Chi Chocolat
2021 India St, San Diego, CA
Little Italy's artisian chocolate boutique uses only the finest imported cocoa in their to-die-for signature chocolate bars, which also contain surprising, crispy, crystallized pansy flowers inside. -
Michelle Coulon's Dessertiere
7556 Fay Ave, La Jolla, CA
Visit Ms. Coulon's tucked-away patisserie in La Jolla for the ultimate chocolate truffles: Belgian chocolate filled with Italian cherries, caramel, or house-made praline crunch, then hand-dipped in bittersweet chocolate. A 23-carat gold garnish finishes them off, and at $36 per dozen, they're worth every penny. -

The food is nothing to write home about, but the classic "messy sundae" comes overflowing onto a plate with gobs of hot fudge, nuts, whipped cream and a cherry. -
Chuao Chocolatier
1935 Calle Barcelona Ste 172, Carlsbad, CA
