The Hollis Chocolate Barn

 


Look what popped up in Hollis, New Hampshire, just a short walk from the four corners and town center: The Hollis Chocolate Barn.  Currently the barn is only open two days per week, but it may still be evidence of the projection that the US chocolate industry will grow to reach $19.3 billion in the next five years.




In addition to colorfully-decorated, home-made chocolate pieces, the barn also sells a line of Maine-imported chocolate sauces, "Maine Mud," and "Healing Touch Pottery," hand-made pottery  uniquely crafted with healing energy.





Among a wide variety of local favorites such as maple truffles and mint chocolates, the barn offers several flavors of the Italian-originated gianduja, a chocolate confection filled with hazelnut paste.



 
So, for the record-- Friday or Sunday between 11am and 4pm is a perfect time to find yourself driving through Hollis.
