Eldora Chocolate · Alameda
This Alameda chocolate maker roasts its own cacao, sourcing beans from roughly three dozen countries, and makes fine chocolate without artificial ingredients or preservatives.

Chocolate Cartel · Northeast Heights
This Northeast Heights shop has made chocolate in Albuquerque since 2009, specializing in high-quality dark chocolate and working New Mexico chile into some of its bars.
