Super Bowl sweets (and more)

After I visited Creative Seams in Millwood this morning, which I featured in my last posting, I stopped in at The Chocolate Chalet in Briarcliff Manor.
I’m starting to do my research (and no, I didn’t have any samples!) for a story about shopping for chocolates for Valentine’s Day.
I don’t think I’d ever been inside this great little shop. I know I’d have remembered the heady scent that grabs you the minute you’re inside.
I met owner John Macko, who told me the shop is going into its 33rd year (how come I’ve not been in…?).
I’ll save most of what he told me — what Valentine’s shoppers are looking for and what’s selling well, etc. — for the story.
One thing he mentioned, though, really grabbed my attention even though it was not related to Feb. 14.
You can buy a chocolate football:
He’s been featuring this item for a few years, as it’s perfect for the centerpiece of any Super Bowl buffet, right?
You can even have your sentiments written on the piece.
“Go Giants,” anyone?
It’s $18.99$17.95 (heard back from Macko that he had quoted the wrong price) and orders are accepted.
And for a look ahead to Valentine’s Day, here’s a little walk through the shop’s holiday treats. Most of the chocolates are made on the premises, with a wide variety of imported truffles also on hand. You can even buy a “chocolate heart” and have it filled with your choice:
Wow. Looking back at all these pictures, I’m thinking I may have to get back there.
Soon.
Visit The Chocolate Chalet, open daily, at 74 N. State Road. Call 914-941-4607.
