Lee's chocolates at Chocolee are to die for. I am not a super chocolate lover but now I understand why people are. Tried Chocolee's caramel chocolate, fabulous. Chocolee is located in the South End of Boston, off of Tremont Street. Staff is super friendly and helpful picking out what you like. Definitely the best chocolate shop around.
After sampling some seriously A+ truffle, courtesy of an out of town guest who stumbled across this South End confectionery wonder, I was perplexed and decided that I had to go in myself. Unfortunately, the Sunday I made the stroll, Chocolee was already closed for the day. Upsetting...yes...but all together not a waste of time as I discovered that not only can you find amazing truffles at Chocolee, but on the weekends Lee herself prepares the unthinkable in terms of desert. BEIGNETS!!! That's right…warm fried dough surrounding an oooey gooey chocolate center. 3 scrumptious beignets for $7 dollars, so worth it…trust me. I could hardly wait until the following Saturday when I dragged my boyfriend and mother into the adorable Pembroke St store where we savored these treats. As I am sure you could have guessed they were wonderful. You simply must try them yourself!
