>Houston: The Chocolate Bar- Village People

Posted on December 14, 2010 by EMCjoe No comments

It has been several years since I last visited The Chocolate Bar. This trip, I stopped in their location in the Village (near Rice University).

I really like this concept. I think it is the most complete chocolate shop I have ever visited. It has everything one could ask for to resolve a chocolate fix. They make their own stuff: cakes, confections, novelties, dipped and drizzled popcorn, fruits and cookies, made to order chocolate bars and pizza, ice cream & more and everything is terrific!

I particularly liked designing my own chocolate bar complete with my personal favorite choices. This time I chose a small milk chocolate bar with M&Ms, Marshmallows and chocolate rocks “mix ins”… delicious. It took less than 30 minutes, with a line. Next time, I want to try the pizza.

I sampled the chocolate ice cream and was quite impressed. The line was long to sit for dessert so I just admired the cakes on display. They looked amazing.

I picked up some novelties to take home to the kids: a chocolate tennis racket set for Jeffrey, hair dryer, mirror & other chocolate bathroom items for Samantha and 2 chocolate guitars for Max- Big hits when I gave them out.

I also took a goody bag for the drive home and loved every bit of the chocolate covered Oreos, pretzels and flakes (couldn’t tell if they started off as corn or frosted).
