Godiva Chocolatier is excellent chocolate maker/distributor. Find their boutiques in the nicer, more upper-class malls – you can’t compare what you buy pre-packaged in Belk to what you can get fresh at the store. It’s extremely expensive, but some of it is worth it. In Consumer Reports tests and my own sampling, the filling on most of the regular chocolates is not very good. Truffles, however, stand out as excellent. Their coffees as well are delicious. Ice cream is marvelous, particularly the Chocolate Raspberry Truffle. But beware of finding a “favorite” – they took mine away. Overpriced unless you find something you really love.
