Got some chocolate for Mother’s Day and as a recognition for my hubby’s year end at school. The Big Daddy Choc bar was amazing— it was (of course) BIG, also had peanut butter and caramel. Delish. We also purchased the orange and cranberry choc bark, it too was delicious.

10/10 must visit when downtown. Their candied ginger dipped in dark chocolate is literal heaven.
