  • Hot Chocolate

    PaperCity and the Dallas Observer both point past this Bishop Arts shop's famous truffles to its drinking chocolate: a thick elixir the Observer says is made with Valrhona cocoa, ground Ecuadorian dark chocolate, cane sugar, sea salt and a touch of milk powder. PaperCity notes a twenty-dollar jar makes four to six cups to prepare at home. Order the drinking chocolate rather than the truffle case alone, the detail both outlets return to.

  • Chocolatiers and Candy Shops

    Chef Katherine Clapner opened Dude, Sweet Chocolate in a brick storefront on Eighth Street in 2009 and in 2024 moved it into a blue Victorian house at the corner of Eighth and Bishop, one of the neighborhood's oldest buildings. The menu keeps changing and runs to truffles, chocolate salami and fudge. Order the Crack in a Box, and a cup of the drinking chocolate, made with Valrhona cocoa, ground Ecuadorian dark chocolate, cane sugar and sea salt.
