"If you like chocolate, do not miss this place!"

"Incredibly flavorful, unique chocolates that melt in your mouth. Try one (or many) of the liquid-filled chocolates...amazing. Truffles are also excellent, and the mixed-nut cluster is fantastic." - tkkjstw, Stillwater, Oklahoma, TripAdvisor July 30, 2010

Our Handpainted Mural

Our beautiful handpainted mural by artist, Shannon Birchum, tells the story of chocolate; from the beginning (Cacao blooms and Cacao trees with pods)...to the pods themselves. Continuing the story from pods to beans to crushing, and finally the finished products, our DELICIOUS chocolates. The temple, quetzals and Mayan glyph for chocolate are meant to honor the Indigenous people who brought us Cacao.

Chocolat - Off Beat Travel

"I’ve just eaten an expresso Liquid Praline in Chocolat. The rich chocolate with just the right sweetness has given way to an explosion of intense coffee. I close my eyes to savor the flavors with what I know must be a grin of delight. Whatever I expected in Fredericksburg, it wasn’t European quality chocolate. As odd as it sounds, Chocolat is the sole American producer of confectionary process known as Liquid Praline (liquid center chocolates). These aren't the mass produced injection-filled chocolates Americans have been eating for decades. Lecia Duke studied under a Swiss master Chocolatier to learn how to create a thin sugar shell which is then filled with luscious flavors ranging from expresso to Texas orange liqueur. The filled shell is then enrobed in rich, delicious chocolate. Although noted for these delicacies, the store also sells fudge made of two ingredients – chocolate and cream. It is the best fudge I’ve ever tasted." - Neala Schwartzberg, editor of "Off Beat Travel" and a member of the International Food, Wine & Travel Writers Association
