The texture might not be as sophisticated and smooth on the first bite - but when their boldness (good chocolate outside) and softness (inside) collide in the mouth, their passion and purity are well received on my tongue.

The best place for filled chocolates!…read more A day before valentine's day, this year I decided to try this place for a gift for my partner. Glad to finally try this well-reputed little chocolatier! I tried coming here a few days prior after work, but I couldn't find a parking and gave up. Street parking is only available until 4pm on Queen S E. So I came here around lunch time. The store was full of customers with the same purpose! They got pre-packaged gift boxes (mixed with milk, dark and white chocolate with more milk kinds), but I wanted to select on my own as my partner loves dark. I picked 12pcs. Here are the memorable ones. # Cupidon (dark chocolate ganache) : Simplest but best!!!! If you like dark, it is a must try. # Grand Marnier: Dark chocolate filled with super light Grand Marnier flavored whipped butter cream, with chunky nuts. Yummmmm!! # Truffle: Dark chocolate truffle filled in cocoa powder - loaded with cocoa flavor. So smooth. Loved it! # Scotch: Be prepared. It has real scotch inside. Don't bite. Liquor runs on tongue as chocolate melts. Eyeopening and delish! #Rum: Same as above! # Tresor : white chocolate truffle cream, classic. # Iresh Cream: Super creamy filling. # Moka: OMG. Usually milk chocolate is not my favourite but this one is excellent. Mild milk chocolate (outside) releasing cacao flavour then I met really really smooth buttercream coming out next. Delicate....! # Citron: Rich lemon buttercream is perfectly matching the dark chocolate. # Caramel : Smooth, not sticky! The dark chocolate shell brings out the sweet caramel flavour. Another delicate one. All the filled chocolate had thin shell and smooth fillings. Flavour of the shell (dark, milk and white) is delicately matched with the character of the fillings. I personally think their buttercream ones are excellent with super smooth texture. What I liked most about this place was that their texture is not monotone. I did not get bored at all. Appreciated each pieces flavour and delicacy. Highly highly recommended!

I purchased sour peaches, key rings, and large bubble gum balls. It made for really cute decor on my counter near the desserts I served to family and friends. I placed them in a variety of different height glass vases. Checkout was seamless and as someone who never weighs their bulk items and plays the guessing game - I actually was able to spend under $20 for all my items. The employee asked if I would like a bag and I said sure. It was 0.15 cents for a tall paper bag. I unfortunately found out that cinnamon hearts are seasonal?! Am I the only silly goofy one who wants these year round?! Anyways....I'm over it I swear. Can't wait until they come back out in January/February! Overall this is a good store for of course, all your bulk items. However they do have a more health conscious aisle just as you walk in that is worth it to check out if you are paleo.

Inside, the store is covered floor to ceiling with endless varieties of chocolates and chocolate-related stuff. The chocolate is great quality, because they make everything from Callebaut chocolate. Try the bars, or the melt-in-your-mouth truffles (caramel or plain are my favs). Me being a bit of a chocolate snob, I'd say this place is the only chocolate store in Hamilton I would buy chocolate from.

Quality chocolate has a subtle silkiness to it, and Forrat's definitely delivers on that silkiness. Every time I walk in to the store, the lovely shopkeeper is working behind the counter on a new batch of handmade chocolates.

I was so blown away by all the different candies and treats they had! The selection is incredible. The most impressive of all is the shop owner, Paula. Not only is she kind and friendly, but she took the time to get to know us, share information about the neighbourhood, and tell us more about her store. The chocolate selection is unparalleled. We were walked through each type of chocolate, where it's produced, and a little backstory about each bar available. I was blown away with Paula's knowledge and you can really tell she is passionate about the products she carries. We grabbed a mix. One of the bean to bar chocolate bars, a lion chocolate bar, and a mixed back of candy. They scoop for you and I wanted to try a mix so I left it up to the pros and I'm so glad I did. Everything was delicious :)
