"Kreuther Handcrafted Chocolates, a spacious shop next door to Gabriel Kreuther, the restaurant, is quietly making some of the best chocolates in the city. In fact, based on variety, quality, consistency, and flavor balance alone, I’d call these the very best. Square paves of infused ganache, molded, molten caramels, and layered fruit chocolates ($2 to $4 each) stand out from the hard-shelled, saccharine Godivas of the world. Each filling, from vanilla ganache to more unique pairings, pairs perfectly with the chocolate that enrobes it: Aleppo pepper tames the tropical flavors of mango and passionfruit with a slight smokiness; peanut salted caramel tastes like the best peanut brittle, turned liquid; and apricot bergamot, with its chewy fruit layer, feels like the days when summer turns into fall. One last note: Don’t miss the crunchy, salty macadamia nut toffee ($16), either." - Eater Staff
