I love chocolate, lust after it, need it. As such, I’m wondering if Austin has any particularly great chocolate shops, or any locally-made chocolates that can be purchased at the grocery store? I’m just about to Google my brains out looking, but if you’ve got any tips, I’d love to hear ‘em!

More chocolate articles (and sweet, sweet photos) soon to come, but in the meantime, be sure to check out our affiliate Chocolate.com’s Gifts Under $25 page for all your shoestring budget home-delivery chocolate needs. One more must-read before you go: check out my article on chocolate’s health properties, entitled Research on Health Benefits of Chocolate.

XOXO,
Choco Fanatic, aka Laura
