Remember going to grandmother’s house?  Remember the chocolates?  Thin chocolate covering an overly sweet buttercream filling - Well, these days that simply isn’t the case!  At the Ultimate Chocolate Shoppe, we take the traditional chocolate covered buttercream and raise it to another level! 

 

Whether you like the dense, rich flavor of dark chocolate buttercreams or the smooth, creamy flavor of milk chocolate buttercreams, we have you covered.  And yes, the pun was intended! 

 

First we have a buttercream that is so silky and delicious you need to savor each bite.  Then we created raspberry buttercreams and tangy orange buttercreams to add to the more traditional vanilla or chocolate buttercreams.  And finally we drench them in either milk chocolate or dark chocolate to make a perfect chocolate covered buttercream. 

 

Enjoy them with coffee or give them as a gift.  No matter what the occasion, we think you will agree - these aren’t your grandmother’s candy anymore!
