Growing up, my mom used to claim I couldn't really be her daughter because I didn't like chocolate. I was a vanilla girl and proud of it. Over the years my tastes have changed and much to my mother's great delight I now adore dark chocolate almost as much as a new pair of heels. Almost. This recent obsession is why I am excited to tell you all about the recent opening of David Bacco Chocolats here at Hilldale! Bacco has been one of Madison's most respected chocolatiers, most recently creating edible delights for Cocoliquot. Now closed, he has opened his own shop right here at Hilldale, and is creating quite the stir around the mall. After repeatedly hearing about the endless, beautifully-crafted sweets the shop has to offer, I was more than excited to go explore.
I was not disappointed. From the second you walk into Bacco's quaint little shop, it is impossible not to feel like a small child in a candy store. It is the refined wood finishing and glass cases of decadent chocolates that pull you back to reality and make you realize that you are no longer a child, and this is no kid's candy store.
I encourage everyone to stop in and taste a few (or all) of the exotic chocolates themselves. They might look too good to eat, but trust me, the experience goes way beyond the visual!
