For the deadly hot chocolate…thick, rich, and pure:
Angelina’s in Paris
Cafe Florian in Venice
Escriba’s in Barcelona

For the candy bar (commercial):
Dark chocolate: Amedei Chuao or porcelana
Milk chocolate: still Amedei..sorry but this newbie inched a notch above the Swiss Callier

Maison du Chocolat and Royce –> The BEST! :) I couldn’t agree more! Worth any hell or high water it takes to get them!

Ria, what about re-melting the truffles in a small pot with additional chocolate and making a simple chocolate fondue for berries, bananas or pound cake? Or melting them down and using them as a sauce for vanilla ice cream and some added chopped nuts and whipped cream? I suppose you could also chop them up and put them between bread and stick it in a panini grill and make chocolate paninis with truffles! Yum. Margaux, AHA! Chocolate is your weakness… And yes, I have been to Nana Meng’s and bought my chocolate pot and stirrer there… I thought Royce’s chips were a tad weird as well. Maria Clara, oddly, I haven’t had the privilege to taste Vosges of Chicago yet… hmmm, something for my wish list… Jacob’s Mom, Margaux Salcedo has the right idea…their family chocolate stalls, Nana Meng’s have what you are looking for…they have a stall at Glorietta Four and the metal pots and wooden stirrers…
