Well, all I know is this place rocks so much I had a flashback to childhood walking in the door! You got your selection of gummy bears (or fish, or worms, or whatever else is gummy). There's a healthy selection of bars, even a huge Charleston Chew (pun intended). Sour candy, nutty candy, fruity candy, chocolate candy.. I'm thinking you have already taken a mind-trip to Willy Wonka"s. The real treasure is behind the counter. Various flavors of truffles, pralines (chocolate praline it the new normal), and OMG the chocolate covered Rice Kristy treat was so decadent I had to rush home for some insulin! There are candy shops everywhere. Some try to lure you in with nostalgia, spelling their place a "shoppe". Others pump their exhaust fans into the street like the Pied Piper enticing his followers. Not needed here. Just go and be both amazed and satisfied!

The tiramisu was delicious, although a bit mild in flavor in terms of espresso. I loved the texture of it. It was soft and not too wet, with an abundance of lady fingers. They did not skimp at all when it came cream. I do wish the flavor was stronger. The key lime pie had a delicious filling and the meringue was perfect. I do prefer a graham cracker crust and think that it was missing. The tart shell was good, but not defining of a key lime pie, in my opinion. I will definitely return! Thanks Carmella's!

One day, I noticed that they had a sign saying Coffee and it said to come in, that they're open. I decided to give it a go. Wow! Walking in, there's a big display case full of beautiful chocolate candies. Reminded me of when I was a child and my granddaddy would take me to the Godiva store downtown to pick out some chocolates. These at Christophe's are extra fancy tho. They're hand painted! Well some of them are. A lot of the others are shaped like cute things. I got my friend a shark made of chocolate. It was hollow but the cutest thing was that it was filled with chocolate fish inside the chocolate shark! That's so appropriate for summer. My friend loves sharks and she loved this gift!!! Also, their coffee is pretty good, but they don't have many options for flavored coffees and lattes like I usually opt for. However what they do have usually hits the spot. They also sell deli sandwiches. I get the salami and Swiss sandwich. They heat it up for me in the kitchen. It is always delicious. And it's always followed by chocolate, which is the best part!

Sweeteeth Chocolate makess high-quality chocolates and bon bons with unique flavor pairings. All of their products are made by hand and do not contain any preservatives. Sweeteeth was started by John Eric Battles, an Alabama native who previously worked at EVO Pizzeria here in Charleston. While working at EVO, "Johnny" created these treats that quickly spread through Charleston and can now be found all around the country. Their best bar is the Sea is for Caramel: 62% dark chocolate, smooth caramel, and sprinkled with sea salt. It's incredible to say the least. Don't even look at the price tag -- it's worth every hard-earned penny. I also really like the Cinnapsis: milk chocolate with chewy cinnamon apple bits and crunchy, candied pecans. Each bite of this bar is different, depending on how much apple or candied nut is in your bite. The PB&C bar (peanut butter with smoky chipotle pepper) is different. The peanut butter tastes very natural but the smokiness throws you off. Get your paws on a Sea is for Caramel bar. Immediately.

It was love at first taste, thanks to the Indie Craft Experience in Atlanta. I left that day with a salted caramel dark chocolate bar in hand, but knew that I needed more. Santa to the rescue! He brought me the chocolate sampler pack, a bunch of salted caramel dark chocolate bars, and salted caramel sauces. I mean, I have been OD'ing on chocolate and caramel for months now. But I've been good this year, and I've been sharing my chocolate with co-workers. Everyone loves this stuff-- it's like crack drips out of the salted caramel bar or something. I don't know what it is, but it's magical. Do yourself or someone else a favor and order some Sweeteeth. Or at least go to their website and admire the pictures of their chocolate bars.

Although I was charged twice, the manager assured me they would fix it once the line was manageable. Somehow I trusted her word for it, just the manner with which she handled it was text book! Indeed, saw the overcharged taken care of by the next day. A must stop in downtown historic Charleston for sure!

Luckily, we were able to be seated immediately but it was very close quarters with surrounding tables. The menu is vast with different dessert options. If you want to know what cakes are available, you should check out the display stand right when you enter. Since we were there 2.5 hours before closing, there didn't seem to be a lot of cake options available, but my husband and I decided to share a slice of the s'mores cake with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream to make it à la mode. The s'mores cake was a chocolate cake with mini marshmallows, chocolate fudge, graham crackers, and more marshmallows. The cake was good and had everything I could ever want in it, but it was a little dry. I think this also had to do with it being the end of the night. The ice cream complemented the flavor well. It would have been better with a second scoop of ice cream though. Service was great! It took about 10 minutes from when we ordered to get our dessert. I would probably come back here again, but not so late at night so there would be fresher cake with more options available.

I was looking for a place near the event to do a neighborhood tie in and they made me 7 dozen mini cupcakes. I sent an inquiry and we worked out the details over email. I initially was going to get a few dozen regular sized cupcakes, but Christen suggested the mini's for bite sized snacking in a mingling... setting which was perfect. We set a pickup time and I went to grab them just before my event. Christen had them ready and greeted me at the door. She actually does all the baking off site at a commercial kitchen and then offers pickup from her beautiful home downtown. I love this old school way of doing business and it adds a personal touch. Now for the cakes! Everyone was raving about them and asking where they came from... even people who said they don't even like chocolate cake (weirdos if you ask me). I lucked out because my guests had restraint and didn't devour every last mini cupcake so I took home about a dozen of them and enjoyed all of them with zero judgement from the party goers. I can't wait to try a whole cake from this place... it's gonna be amazing.
