The Chocolate Lab

I love The Chocolate Lab. No, not the dog although they are pretty great dogs from what I hear. In honor of Valentine's Day I am talking about the chocolatier in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. I stumbled across this confectionary two Christmases ago when my boyfriend and I were visiting Bethlehem for a Christmas getaway (we stayed at the historic Hotel Bethlehem). I am a truffle gal myself, so after the bittersweet chocolate smells lured me into the shop I went straight for the glass jars that separated me from them.

Unless you absolutely need Lady Godiva etched onto the box that contains your chocolates, give The Chocolate Lab a try (you can order online) and support small town businesses. Her prices are reasonable and anyway, the size of her chocolates is about double the size of Godiva! You may not find the full variety of truffles on your first visit as they do sometimes vary, but I guarantee you'll find something to satisfy your taste for chocolate!
She is located in downtown, historic Bethlehem, so while you are there you can also experience the various other cute shops, boutiques, art gallerys and restaurants right on Main Street such as the Moravian Book Shop, Topsy Turvy, Donegal Square, The Attic, Heavenly Hedgehog Icrecream, Bethlehem Brew Works, and in August you can attend the Musikfest in Bethlehem.
