Chocolate in Jamaica Plain

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Would you like to find some excellent chocolate in Jamaica Plain, MA? Well, look no further. Brad Brown, owner of the Blue Frog Bakery at 3 Green St., is here to satisfy that craving. His chocolate is one of Jamaica Plain's best kept secrets because it makes a rare appearance only twice a year: Christmas and Valentine's Day.

Am I the ultimate chocolate connoisseur? No. Do I love me some good dark chocolate? You betcha. Do I like boxes of assorted chocolates? Not usually -- until I tried the chocolate at Blue Frog Bakery.

Over Christmas, I tried one of Brad's coconut-filled chocolates. Coconut-filled chocolates are usually the first boxed chocolate I spit out. But this one wasn't filled with the usual sugar coated wad of coconut. Instead it was a slightly chewy cream filling with the subtle taste of coconut. Melt in your mouth deliciousness.

Then I tried his maple-filled chocolate. Yes, that's the other flavor I almost always spit out. But this was a light mousse flavored with maple that just slid down your palate.

As I write this, he is busily preparing this year's Valentine's Day collection of tasty morsels. In addition to an assortment of delicious chocolate, Brad will also be offering a selection of pate de fruit. All of this will be available starting this Saturday, February 11th.

Chocolate: 4-piece box ($5) or 9-piece heart shaped box ($15)
Dark chocolate orange ganache; milk chocolate hazelnut; chocolate fondant; strawberry jelly; cranberry almond marzipan

Pate de fruit: (the pricing and packaging isn't set yet)
mango ginger; strawberry; raspberry; passion fruit
