Saroli Chocolat, Boise

Though the cool aqua tones of Saroli Chocolat’s create the atmosphere of an elegant European-style chocolaterie, one barely notices the decor when confronted with shelves bursting with bricks of fudge, chocolates, and jars of confections. The shop’s artisan chocolatiers hand-make each of the small-batch treats, from the old-fashioned confections to the European truffles, which can be emblazoned with custom logos for a wedding or a warning to a rival dentist. Staffers use Belgian chocolates in most of their confections and import different varieties of licorice from around the world. They can package the treats up for clients to take home or array chocolates or gelato.
