A typical Valentine’s Day gift usually includes a box of chocolates and some flowers. This Valentine’s Day, instead of buying a box of chocolate for your special someone, do something unique and take your sweetie to the Chocolat Bar in Boise, ID. An artisan chocolate shop in downtown Boise, The Chocolat Bar offers a wide variety of high quality chocolates, including special heart shaped chocolates and Valentine’s Day gift boxes.
All of the chocolates sold at the Chocolat Bar are made in the shop, so customers can watch while their chocolates are made. Choose from caramels, toffees, truffles, barks, drops and clusters in a wide variety of flavors like dark chocolate red chili pistachio, white chocolate with lemon and lavender, and sea salt caramels. Along with traditional chocolates, the Chocolat Bar offers unique items like hot chocolate mixes, chocolate sauces, and solid chocolate high heel shoes. They even have a selection of sugar free chocolates for those with dietary restrictions.
In 2004, Chris Preston and Kristi Echols-Preston left the corporate world and opened The Chocolat Bar. Priding themselves on making the highest quality chocolate, each piece of chocolate at The Chocolat Bar is handcrafted and made with only the best ingredients. Preston and Echols-Preston’s hard work has resulted in their shop being recognized as one of the best chocolate shops in the Pacific Northwest. They were included in SIP Northwest Magazine’s Best Chocolate of the Pacific Northwest in summer 2012. In 2009, they were awarded Best of the Treasure Valley, and in 2008, they were featured in the November 2008 Food & Wine Magazine and in the "Tasting Boise" Blog.
If you need to ship chocolates to an out-of-town Valentine, the Boise PostalAnnex location can ship your gifts via UPS shipping or FedEx shipping. The friendly professionals at PostalAnnex can even compare shipping rates to find the best rate and service for shipping your chocolates.
