Krause's Chocolates of New Paltz — Restaurant in Town of New Paltz

Upon entering the store, the delectable tantalizing smell of chocolate hits you in the most spectacular way! My friend and I audibly gasped at this sensory delight. We arrived 10 minutes before close and the person working was incredibly welcoming and told us to take our time. The wide array of choc compelled me to purchase a few pieces plus a chocolate-dipped cheesecake on a stick and it came to $17! How inexpensive for homemade chocolates! In the city, this is would easily cost 30 bucks or more. This is why I love small quaint towns. You get quality products in cute places with nice people at great prices 💜🍫 They also have choc-dipped bananas and cheesecake which was fantastic and a lot! 😂 Also, a note on the sweetness. I do not eat refined sugar on a daily basis. I typically reserve my sugar intake for special occasions like this visit to a gorgeous part of the country. So sugary things tend to be very sweet for me. I found the chocolates to be tasty and not overly sweet. As a lover of chocolate this was the perfect...

Coming through New Paltz, our biggest mistake was going to Lagusta's before coming here. Don't get me wrong, Lagusta's puts out some excellent chocolates too, but they rotate their offerings and have maybe 10-12 options at any one time. Krause's completely dwarfs the competition when it comes to selection, but that's not even the reason alone to come in here...

Our big draw to Krause's Chocolates is that everything they offer here they have in DARK CHOCOLATE too. Covered coconuts, caramels, raspberries, pretzels...you name it - all available in both milk and dark chocolate! From two dark-chocolate loving people, that is a total game changer for us!

The texture of the cocoa was creamy and absolutely perfect (closer to what you'd get from milk chocolate). I'm not a big fan of brittle dark chocolates, and when you're making truffles and other confections out of very brittle dark chocolates, they're hard to bite into. For this reason, combined with the sheer selection they have here, I highly...

I think there should be KAA meetings in New Paltz. Krause Addicts Anonymous. Chocolate is usually really good, but Krause's chocolates are completely sinful. Their basic milk and dark chocolate in their purest form are divine. Add salt, caramel, nuts, creams, and all other chocolate standards, and it's beyond perfect. It's clear that they handcraft their chocolates and fillings, because there's no other chocolates in the world that compare. If you buy a maple cream chocolate, it tastes like real maple. Their salted caramels and truffles are the perfect balance of perfection. My personal favorite is their bridge mix. It's a blend of huge malted milk balls and chocolate coated cashews, almonds, raisins, peanuts, and sometimes other surprising bits like candied ginger. If you like chocolate, you will cry tears of joy here. If you don't like chocolate, you should try Krause's and maybe you...
