We have many locally made chocolates that are quite good. In order of preference...

Roscar Chocolates in Bastrop, Tx- Wonderful truffles. Only sold at their place in Bastrop and at Breed & Co in Austin. Packaged in beautiful boxes.

Quentessential Chocolates, aka Chocolat in Fredericksburg, Tx- cliché name, but the best liqueur-filled I've ever had. Traditionally made with crisp sugar shell surrounding booze.yum.

Miles of Chocolate, Austin- It's like a really good, half-cooked brownie goodness. Sold by the pound at our finer stores around town.

SXUL, Austin- Lives up to the name. Truffles. Used to have gold dust sprinkled on top. I spoke to the guy who makes them when he was giving out samples at Grapevine Market a while back, and he said he stopped sprinkling the god dust, because it was too expensive, and customers were expecting, like, gold leaf or something.
