Meeteetse Chocolatier — Restaurant in Meeteetse

As I passed though town I stopped here. I was excited because it's been on my list of things to do/see for some time after reading about it somewhere. I bought 3 truffles and 3 pastries. I asked the gentleman about the fancy chocolate chips he has for sale. Wanted to find out which was his favorite. Cause I like making chocolates too. He stated that he wouldn't sell it if it wasn't good. I definitely understand that however I wished he went in to more detail on each or say something about them so I could get a better feel on them other than the flavor profile displayed. Especially, because they are a bit pricy for a quarter pound of chocolate. I was the only customer in the store so I didn't think I was putting him out but after the silence I decided to just get what I did and nothing more. The truffles were ok. I did enjoy the Peanut Butter one the best. The Coconut and Irish Cream had just a hint of those flavors. Nothing special. The pastries were good. Unfortunately, I don't remember which ones were what but the cinnamon and sugar encrusted muffin shaped one...

I stopped in on a Friday afternoon and was warmly greeted by the sales lady there. She explained about the organic ingredients and lack of preservatives that meant consuming the chocolate within 5 days was necessary...mmm, okay! The variety of items to choose from was vast and I was able to make a selection of several items to consume and share with coworkers who gave rave reviews of the cranberry dark chocolate bark and the thin mint milk chocolate bark. My favorite item was the brownie topped with prairie sage infused ganache...a beautiful combination! This was my second visit, and I look forward to stopping in again. By the way, Meeteetse is a charming, unassuming place to visit or spend a night or two in. There are free museums, great eateries (I enjoyed fantastic battered cod and onion rings at The Elkhorn B&G), excellent scenery and outdoor activities, and a ghost town to visit after the creeks go down. Nothing about this area...

Seldom do I have the opportunity to consume exquisite and carefully made edibles that are made with love. Such are the decadent chocolates​ that are created here! Dare I say that having a few of the truffles induced a euphoria and Afterglow? These are the best I have ever experienced. In the past, I have made a few types of candies myself, and am aware that to create a great final product, you must start with excellent ingredients, and have a razor-sharp focus on the entire process in order to deliver a candy that is great. I'm humbled by the superior chocolates offered by the Meeteetse Chocolatier. From the friendly staff, I've always received excellent suggestions and information about the various choices, including that which is safe for someone like myself who must do a gluten-free diet. He also offers some unique flavor combinations. If you love chocolate, or know someone who does, you'll be glad that...
