Best Places in Greater Phoenix Places to Satisfy a Chocolate Craving

I can understand why so many people love chocolate. After all, the botanical name of the chocolate plant is Theobramba cacao, which means “Food of the Gods.” Personally, I'd rather have chips and salsa, but if it's chocolate you crave, there are many places in the greater Phoenix area where you can satisfy your sweet tooth. Here are spots around town where you can buy chocolate products for your lover, your sweetheart, your best friend, your children, or even yourself!

Where To Buy Chocolate in the Phoenix Area

1. Cerreta Candy Company
   The only store is in Glendale, Arizona, but you can also order online. The Cerreta Candy Company is a family owned business, founded almost 30 years ago, by Jim Cerreta, Sr. who learned candy making in his father-in-law’s factory in Ohio. Jim passed the trade to his entire family. You can take a free tour of Cerreta's!
2. Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory

There are six locations: Arrowhead Towne Center in Glendale, Outlets at Anthem, Phoenix Desert Ridge Marketplace, Paradise Valley Mall, Scottsdale Fashion Square, Arizona Mills in Tempe and Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix.
3. Granny's Chocolate Creations
   Chocolate roses might be a hit, or gourmet Dark and White chocolate butterflies, or have something custom molded! You give them your item, like a cookie jar, and they will create it in chocolate. Granny's Chocolate Creations has one retail location in Gilbert, or you can order online.
