Go to the factory store for Charles Chocolates’ complete line, including house-made baked goods. We especially recommend the paves (not available online): classic French truffles, made with just the essentials: heavy cream, butter and chocolate, then dusted with cocoa powder.
Charles Chocolates also makes bars, bonbons, chocolate confections, and their unique edible chocolate boxes filled with caramels and topped with a decorated white chocolate lid. They also offer a chocolate subscription service in 3 sizes.
Chuck gets inspiration for some of his chocolates from his childhood in Chicago and lifelong trips to Paris. Hence the paves and Chuck’s take on mint meltaways, which were a beloved candy from Marshall Fields, an upscale department store in Chicago when he was a kid. Chuck updated them with flavors like mojito, passion fruit and raspberry.
You should also try their best seller: Triple chocolate almonds, which are almonds coated in milk chocolate, then bittersweet chocolate, then cocoa powder.

CBTB Tip:
Because they are made without preservatives or even a shell, paves should be eaten first and fast.
