The Shameless Chocoholic — Local services in Pleasant Valley Township

♥️ Every Valentine’s Day, I order chocolate covered strawberries from The Shameless Chocoholic for my family. 🍓 When my boys were “ little little”, my husband and I would eat them ourselves. Now that they are in elementary school, we have to get a larger order so they can have some too! The strawberries are huge and fresh. The chocolate coating is thick and snaps just right when you bite in.

Last year, The Shameless Chocoholic introduced chocolate covered marshmallow “poops” for Valentine’s Day. They look just like the poop emoji 💩 and my kids think they are hilarious so they had to come home with us again this year.

It was easy to order and pick up our delicious treats this year. During our visit today, I learned that I can also special order cashew dark chocolate turtles (my favorite Shameless Chocoholic treat).

We miss the LeClaire location very much but the trip to the Bettendorf location is worth the...

So I didn't know they close at 4 on Wednesday so when I rushed there, it was 3:58 lol, I did ask if they close but she said not yet, she was still working on the chocolate so she gave me chance to shop a bit (it was kind of her).

Then I "accidentally" grabbed more than just the Dubai chocolate. Tried many flavors and I was like wow, none of it was considered even ok to me, they were all delicious. And for the price I would say it's affordable, I've been to other chocolate stores and many of them were definitely overpriced. This is definitely my new to go place when I crave...

My visit was on 3/21/25 at 4pm. I was greeted by the friendly owner of this shop, Rebecca. First off, I noticed that the shelves and the case were fully stocked and arranged nicely. I came in for a specific item: Dubai truffle. I also choose a variety of creams: vanilla, maple, blueberry and cookie dough. The chocolate was fine quality and smooth. My favorites which I will be returning to purchase were the maple and cookie dough flavors. If you like caramels, the sea salted caramel was excellent. At the end I was gifted a sample of anise flavored butter taffy, excellent. You can tell that Rebecca is really passionate and committed to providing a quality product to the Quad City area. Stop by this Bettendorf business not only for holidays, but everyday sweetness. Support our local...
