If you are from Boston, you have undoubtedly discovered the famous handmade chocolate turtles from the city’s oldest chocolatier. They come in every shape and size here from rich dark chocolate to creamy milk chocolate made with either cashews, pecans or almonds. Build your own box or choose a signature 15 to 30-piece sampler. There are also soft center, hard and chewy chocolates as well as dark chocolate salted almond bark to get your fix on.

Come for the dark chocolate cake soaked with French raspberries and Framboise liqueur layered with French raspberry dark chocolate ganache and stay at the cafe for the hot single source drinking chocolates. This Back Bay haute spot offers a nice selection of European style pastries (think hazelnut orange or chocolate Harvard Square) along with handmade bonbons, creamy chocolate penguins and hand-rolled velvety smooth chocolate cigars.

Try their collection of truffles presented in a 24-piece “jewelry box” or the ultimate 96-piece assortment presented in a croco leather box filled with two layers of truffles.

If Oprah Winfrey is a fan, you know it’s got to be good. This Back Bay Swiss chocolatier takes chocolate to a new level (think dark chocolate truffles with a ganache center enhance with a creamy infusion of Dom Perignon Champagne). We love the Map of Zurich box that contains Swiss chocolate confections filled with crispy nut pralines, soft fillings, fruit and nougat. Doesn’t get much better than this.
