With the century-long domination of the American chocolate scene by Hershey's and the considerably larger worldwide conglomerate Nestle, a little old outfit based in Jacksonville, Florida, can struggle to compete for recognition. Their chocolate, however, speaks volumes. 3 Sister's Chocolate specializes in not just a wide variety of common chocolate combinations, but also some very original ones - like their chocolate pizza, which thankfully has no cheese in it. It is basically a pie with everything on it, from Reese's Pieces, M&M's, a range of nuts, to chocolate and vanilla swirls.
For the 3 Sisters, the buck doesn't stop there: they also offer a wide range of cakes and bakery desserts. Their award-winning wedding cakes and birthday pies will be sure to include you in their growing fan base. Their unique and inspired designs (check out the scuba-diving birthday cake on their website) cover so many special events you will rarely call on any other company to deliver. Of course, the basics are also there; else they wouldn't deserve to be called a chocolate company: their assorted chocolate caramel box makes a sweet little gift for a special friend or family member, for a small milestone. Furthermore, 3 Sisters will of course make a cake to your specifications, and due to their business portfolio - which includes regular appointments by Fortune 500 companies - they will do so promptly and professionally.
True all-chocolate-lovers ought to make their way down to Jacksonville - or up to Jacksonville if you live in the ocean - to try their one-and-only chocolate bar, which is like a Starbucks for chocolate fans. The obvious offers are varieties of milkshakes and hot chocolates and mochas; the unique stuff is actual chocolate liquor (as opposed to liqueur, which isn't alcoholic at all, but is the name given to refined chocolate liquid after the cocoa butter has been extracted), called Liquid Chocolate Shots. It is comprised of the same high-quality chocolate employed in their more pedestrian delights, with alcohol added. As expected, there is also delicious gourmet chocolate coffee, strained from roasted milk chocolate ganache. Granted, having a cup of this with an Oreo-cookie cupcake or White Chocolate Cranberry dessert will leave you rushing for a gym membership once you leave this Willy Wonka of Florida behind, at least you will now be aware of delectable options other than Hershey's. You will be sure to take a slice of their famous cheesecake or carrot cake with you on your journey home.
Chris is a chocolate lover and connoisseur with a soft spot for Saint Valentines Day and other holidays. She has tasted probably every type of chocolate in the world, from the chalky to the milk chocolate delectable that runs like a river. Obscure chocolates will always get her to try them, if she can find any more.
