Life by Chocolate

Chocolate, white, milk, dark, in all its forms forms life. Chocolate truffles, caramels, and other confections are at the core of enjoyment. This is life by chocolate because death by chocolate is the wrong attitude.

Hilltown Mariket

The store that started it all. Rob at Hilltown Market wanted to carry my chocolates. He and Rachel have been big supporters. And when I was reviewing my blog, I saw that back in January, I mentioned Hilltown twice, in two entries, I did not actually have a welcoming post for them. For shame! ;-)

So, here it is. I'd like to welcome the coop and health food store that started the ball rolling. Welcome to the Life by Chocolate family and thanks most humbly.

Hilltown Market
26 County Rt 353,
Rensselaerville,
NY 12147
518.797.3144

This is a beautiful store run by outstanding people. The members are fun. Rob is great and the board is made up of good folk.

Main St Grainery in Chatham New York

The Main St Grainery has joined the Life by Chocolate family and are now carrying our chocolates. So, if you're in Chatham New York, stop buy there and buy some chocolates and also pick up some of their great apple cider. Sigh. I drank the last of it today. We took it XC skiing. Sigh, again, no less.
