The Chocolate Garden is a destination for the truffle lover.
 
Here is a "taste" of the exquisite service they provide.
 
Chocolate Lore
Each box of The Chocolate Garden’s truffles comes with a card that contains a bit of chocolate lore. The cards are randomly attached so you are likely to get a different one each time you order. There are currently 9 cards in the mix and more will be coming in the future.
 
Baby oh Baby!
Ok, so we know that chocolate has some health benefits, and it certainly makes us feel better, but now we've learned that it can lead to sweeter babies! That's right, a new study shows that moms who ate chocolate every day while pregnant had babies who smiled and laughed more. And stressed-out moms who indulged daily had calmer babies. Now that's what we call exceptional prenatal care!
 Can you imagine biting into a truffle in one of these flavors?
