UPDATE 9/2015: We are sorry to announce that Coco Délice has closed.
Coco Délice Fine Chocolates made one of our favorite chocolate candies: peanut butter filled chocolate bunnies. But they were really known more for their well-balanced alcohol-based bonbons. And their Bison Black Magic Beer Chocolates won a 2014 Good Food Award.
Chef Dennis started Coco Délice in 2006 making French style chocolates, which basically means less sweet and more intense flavors than typical American chocolates. In addition, Coco Délice chocolates were very nicely balanced, whether it’s cognac and chocolate or peanut butter and chocolate.
The factory store was tiny – more like a foyer for the commercial kitchen. And the staff was very friendly and helpful. In fact, the last time we visited was as soon as we heard the bunnies were available. They had bunnies ready, but not packaged yet, so they very kindly put together a couple of packages for us while we waited.
