Apparently my home state of Connecticut has attracted a number of boutique chocolate makers. The N.Y. Times rounded up five chocolate makers for an article titled “Home Sweet Home to Chocolate Makers.” Closest to my hometown are Deborah Anne’s Homemade Chocolates in Ridgefield where butter crunch, truffles, caramel and turtles are most popular, and Knipschildt Chocolatier in Norwalk where elegant ganache-filled truffles are available to wholesalers. Further afield are the Belgique Patisserie & Chocolatier in Kent, Bridgewater Chocolate in Brookfield and Munson’s Chocolates in Bolton. All hail the chocolate nutmeg state.
