"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 is hidden behind a bookcase in a tiny chocolate shop and has a tasting that consists of three courses of chocolates filled with high-end spirits and liqueurs like gin and carajillo. 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. 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, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
"From the outside, Case Chocolates looks like a standard dessert shop that sells bourbon-filled sweets by the pack. But hidden behind a bookcase in this East End spot is a sweeping bar with a three-course tasting menu of high-quality chocolate and cocktails. Unlike other alcohol-infused sweets, the inside of the candy is entirely liquid—balancing spirits like blanco tequila with cacao from Venezuela and Colombia. The tasting menu feels fun, especially after three rounds of tossing back candy-coated shots. Seatings for Case Chocolates fill up quickly, so plan in advance if you want a primetime reservation.

"Verdict: This East End tiny chocolate shop is where sugar-fueled tastings take place behind a hidden bookcase. The evening consists of three courses of chocolates filled with high-end spirits and liqueurs like gin and carajillo. This makes the tasting menu feel fun because you spend the evening tossing back rounds of candy-coated shots. Plus, the booze is a welcome complement to the chocolates—tequila goes down surprisingly smooth when wrapped in Venezuelan chocolate and candied mandarin.

"Houston’s only chocolate-and-cocktails speakeasy sells spirit-filled chocolates by the box, including rare chocolates that encase sips of carajillo ($34) and variety boxes ($34–$62) infused with bourbon, mezcal, tequila, and cognac. A special offering tied to the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection ($100) is a custom-made cacao pod holding six chocolates filled with some of the most exclusive whiskeys—Eagle Rare 17, William Larue Weller, George T. Stagg, Thomas H. Handy, Sazerac 18—and a bonus of Old Rip Van Winkle. Shipping and pickup are available." - Brittany Britto Garley
