticated' palate?Originally Posted by somatoform
If you are looking for something local, I know someone who is a chocolate connoisseur and he recommends Moonstruck Chocolate in Portland. http://www.moonstruckchocolate.com.Originally Posted by Scrumhalf
