Everything Krause's make is delicious. I've been buying their candy for myself and as gifts for years, and will do some Christmas shopping there next week. When pressed for time, ordering and shipping through their website is very convenient.

Great chocolate with an excellent variety....costs a little more, but you get what you pay for, so it's worth it. You can customize your own boxes, or just buy singles/multiple...and the deliver. Located in the center of Rhinebeck in a plaza off the main street (near/across from library almost).

We were visiting from Connecticut and had to try this shop. A friend, who’s also a local, recommended it. We got some assorted truffles and a couple other goodies. Some of the best chocolates we have tasted. We wanted to take some back home but it was in the 80’s and no way to keep them cool.
