I'd still like an explanation of why they moved from Emeryville to Westfield Center, suddenly closed, and then had a fundraising campaign to reopen in the Mission. It sounds like they're making the same products as 3 years ago (I really like the almonds too).

Thanks! It still seemed kind of sketchy, especially the big expansion into the city and fancy truffles in the first place. Glad they've gone back to what they do best.

Went to Charles Chocolates in the Mission Sun 3/17/13, they opened Fri 3/15/13. It's up the street on 17th & Florida near Mariposa. I saw Coffee Bar & Cana (I need to try their Cubano Sandwich) nearby.

They had samples of the Pave, Triple Chocolate Almonds, & later I got a tiny sample of the brownie.

Triple chocolate almonds $12/can. I love them. Triple Chocolate Hazelnuts $12/can.

Candied lemon & hazelnut mendiant bar $4.95 ea. I want them next time.

Paves are melt-in-your-mouth chocolates - yummy $18 for 16pcs/$35 for 32 pcs.

Fleur De Sel Caramels $24 for 10pcs/$38 for 20 pcs

Chocolate Covered Matzah $22 a tub, get them now before they are gone!

Candy pieces are $2 ea sold in tiny plastic bag, no boxes yet. Later you can customize your box.
