This Tiny Shop In New Hampshire Serves Brownies To Die For

Great chocolate is associated with cocoa beans grown in the mountains of South America, but it turns out that world class chocolate is also served in the mountains of New Hampshire. These days, chocolate is everywhere, from the checkout at the gas station to so-called freshly baked brownies in grocery store. However, one tiny shop in New Hampshire is still treating chocolate like the art form it is. That’s why everyone in New Hampshire needs to visit Vicuna Chocolate in Peterborough.

Vicuna Chocolate is about as far from a Hershey's bar as two products sharing the same name can be. In this Peterborough cafe, chocolate is an art.

Owner and chocolatier Neely Cohen has worked as a chef in Europe, South American and The Middle East. To open her passion project, she returned to her home town of Peterborough to open a bean to bar chocolate shop.

That means that chocolate at Vicuna begins with beans from South America that are roasted, crack and ground on site.
