There's no doubt that Lynn & and her wonderful team at The Chocolate Shoppe are the happiest of chocolatiers around and they're spreading their joy and passion through smiles, and of course, delicious and beautiful confections.
What started as a wholesale business dating to 1994 turned into a retail shop in Gardnerville that would shortly turn into a pillar of the community that locals could depend on to get phenomenal service and delicious treats.
Whether a regular or a new customer, The Chocolate Shoppe will treat you the same, eager to serve you with smiles and assistance in helping you find the perfect treat to brighten up your day.
The Chocolate Shoppe caters to every occasion, working with their customers to customize the perfect gifts, be it special photos printed on yummy cookies or themed and well-thought out selections made into beautiful baskets.
Whatever idea you have, they will try their best to make it come to life since they make everything in house and have that flexibility.
The grounds of the shop go into full swing when the holidays arrive throughout the year, with holiday-themed treats out the door. Whatever the holiday, The Chocolate Shoppe works throughout the year in customizing treats, making them fun and festive for all to enjoy.
If awards were being given out for the most outgoing, most festive, most passionate, top tastiest, and best all-around chocolate shop, I would give all of them to The Chocolate Shoppe, located in Gardnerville, NV.
I am truly honored to have met such passionate owners and workers that run the Choclate Shoppe.

It was love at first bite when I bit into their top-seller, Ashley's Bordeoux, rich and creamy brown sugar, mocha butter cream, wrapped in dark chocolate and topped with real chocolate sprinkles (source), at the coffin races in Gardnerville, Nevada.
The Chocolate Shoppe had a table set up with their colorful and festive Halloween treats display at The Coffin Races in Gardnerville this past October in 2021.

There were two dressed-up skeletons on each side of the table, daring and welcoming visitors in to purchase treats worth dying for. With how well things were presented, I took a chance and was happy to discover gold.
At The Chocolate Shoppe's table, me and my kids had the pleasure of meeting the workers, Sarah and Eden, who greeted us with friendly "Hello(s)".
Being chatty roosters by nature, my daughter, son, and I started asking all sorts of questions, like "How are you?","What's good here?", and "Do you have an actual shop?"
Each question was met with such lively and enthusiastic answers. I was genuinely happy, along with my kids, at how friendly and passionate these workers were.
Sarah & Eden suggested everything with their stamps of approval and extended a friendly invite to their actual Chocolate Shoppe where their super fresh and tasty sweets are made.
Me and my kids eagerly grabbed a variety of treats-milk chocolate-dipped marshmallow covered in fall sprinkles, chocolate-dipped double stuffed sugar skull Oreos, caramel apples, and Ashley's Bordeoux, taking the lead of many people in front of us, putting their hands on what they could get.
What me and my kids loved about our treats was that they were incredibly fresh and well balanced with the perfect amount of sweetness and textures.
Among our treats was a caramel apple. I always taste caramel apples whenever I see them and was so happy that their version was super satisfying with great flavor and texture.
Not all caramel apples are made equal and after tasting so many of them, I've found that skill and quality of ingredients make a difference in producing delicious ones.
The Chocolate Shoppe did them justice, along with everything else they sell in their shop.

I am so happy to have learned about The Chocolate Shoppe. It's the whole package and it's definitely setting the standards for how a business should be run. They're passionate about life, stand behind their products, and treat every single customer with care. Please don't hesitate to stop by and tell them that I (Kat) said hello.
Notes:
-There's a cute town only 15 minutes away, Genoa, that arguably has the oldest bar in Nevada. The city is super charming and holds a popular annual event called the Candy Dance Festival, which I will add to my blog in the future.
