In Thorns Marketplace in Northampton, MA you I'll come across some delightful chocolates and…read moretruffles. I wasn't sure if my mind was playing games on me, but on my last trip to Northampton this chocolate stand was called Heavenly Chocolate, and now they're called Firetype Chocolate. They simply decided to go for a new name. They're just a small stand located across from Share Northampton. The chocolate variety they offer is anything but small. One little truffle will set you back almost $3.00. As far as I could tell everything is sold individually, not by weight. I got some of the chocolate that sounded a bit interesting, also the barks are a bit larger than the truffles. I got the Salted Almond Bark, Maple Honeycomb and another one that's very similar. These are such quality chocolates. The honeycomb is a bit sticky, and you might need to floss your teeth right after. They also have a small selection of gummy candy. I got the pear, these are soft and juicy. These are unique, flavorful chocolates, that any chocolate lover is sure to appreciate. Firetype Chocolates are made by hand right here in Northampton. This is their only physical location.

I…read morewasn't craving sweets, I was taking in the wonder of the colorful choices of old fashioned candy. The glass display of homemade truffles, chocolate with various nuts and caramels. I specifically came in to get my Chinese acupuncturists (I see 2) Chinese New Year presents. I looked down in one of the baskets in front of the counter and found gold chocolate coins. I purchased an even (must be even and not including the #4 according to Chinese tradition) number of the coins and had the friendly Sweetie's employee wrap them up for me. Red is a lucky color for people who are Chinese. Especially with gold. I purchased 2 small boxes of the gold coins in boxes for under $20! Sweetie's is a fun sweet store to shop in. There is something for everyone, even if they don't eat candy. There are cards, mugs and other fun items. Highly recommend!

The passionfruit-filled one was my absolute favorite. Good quality ingredients are evident in these chocolates. I'm really anxious to try their hot chocolates as they make several different kinds using legit chocolate, not the powdery fake stuff. They also make sandwiches and some other light foods that looked really good and another reason to stop by again in the future. The young lady working that day was very helpful and friendly. I saw a lot of students working on their laptops so the environment itself is calm and relaxing.

It's really an experience you should treat yourself, and your family to. They can also ship worldwide as well! There is plenty of free parking and it's handicapped accessible.

Their chocolates are made right here on site…read more Every morning, the solid chocolate is melted 100 pounds at a time in an antique copper kettle, tempered, and prepped to become a dizzying assortment of chocolates. Think  handmade creams, truffles, mints, cordials, butter-crunch, caramels, nut clusters, turtles, chocolate covered orange peel, ginger, apricots and pretzels. Want more? How about fudge, white chocolate, barks, clusters, pops, and sugar free chocolates. We paid $38.22 for a bagful of goodies - 2 boxes of hand picked chocolates (sugar free and high test), a piece of bark, a chocolate bar, and two turkey shaped chocolate pops for the grand kiddos. A small gift bag of nonpareils was  tossed in gratis. The store is quite large, so walking around and checking out the goods is quite a fun experience. The only disappointment we had was that their chocolate apple season just ended the week before.

They're allowed to free roam and are hormone free. There is a small parking lot and the chocolate shop is very intimate and cozy. The employees were friendly too. You're able to peak into the dairy barn and see the cows too. There are a variety of chocolates to choose from; from truffles, chocolate bars, caramel, and more. They have won multiple awards for their chocolate. They also offer private tours and chocolate tastings. I purchased a box of 9 assorted chocolates and two white chocolate lollipops. The chocolates were expensive but worth it. They tasted fresh and creamy, up there with the best chocolates I've had. I highly recommend a visit!

The owners are the nicest people ever, more than willing to answer your questions when it comes to what's in the chocolates, any allergies and how they're made. They are definitely a family owned company that takes pride in their product.

Chokaico is a gorgeous…read morespecialty chocolate shop, specializing in single origin beans for chocolate, bonbons, truffles, hot cocoa and bars. They also have coffee and I think frozen treats. I didn't catch his name, but I think the owner helped me. He certainly had the pride of an owner. He was top tier friendly, engaging and helpful. He said he is from Ecuador and many of the beans used in the chocolate come from Ecuador. This was one of the best customer service experiences I've had this year. Any type of business. Before buying a bunch of holidays gifts, I tried a number of chocolate samples. They were obviously very high quality. There were a number of artistic chocolate pieces. Like one in the shape of a high heel shoe. I had a black iced coffee that was very good. I love Chokaico. They have my high recommendation. 5 Stars
