J. Emanual Chocolates, Morristown

[rhubarbd]

Anybody ever tasted these? I haven't, but am wondering what they're like - upscale? tasty? Thanks ...

Where are they located in Morristown. I'd be willing to try them the next time I am there!

They're okay. Stage House Inn in Scotch Plains has a Confectionary and I thought the chocolate was among the best in NJ.

They are so-so...I wouldnt compare them to the finer chocolates you can find in NYC...but in the end, they are chocolates, so I wouldn't refuse them as a gift.

Surprising, there is a pretty decent store in Bayonne . This it is called Al Richards. The chocolate is pretty good. Not EURO grade but quite decent. I think it is somewhat of a Bayonne landmark. Very nice people.

I meant to say...think it is called Al Richards or Al Richardsons.

I think that J. Emanuel in Morristown has closed.

It's Al Richards. They used to also own "Chocolate Alley" in Avenel but that location went out of business, I believe.

And yes, Al Richards' chocolates are pretty good, and reasonably priced. And yes, a Bayonne landmark indeed.

I especially liked their chocolate covered cream cheese! (They had it at Chocolate Alley).

It's Al Richard's. Between 38th and 39th on Broadway, Bayonne.

The best chocolate I have had in New Jersey--which compares very favorably with others such as Bernard Callebaut, La Maison au Chocolat, Teuscher, etc.--is Chocolatier Anais on Bloomfield Avenue in Verona, directly opposite the park. I have purchased my husband's corporate gifts there for the past two years and everyone loves and anticipates them. When I need a fix, I'll run in there for delectable truffles infused with various liqueur, dipped fruits and excellent ganache. I believe they are priced around $30 per lb.--a good price for this level of chocolate making.

Ooops...Chocolate Alley is alive and kicking! Just found an ad they ran in a local coupon magazine for Valentine's Day.
