Fine Chocolate Candies

At the base of the Sagamore Bridge, just across the canal on Cape Cod, is the place that generations have come to know as the 'Chocolate House'.  The recipes from Cape Cod’s historic ‘Chocolate House’ have withstood the test of time.  In the 19th Century an Italian family with ties to Genoa’s famous chocolatiers, immigrated to the Boston area, and began making chocolates and other confections for the crowds who fled the city on weekends for the cool waters of the Charles River. Soon the family had their own chocolate ‘house’ and a reputation for special treats.  As the highways came and neighborhoods changed, the family moved their business to its present location on Cape Cod, occupying a prominent position just across the Sagamore Bridge, and offering visitors their first – never their last, ‘taste of the Cape’. Today it is not uncommon for the Chocolate House – now Cape Cod Specialty Foods’ ‘Company Store and Tasting Room', to greet the grandchildren of the Chocolate House’s first customers.  The infamous Sagamore rotary is gone, dark chocolate is no longer considered exotic, and a ‘cup of Joe’ is a mocha latte to go – but we still use the same time-tested recipes.  Looking for an authentic ‘taste of the Cape’? You’ve found it!
