While shopping in Newmarket the other day, beautifully decorated chocolates and treats caught my eye from the doorway and I had to investigate. Situated inside the 277 Westfield mall in Newmarket, Colestown Chocolates produces artisan chocolates, hand-made in small batches using the finest Callebaut chocolate from Belgium. My eyes were drawn to the pretty bronze paint decorating the ‘Chai Bubbles’ chocolate ($4.00). Aerated milk chocolate is delicately infused with chai spices, then dipped in chocolate again and coated with a bronze lustre. This is the first time I’ve ever had chai in my chocolate and I have to say I’m now a big fan. And the fact that the chocolate is aerated makes it even more fun to eat. You can really taste the quality in Colestown’s chocolate, and I can’t wait to try their other creations.
