Case Chocolates - Review - East End - Houston - The Infatuation
"Case Chocolates feels like what Willy Wonka would have created if he had an affinity for liquor. Each chocolate is rich and tastes like it should be wrapped in a golden ticket. The East End speakeasy, where the sugar-fueled tasting takes place, is hidden behind a bookcase in a tiny chocolate shop. It consists of three courses of chocolates filled with high-end spirits and liqueurs like gin and carajillo, like candy-coated shots. The first two are your choice, but the third course finishes with a sweet port wine and three chocolates infused with spirits from earlier in the night. The spirits feel like a complement to the chocolates—tequila goes down surprisingly smooth when wrapped in Venezuelan chocolate and candied mandarin. And while it’s undeniably boozy, the alcohol doesn’t overpower the chocolate. Go to Case Chocolate for a unique next date night or when you’re in the market for a fun combination of liquor and chocolate. How to get into Case Chocolates Reservations at Case Chocolates open about three weeks in advance, so set your alarm to get your ideal reservation time. If you’re antsy about getting in front of some bourbon-filled chocolate, your best bet is perusing the availability for a weekday tasting time." - Gianni Greene
