What do do when you want to discover a bold new world of chocolate from around the globe?
Well, if you’re Jessica Harney, you co-found a fantastic woman-owned business called Chocolux! I recently discovered this bountiful boutique at Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut, and it is a treat in every sense of the word! I conducted an exclusive interview with Ms. Harney and she filled me in on her shop filled with spectacular sweets from around the world. (I am blessed and lucky to have the profession that I do!)
“My grandmother owned a candy store, and I grew up in the arena of chocolate and candy,” she told me.
Indeed, her store is filled with about 20 under-the-radar chocolate brands that will tantalize your tastebuds. “We feature about 20 brands from around the globe,” she added.
So here they are for you – all under one roof – as Ms. Harney did the “traveling” for you!
One of the bestsellers is the beautiful Norman Love chocolates – absolutely gorgeous, colorful, mini-works of chocolate art that cost $2.95 each. One of the faves is the Cup of Cheer for Christmas, featuring Kahlua, Bailey’s and chocolate ganache. But I must admit, my favorite is the chocolate-hazelnut praline truffle featuring fabulous filberts and crunchy caramelized praline. The Sicilian Pistachio is also a winner.
Other brands in the store include Lindt; Godiva; Neuhaus; and Goldkenn, which makes a special Captain Morgan Spiced Rum chocolate with Cointreau, and another liquor-filled chocolate with Famous Grouse whiskey.
I also love that she carries the award-winning Vosges Chocolates, from Chicago, an award-winning chocolatier, including their chocolate bar made with five spices including cloves and star anise.
Vegan? Try the Hemp Love variety featuring lavender salt.
Like sweet and salty? Try Sweet Pete’s Chip Chip Hooray.
Sugar-free? Then Tom & Jenny’s is a must.
To order, call the store in Connecticut at 860-862-2090, and check out their Chocolux page on the Mohegan Sun website:
It just proves that there is so much more to explore at Mohegan Sun than gaming!
