For the New Englanders ready for another winter, the perfect gift idea from Harbor Sweet is any one of their Cocoa Santé hot chocolate line.

Walking into Harbor Sweets is like walking into Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory! Handcrafted New England Chocolates have been made here since 1973! As soon as I walked in, I felt at home and there was a precise reason for it – the area has a large Dominican population and it was so incredible to talk to the Dominican chocolate makers that were part of the fabric that makes up the over 100 people that are employed by Harbor Sweets.

This post comes as a continuation to my Foodie Travel Guide to Salem, MA published in the spring and months later I bring you the sweetest side of Salem – its chocolate and candy shops galore! A New England city packed to the brim with incredible food, while traveling through it, we discovered that Salem has a sweet tooth and on every turn we discovered a new chocolate and/or candy shop, so let’s dive right in! Harbor Sweets Come with me as we explore the chocolate and candy shops of Salem, Massachusetts and I’ll share where you can shop for them if you don’t live in MA! It’s the most wonderful time of the year, that’s why I saved this specially sweet post to share with you all during the holiday season, because nothing, and I mean NOTHING is a better holiday gift idea than chocolate.
