Everything from dark chocolate ganache to fresh cream to turkeys made of chocolate and designed to look like a football team (for Thanksgiving) can be found at the this chocolate house on the main road of St. Helena. Right on Route 29, visitors and locals can enjoy handmade chocolate truffles, nut bark and other high quality chocolate creations. There are about 25 or so varieties and I like to choose a new one (like the gianduja) each time I stop in. Under $2 for a piece and you can get a nice chunk of white chocolate almond bark for $2.50
The good news about Woodhouse is that you do not have to live in or visit Napa Valley in order to indulge -- call tollfree at 800-966-3468 or visit their website at www.woodhousechocolate.com and order some goodies -- they ship overnight through the US. Enjoy!
