I know he sells at the Embarcadero Farmers' Market on Saturdays - can't get there today and would like to get my hands on some of his chocolate this week. I've contacted the company but as I wait to hear back, I appeal to the chowhounds for ideas. Anyone know a retail source for this fabulous stuff? Online or real, either way. Thanks!

His stand used to be on the east side of the market but is now on the south side of it. His product is also sold at Neiman Marcus.

Yum indeed! Sat Dec 08 19:42:28 -0800 2001 55610 0 brad kaplan 1 55622 you can also get them at Confetti's in Embarcadero Center. Sat Dec 08 20:35:14 -0800 2001 55610 0 Karen M. 2 55623 Confetti is a local chain with several stores in the City, although not all of them have the selection of high end chocolates. I've noticed the selection at the Embarcadero store has gotten smaller, so you might want to call around. The Embarcadero store also has the chocolate sauce. anyone tried it? How does it compare with Sharffen Berger (which I was actually disappointed with considering all the oohing about it here)? Sat Dec 08 22:22:10 -0800 2001 55622 0 Ruth Lafler 1 55624 Fabulous! Thanks for all of the leads. I am pretty sure I'll be able to get my burnt caramel fix soon, and have been meaning to check out that Yum! place. Re cocoaplanet.com - anyone ordered from there? I always prefer to order online from sites that have some sort of positive track record. Thanks again.

How all the flavors managed to balance was a miracle. Truly hyperdelicious! Fri Dec 14 14:22:17 -0800 2001 56003 0 Ruth Lafler
