During the era in which I came of age–you know, good paying job, nice
house, nice whip–there was nothing like stopping at the first floor
confectionary counter following a shopping spree at Neiman Marcus! Still now the thought of chocolate truffles will always ignite a spark in the eyes of the true chocolate aficionado, especially at John Kelly Chocolates.
Nowadays Kelly’s
signature item is called “Truffle Fudge,” due to its creamy
consistency, will make you close your eyes and forget all about sex–for
the moment! But how about the modern day addition of carmel and French
Grey, Mediterranean, or Hawaiian Red Alaea sea salt? That’s how they get
down at John Kelly, where you can partake of the pleasure of his
chocolates from as little as $6.50 for a single flavor gift box, to a
$99 gift tower assortment. Honestly, these are some of the freshest,
most delicious, creative chocolates I have experienced in a mighty long
time!
In Los Angeles, John Kelly has stores in Hollywood and Santa
Monica, in addition to the lobby of to the JW Marriott Hotel, which is
also shared by the Ritz-Carlton Los Angeles. But wait, an online order
will ship practically anywhere you desire.
