Sweet Repeat

The name might be familiar, but the brand is all new.

Master chocolatier Bernard Callebaut opens his new store Papa Chocolat. The 860-square-foot boutique sells Callebaut’s filled dark, white and milk chocolates with international ingredients including Sicilian pistachios, Normandy sea salt and Ceylon cinnamon. Enjoy them individually or go all in with the Christmas Cracker, a chocolate log stuffed with more chocolates. The Callebaut’s had our sweet tooth pegged 100 years ago when they first started manipulating cocoa in Belgium. A century later the basics are still the same: creamy cocoa, inventive fillings, a pretty package and we’re willing to blow our daily calorie intake in a few bites. —Jaelyn Molyneux
