[wundermunk]

Hi! We are having a family reunion at Ghost Ranch, but will vist Albuquerque and Santa Fe. I am looking for great chocolate shops. Any suggestions?

Yes. These guys (S.Fe) are amazing.

Theobroma.

Friendly proprietor, outstanding chocolate, 2 locations.

And, for audacity, its gotta be The Candy Lady!

I couldn't find links, but she has been cited and fined for obscenity several times by the city for her "Adult Only" room.

Add Todos Santos to the list. Located in Sena Plaza, the courtyard complex of shops adjacent to the Casa Sena restaurant at 125 Palace Avenue just off the Plaza downtown Santa Fe. Phone number is 982-3855.

I very much like Chocolate Smith as mentioned by others. Todos is, I think, a bit "fancier" and thus more "special".

I second that. I suggested Chocolatesmith with artisanal/local chocolates in mind; but the guys at Todos Santos know what they're doing, and they carry products similar (or identical) to those that one might see in a Dean & DeLuca catalogue. Wonderful selection and great for gifts. There's also a Teuscher counter at Cookworks on Guadalupe.

ChocolateSmith, by the way, only does dark chocolate, but the hand-wrought green chile pistachio bark (and the red chili bark, too) is worth the trip alone. Then there are the peanut butter fingers (I prefer the plain, but the 'Pecos' version comes infused iwth ancho and chipotle) and the chocolate pates... oh, the pates. And don't knock white chocolate until you've tried their fragrant and epiphanic version with almonds, lavender and lemon.

Plus, their mint patties are studded with fairy dust. Okay: crushed Altoids. Pretty clever, eh?

I miss Santa Fe so much sometimes. I love that place.

Verjuice... I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Cookworks is closing. Buildings were sold and suddenly they announced a "Going-Out-Of-Business" sale; surprised everyone in town. I expect them to be gone in a few more days.

That said Las Cosas in the De Vargas shopping center (the other excellent cooking store) has a display of assorted truffles that are good though I cannot tell you where they are brought in from.

Bummer! I hadn't heard anything about the closing or the sale. What a shame.

In Albuquerque, The Flowerage, (7400 Montgomery NE) sells low carb chocolates, chocolates with chiles, and chocolates with nuts. Worth trying.

Might be a little late, but in Taos there is Xocoatl. I just saw some of their chocolate for sale today at a cafe in Albuquerque, some 73% Venezuelan.
