| - Even though others have yelped about Delight before, I decided to keep it on the down-lo. I didn't want to add to all the 'hype' by blabbing my big mouth all over town about how just about the best chocolatier in the city was right on my doorstop.
But that all ends today!
As Toronto's first handmade, fair trade and organic chocolatier in the city, Delight, run by Jennifer Rashleigh and Jeff Brown have a lot to brag about, but they don't stop there, they continue to go above and beyond in their offerings, always outdoing themselves.
As an unfortunate dairy-freer (not by choice!) while I cannot nosh on most of the flavours of ice cream available, I am never without satisfaction as the dairy-free chocolate (made with coconut) is so sinfully bursting with flavour that I can't even remember what it is I'm missing. They also offer in the hotter months many sorbets which a little birdie told me is often made with local ingredients. I've had an apple sorbet and I'm definitely a convert.
In terms of their truffles, an essay could be written. My personal favourites are the chocolate caramel with smoked sea salt, the maple butter and the early grey vanilla, but their seasonal offerings which come and go are also just as spectacular.
If you adore chocolate bark, the dark chocolate walnut bark with fleur de sel will knock your socks off, while the dark chocolate candied orange and lemon peel will be a tea-time (or anytime) favourite in no time.
It also doesn't hurt that everybody there is also so damn nice.
In terms of pricing, I can't agree with 'moderate' as the truffles are almost all $1.50, basic truffle price, the ice cream is $3.25 for a cup and a little more for a cone, everything is pretty standard gourmet chocolatier fare, so a little indulgence definitely won't break the bank.
