Located on Market Street directly across from the Choo Choo Hotel complex, The Hot Chocolatier offers an extensive list of baked goods. So much so that it is hard to narrow down the standout desserts. The truffles and bonbons are made in small batches with love and come in dark, milk, and white chocolate. Special and seasonal varieties are also offered throughout the year.
The Squirrels, however, are the apparent superlative menu item at the Hot Chocolatier. Squirrels are, essentially, nuts hidden under layers of caramel and chocolate and flipped into a truffle cup. They are offered in an assortment of flavors such as the White Chocolate Macadamia, and Milk Chocolate Pistachio Squirrel.
In addition to the mouthwatering desserts already mentioned, The Hot Chocolatier offers many other varieties of baked goods such as cakes, cookies, coffee cakes, brownies, scones, cheesecakes and cupcakes.
