Dessert

If you want to eat dessert first, you're in good company (and the right place). Our tempting dessert recipes cover every angle, from light but luscious to no-holds-barred confections, cakes and pies.
Whole LemonadeTruth be told, there’s never a bad time to wax lovingly about (or consume vast amounts of) chocolate. But with Valentine’s Day approaching, February seems to be a particularly appropriate month to pay serious tribute to the cacao bean in its many rendered forms, from truffle to bar and everything in between. But when it comes to counting down the country’s best chocolates, you won’t find any convenience store chocolates on this list. For honest-to-goodness artisan chocolate, we’re going straight to the source: the chocolate shops that only deal in the kind of delectables made from scratch and with lots of love. So as you prepare for the most chocolatey of holidays (Nielsen estimates Americans purchase approximately 58 million pounds of chocolate in the days leading up to February 14th), consider satisfying your sweet tooth at one of our picks for America’s 10 Best Chocolate Shops. —By Jennifer M.
