Michael Mischer Chocolates

V-day’s a’coming and it’s time to gear up with sweets for your sweetheart or something decadent to drown your sorrows in.
Our pick: Michael Mischer’s chocolate. Everything is made in the on-site kitchen, so even ducking inside for a quick whiff is sweet. Truffles are made from 65% cacao, single origin criollo, which makes for a rich dream of a shell. Inside, the treats are filled with fresh flavors using local ingredients whenever possible. Mischer’s Grand Avenue shop is the only place his truffles are available.
Also on sale are Mischer’s cookies and fancy chocolate bars. The top seller is milk chocolate with toffee, but the bittersweet bar with cocoa nibs isn’t far behind.
A small box of six chocolates of your choice starts at $9, so whether you’re trying to make an impression or lift your depression, this is the place to go.
