Eat away your truffles at Bayou Chocolate

For all the candy lovers of ULM, Bayou Chocolate is where to get your chocolate fix satisfied.

Bayou Chocolate opened a few weeks ago and is located at 1836 Forsythe Avenue.

Walking into the store is like walking into a mini chocolate paradise. There are categories with so many choices; it’s impossible to just choose one.

In the front left corner there is a succulent array of truffles and dreams. The truffles are square or rectangular shape, and the dreams are circular chocolate treats.

They have flavors such as toffee, sea salt, dark French vanilla, key lime, milk blackberry and dark red raspberry cream.

To the right of the truffles and dreams are the fudges. The praline and Butterfinger fudge will melt in your mouth. It’s just that good.

When new customers come into the store and aren’t sure where to start, store manager Asper Childers tries to find their taste. The store has something for everyone.

If they like fruit, there are the candy apples and chocolate covered strawberries. If peanut butter is a favorite, there’s the delicious peanut butter bark made of white chocolate and peanut butter.

Even if chocolate is not really your thing, there are sour gummy worms, salt-water taffy, gummy bears and giant candy suckers.

Bayou Chocolate is a great place to get someone a Christmas or birthday gift, or just a gift to show you love.

The shop has little gift bags that contain non-chocolate candy, chocolate covered almonds, cashews, pecans, peanuts and raisins.

There are also baskets of assorted chocolate treats with bottled cokes.

To go along with the chocolate, Bayou Chocolate also sells ice cream.

They constantly change the flavors, but some of the flavors they have are cookies n’ cream, strawberry, cotton candy and mint chocolate chip.

Bayou Chocolate has so much to offer plus they have great customer service, which is always a plus.

Just beware that when you walk in, it’s impossible to leave empty handed.
