Features > General > The Best Chocolate in Santa Fe
If you are looking for the best chocolate in Santa Fe while you are in town, look no further. Today I got a special treat. I got to spend the morning with Santa Fe's Premier Chocolatier, Rand Levitt , of Senor Murphy . A few month's ago at the Santa Fe Children's Museum's Gala , I won this the Day with a premier Chocolatier in their Silent Auction and thought what a fun thing to do. And it was, especially because they give only a few quick tours a year to small school and community groups. An entire morning with them is very special.
I learned a lot about their business that I didn't know. I knew that their candy was great, but I didn't realize that it is all hand made and hand packed. They even make their own marshmallows for the Rocky Road. We got to see them making caramel for their hand dipped apples, chocolate coat some orange creams made from real oranges, hand package the pinon nut boxes, and more. The kids even got in the act and helped with packaging.
I love that they used local ingredients; like local raspberries for the raspberry creams, and even marked each cream by hand with a letter so you know exactly which one you're getting. One of my favorite candies I tried was the Bolitas, chocolate fudge hand dipped in dark chocolate and rolled in ground almonds. Yummy!!
While you might not be able to take a tour of the factory if you're in town for a visit, you can go to the factory to buy your boxes of super fresh and delicious chocolates. If you're lucky, you may get to peek in and see them boxing up their latest creations while you are there. If you can't make it here, but you would love a taste of Santa Fe , you can always order from their web-site at http://www.senormurphy.com/ . You can also learn more about their history and full line of hand made chocolates.
