The Top Two Chocolate Shops?

My dear friend Anita Coulter introduced me to perhaps the best hot chocolate ever, from La Maison du Chocolat in New York City. She also gave me a couple truffles from them for Christmas. More like chocolate atom bombs.

However, if you want your chocolates au American, there is Recchuiti Confections, located in San Francisco. Their brownies... mmm, all brownies should aspire to be like these squares of ecstacy.

So all you ladies out there -- you know you want to give your Stokes the best for Valentines Day! *wink*
