Capone's Chocolate Covered Figs
Today, Jules shares a fantastic local chocolate find:
Mothers' Day is creeping up and while I'm constantly telling my husband to never, ever bring me chocolate for occasions such as this, this year I do want just one thing -- and it happens to be chocolate. This is the kind of chocolate that I will eat guilt free and will happily share with my kids so they can experience the beauty of quality chocolate made with natural and fresh ingredients -- not the kind that sits on a shelf in a box for weeks (months? years?) before the foil is torn away.
Capone Foods (in Somerville and Cambridge) -- purveyor of fine pastas and sauces -- recently started making their own chocolates and these treats will bring you to your knees. In particular, get yourself one (or several) of their chocolate covered figs and a glass of red wine and all will be copasetic.
In addition to the figs (which are hand dipped in dark chocolate with a peach brandy ganache filling...YUM), Capone's offers chocolate clusters (cornflakes and dried cranberries covered in dark chocolate) and chocolate dipped pretzels. They make their chocolates about three times a week and sell out every single batch, so get there early -- whether it's this coming week (because hey, every day is mother's day) or in advance of the official Mother's Day.

These sound divine (and local at that!). Thanks for sharing, we will have to check these out for sure!
