In a little over a year, chocolatier Alexandra Clark has become a bon bon sweetheart, known for making her treats into tiny works of art. Her sweets have even been recognized by Martha Stewart.
These sweet treats have been recognized the nation over by the likes of the Food Network, Fine Living TV, and the Travel channel. Maybe it's because of the care that goes into hand-making each and every creamy, decadent truffle.
This shop has been in the Russo family for three generations. Here, you'll find everything you could want in candy, nuts, grains, and just about everything you need to make your own treats at home.
