Embark On A Chocolate Pub Crawl In Wyoming With Meeteetse Chocolatier’s Happy Hour Truffles
The origin of the best chocolate in Wyoming begins in a bit of an odd way – a cowboy looking to further his career, encouraged by his mom to sell chocolate as a fundraiser. Though bronc rider Tim Kellogg was originally reluctant, he eventually agreed and the Meeteetse Chocolatier was born.
When Tim Kellogg first made a few batches of truffles to raise money for a saddle, his chocolates quickly became the talk of the town. Shortly afterwards, he opened up the Meeteetse Chocolatier.
While there's always a variety of truffles, brownies, and chocolates in the shop, Kellogg has become known for making his happy hour truffles infused with local bourbons, beers, and spirits.
The Meeteetse Chocolatier has partnered with local breweries to make unique batches, like Snake River Brewing's Nothing Rhymes With Orange Milkshake IPA truffles shown below.
One of the most popular treats in this candy store are the Belgian chocolate hearts made with Taittinger Champagne. They're perfect for Valentine's Day, or as a gift!
If you've got a sweet tooth, you'll want to stop by the Meeteetse Chocolatier. This small town gem is one of the best candy shops in all of Wyoming, and you'll love whatever you decide to try.
Today, the tiny town of Meeteetse is a destination for people who travel from all over to try these famous chocolates. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, you’ve got to make it a point to come down and treat yourself to a batch of Happy Hour truffles, a brownie, or a Parisian style hand-blended hot cocoa.
Be sure to call ahead and double check the shop’s hours, because Kellogg occasionally jet-sets about the globe to learn from chocolatiers in Belize, Paris, Belgium and elsewhere.
