The sweetest holidays bring out the most devoted fans. If you live in Southeastern Massachusetts and love chocolate, you should recognize these names: Dorothy Cox, Fedele’s, Gowell’s, Hilliard’s, and Skinner’s. They represent our locally famous, locally owned, locally operated, multi-generation chocolate shops. Yes, these shops will be busy as bunnies before Easter, and for good reason. They use quality ingredients and have unique offerings. Prefer savory to sweet? Most locations offer freshly roasted nuts alongside their sweets. May we suggest trying cashews dipped in dark chocolate? A Happy Easter indeed!
