Chocolate Secrets

This Oak Lawn chocolate shop and wine bar has poured hot cocoa for close to twenty years, per the Dallas Observer, with chocolatiers from seven different countries behind the flavor list. Both outlets name dark chocolate, English toffee, white chocolate peppermint and Mexican spice as the options, and the Observer calls the dark chocolate rich and velvety with hints of bitterness from the shop's own house-made chocolate. Order the Mexican spice swirled with whipped cream, the Observer's own suggestion.

Chocolate Secrets is a longtime Oak Lawn chocolate shop whose chocolatiers come from seven countries, which makes for a diverse menu of flavors, and it keeps a wine list alongside the chocolate. Hot cocoa comes in dark chocolate, English toffee and Mexican spice, and the classic dark is rich and velvety with hints of bitterness from the house-made dark chocolate. Order the dark hot cocoa, or the Mexican spice swirled with whipped cream and topped with chocolate shavings.
