Small-Batch Chocolate Shops in Kansas Specialize in Indulgent Treats
Bonafide chocolate lovers are never far from a sweet delight, whether it’s tucked away in the freezer or a desk drawer. Three Kansas chocolate shops cater to year-round cravings, and Valentine’s Day is their opportunity to showcase their talents.
Hazel Hil Chocolate
Topeka
Walking into Hazel Hill Chocolate, one is greeted by shelves of apples coated in caramel, nuts and marshmallows. A woman uses a wooden paddle to mix hot fudge in a copper kettle while occasionally watching passersby through the store’s window. The aroma of cocoa permeates the air as a nearby employee hand-dips cookies into a rotating bowl of melted chocolate.
Owners Nick and Terry Xidis have operated the confectionery shop since 2006, offering people with a sweet tooth small-batch truffles, fudge, chocolate-dipped fruits, nuts and handmade marshmallows. Nick, a third-generation chocolatier, and his wife create award-winning treats, providing shoppers gift-ready boxes or advent calendars during the holidays.
