I've been fortunate enough to sample the chocolates from Hot Chocolates on special occasions for many years. They are the best I've ever tasted. I've actively sought out other shops to sample from, but none have surpassed these. My favourite ones are the Majorca and the Berry Quartet. I also buy their flavoured syrups, which are extremely hard to find on the mainland, and have sampled their fudge and ice cream too. And since they've opened their bakery, Cakebread, I and my friends have enjoyed some of their yummy layer cakes as well.

I live in the lower mainland and get over to the island several times a year. A stop at Hot Chocolates is always a part of each trip. And now not just for me. As I've introduced friends and co-workers to some of their delights I am now supplied with "shopping lists" before I head to the ferry each time. Please keep doing what you're doing. You're obviously extremely good at it.
