Remember Fanny Farmer?  That used to be in Crossroads Mall, but hasn't been around for years.  That used to be the go-to for great chocolate. Now there are a few other options.

Here are a few chocolate shops known for being some of the best.  

Abdallah Chocolates 

Abdalla Chocolates is based in Apple Valley, Minnesota.  Although, you can buy them at several other stores, such as Hallmark stores, it's kind of a great idea to actually visit the brick and mortar shop.

Just Truffles

This chocolate shop is located in St. Paul. Right now if you go to their website, you will get a "pardon out dust" message. They state that they will be available soon.  Hopefully by Valentine's Day.  But no word for sure on that.  It's an awesome place, however that apparently will be even more awesome soon!

Chocolat Céleste

Chocolat Celeste, also located in St. Paul. Their chocolates can be personalized for gifts or just gifts for you.  And if you are looking for artisan type treats for a birthday, this shop specializes in that with their Birthday Collection.

Barbara Ann's Fudge Shop

This shop is located in Stillwater, like you need another reason to head to Stillwater.  Such a great, fun town and with chocolate and fudge!

St. Croix Chocolate Co. 

St Croix Chocolate Company is a great chocolate shop located near Stillwater that used to offer wine too.  Now checking on that, it's not clear if the wine iis still available or not but the chocolate is absolutely amazing!

 

There used to be a candy/chocolate shop in the Crossroads Mall.  That shop closed recently.  Bummer.

Valentine's Day is in 2 weeks - plan accordingly!
