Kate Weiser's upcoming chocolate shop, slated to open in April, is one of the most anticipated openings of 2014. Chocoholics have been following Weiser's chocolate trail ever since she was crafting up an array of stunning hand-painted chocolates during her reign as executive chocolatier at Chocolate Secrets. Weiser's forte is playing around with flavors and textures like she does with her peanut brittle bonbons, featuring a smooth peanut milk chocolate ganache blended with chunks of homemade peanut brittle. Some of her other tasty sensations include a buttery popcorn bonbon made with a white sweet corn ganache and a key lime pie bonbon filled with a white chocolate graham cracker ganache and key lime pate de fruit. Until the new shop opens, you can find Weiser's chocolates at Eatzi's, as well as Ascension Coffee—where Weiser will also be hosting a special Valentine's pop-up shop featuring an assortment of her chocolates and French macaroons February 12th through 14th.
