Tucson Chocolate Factory

I ran into their stand at a small pop up and had to try their viral Dubai choc bar and it did not disappoint! The price suprised me a bit initially ( but I hadn't seen heard that just seen the viral part) but I'm always happy to pay for quality and in that it did not disappoint! Absolutely delicious and rich and definitely a treat! Check them out if you see them about town!

Tried the (free) dark chocolate pecan turtles they were promoting this week on Yelp and bought a bon bon 4-pack with 2 each of white chocolate coconut almond and pistachio chocolate peanut butter. The turtle was amazing - approx an oval that's 2 inches long with dark chocolate which helps balance the sweetness of the caramel... and not too much caramel complimented the ample pecans nicely. The bon bons are barely an inch across, like a beautifully colored marble (but cut in half and laid down on its flat side), and again a nice balance of darker chocolate and a bit of firm-ish filling as described for each. At $9 for the 4-pack they're a bit pricey (or decadent) but less than Monsoon's‍. Packaging is handsome and protective. Bring a cooler or buy these last as they will melt! And read their wonderful origin story linked within their Yelp post to their website - everything is scratch and literally from cocoa bean to roasting to blending into various chocolates.

Had box sent to New Mexico. Called and asked that no picante (spicy hot) candies be included. The man who spoke to me said he would take care of it. And he did. Gift went out and contents were deeply appreciated.

The chocolates are strikingly beautiful!!! Truly masters of their craft! Don't miss them at the farmer's markets!
