Everywhere we went around town, we saw these Olive & Sinclair Chocolate Co. bars. While this shop wasn't originally in the plans, once we saw how integrated into the local food culture they were, we made a stop.

They make lots of cool goodies, but the dark chocolate bars in these super cool wrappers are what I kept seeing everywhere. They have the 75% Cacao Southern Artisan Chocolate Bar, 67% Cacao Southern Artisan Chocolate Bar, Mexican Style Chocolate with cinnamon chili, Salt & Pepper Chocolate Bar, Cacao Nib Chocolate Bar, Sea Salt Chocolate Bar, Chocolate Coffee Bar, Buttermilk White Chocolate Bar, and Salt & Pepper Buttermilk White Chocolate Bar.

There were sample dishes near the bars, and the Mexican Chocolate one was interesting. The white chocolate ones were my favorites. I got a present to bring back home.

There were also Duck Fat Caramels (mmmgnhhhh) and Sea Salt & Vinegar Caramels (which I bought a couple of and devoured).

This shop is super cool. They do tours, and this shop even, surprisingly, sells their chocolate in two spots in West Virginia. It's darker chocolate, so if that's your favorite, this would be right up your alley. The caramels were very rich and delicious. But, local, handmade and very cool. Check it out if you're in the area.
