Home FAQ About Chocolates A Short List of Chocolatiers Taster Opinions Where To Buy References Selected Web Resources License & Disclosure

Selected Web Resources "Must-Visit" Resources Between them, these two sites provide what I consider to be the most comprehensive and useful reviews and directory information of chocolate bars and chocolates on the web. You may or may not agree with their opinions, but you will be immensely thankful for the information they provide: Cloister's Chocolate Reviews: Very knowledgable reviews of chocolate bars and solid chocolates. Eric's Chocolate Store Reviews: An amazingly comprehensive, erudite, and helpful site, with a peerless geographically indexed directory of places to buy chocolates. Additional Resources Here are some links to articles about chocolates and internet sellers specializing in high-end chocolates. I've also put listings of a few local retail stores in the Where to Buy section of this guide, though Eric's directory is a much better resource. Chocoholic.com: A shopping service for "premium chocolate." They feature Richard Donnelly chocolates. "The Chocolate Paradox: The Next Red Wine?": Article by John Scharffenberger and Robert Steinberg, M.D. discussing the current evidence regarding health effects of chocolate. The Chocolate Society: A re-seller of "luxury chocolate" that will ship internationally. They sell Valrhona chocolate. I found this web site through a link from the Virtual Chocolate page. Culinary and Hospitality Industry Publications Services (CHIPS) Listing of Books on Chocolates and Candy: Quite a hefty selection of books on chocolate and cooking with chocolate. Virtual Chocolate: This group of "chocoholics" has provided a list of chocolatiers (including Godiva and Sprüngli) they like that will do mail order. Yummy Baguette.com: A bakery, pastries, chocolates, and ice-cream review and directory page. Includes listings for Chicago, New York, Toronto, and Vancouver. General Web Retailers There are a zillion web retailers of candies and chocolates. I used to list some in this section who had asked me to list them, but as I haven't sampled their services I decided I should just leave this section empty.
