A box of chocolates is so much more when they're from Recchiuti Confections. This house of artisan hand-crafted chocolates creates beautiful morsels of art that are sublime to the taste. For the sophisticated chocolate lover, give the herb and tea-infused chocolates, nestled in the Green Box ($20), or the Fleur de Sel Caramels ($20), a complex tease to the palate from French sea salt enhanced caramels. -- Gloria Tai

By far, my favorite chocolates in the city come from Recchiuti Confections. With flavors like tarragon grapefruit, lavender vanilla, jasmine tea, and lemon verbena, it's hard not to be enchanted. The simple, elegant, bite-sized chocolates are intense in flavor, but not too sweet. They also offer three-varietal chocolates and one blend that allow you to taste, like a wine, how different growing regions affect the taste of chocolate. Different colored, understated boxes offer a choice for every price level... - Chocolates' Charms
