4. Thorncrest Farm & Milk House Chocolates (Goshen)
This picturesque barn is also home to a couple of cows and a ton of chocolate. I'd recommend walking the grounds a little bit before shopping away.
Small and farm-side, they know they have to impress you with a smaller selection than their competitors. Which means only the best for you!

6. Munson's Chocolates (Mystic)
The Mystic branch of this chocolate shop is just as impressive as the one in Bolton. And after that drive along the coast, this place is the perfect cherry on top of the trip.
Try not to be too tempted by the bags of chocolate. You can get a peek at some of the action behind the counter and try their famous fudge.
But you'll probably be looking for something nice and refreshing after the drive. So why not walk out with this ice cream sandwich, dipped in chocolate?
