"With two locations in Uptown Park and Katy, this boutique shop specializes in small-batch, single-origin Venezuelan chocolates. Numerous options, including gift box samplers of chocolates, pralines, chocolate-covered fruit, nuts, and signature bars, are all crafted from Venezuelan cacao. The sampler pack is a great place to check out the shop’s wide selection, which includes Venezuelan white chocolate passion fruit mousse blanketed in dark chocolate." - Brittany Britto Garley, Cat Modlin-Jackson
