Hot Stuff!

Used to be that back in the day at holiday time, you could always motor over to the corner store, pick up a Whitman Sampler as a last minute Christmas gift for someone (it was one of the go-to hostess presents), and call it a day.

Nowadays, more and more Rhode Island based chocolatiers and choc shops are popping up, though.

So, why not go local when it comes to shopping for sweets?

Recently I stumbled upon an emerging maker — based at Hope & Main in Warren where tons of successful Rhode Island food brands and restaurants go their start — that goes by the name Hawt Chocolate.

I mean, how CUTE and cheeky is that?

Of course, I had to put an order in for a box of the bonbons (hellooooo….flavors include PB&J , salted caramel and eggnog), and you’ll want to too.

In addition to those (ps and by the way, you can opt for boxes with 4, 8, or 12 bonbons), Hawt Chocolate also offers bars like Cranberry & Salted Pistachio and a Fruit & Nuts. These are substantial and thoughtfully made, just like the candy bars you remember when you were a kid.

Up until recently, you could only buy these scrumptious hand-crafted delights at the weekly market at Hope & Main, but circa right now, you can hop on over to their site HawtChocolatePVD.com and order away.

Candy Is Handy: And they ship all over the NorthEast which means less stressing over what to send fam and friends this go ‘round.

Just a few clicks and your college roommate Phil and your cousin who’s relocated to Maryland could all be on the receiving end of some of the tastiest treats that Rhode Island has to offer.

Also, if you’re a fan of Hope Street, you’ll find Hawt Chocolates at the much-loved Stock Culinary.

As always, if you order online or find yourself at Stock in the near future, pls. let them know you were inspired by Patty J and PattyJ.com.
