The Sweet Granada - Emporia

Okay, I admit it - I've got quite the sweet tooth, particularly for anything chocolate. I found a great place to satisfy my craving at The Sweet Granada, in Emporia. From the moment customers enter this little chocolate destination with an old-fashioned vibe, the owners' enthusiasm is contagious.

The shop represents a passion shared by the mother-daughter team of Toni Bowling and Kim Redekker, who studied chocolate making for a year before they plunged into their new careers.

Located beside the stunningly renovated and historic Emporia Granada Theatre, Sweet Granada offers luscious fudge, and enormous hand-dipped strawberries, in season. There are a dozen varieties of truffles - from amaretto to German chocolate fillings - plus dark chocolate nut clusters, and much more.

Find your favorite and then ask Toni or Kim to ship some more, for your next special occasion.
