A balanced woman’s diet must consist of foods from the five major food groups: dairy, grains, meats, fruits/vegetables and, of course, chocolate.
There is a new chocolatier in town to help us maintain a nutritious (and finger lickin’) diet. Enter Choklat – one of only a few artisans in Canada that actually makes their chocolate from scratch on site!
The shop’s open workspace lets us witness the magic as they transform cocoa beans into the most decadent truffles ($1.99) that have ever touched our lips. Espresso Buttercream truffle anyone? Perhaps after we cure our jonesing for the Keylime White Choklat. And in honour of Choklat’s grand opening, we must try some Limited Edition Choklat bars, currently made with Porcelana and Ocumare cacau (some of the rarest in the world).
And after we’ve tried everything twice (or three times!), we’re ready to experiment with their online ordering system to create our own Sweet truffle or bar, or take a Chocklat Snobbery 101 class ($39.95). Chocolate tasting and wine pairing sounds like the perfect night out to us.
They even create brilliant gift baskets ($49.95-$140) chock full of chocolaty goodness. Is it wrong to send one to ourselves? We didn’t think so either...
