This German spot in the White Mountains offers hand-dipped chocolate and delicious hot fudge and, believe me, you'll want to try it all! Find them at 2483 White Mountain Highway, North Conway.

3. The Old Country Store and Museum, Moultonborough

This shop has the distinction of being one of the oldest surviving businesses in America - and boy, are we glad they're still around.

Van Otis Chocolates has been satisfying sweet teeth (sweet tooths?) for over 85 years! During that time they've created a shop that's worth as many trips as you can make. Time your visit with one of their chocolate-making classes and be sure to take one of their factory tours. They're located at 341 Elm St., Manchester.
