May 24, 2002 - The Chocolate Fetish has again been voted "The Best Candy and Chocolate Shop in Western North Carolina" by the Mountain Xpress, an Asheville Newspaper in North Carolina. Thanks to all of our dedicated customers and Chocolate lovers that voted us 'The Best' once again.

...Chocolate Truffles so wonderful that its hard to work up much enthusiasm for any others. These are not Chocolates for children. The owners make their Truffles by hand from pure Chocolate and whipping cream, and the product is best savored like fine Cognac. Eat them slowly: Bite off a small piece and swirl it around in your mouth. My favorite is Bitter-Sweet - a rich, dense, perfectly balanced ball of Chocolate with plenty of bitter and not too much sweet.

Extremely rich chocolate truffles fill showcases at The Chocolate Fetish, a little shop located on Haywood street.

The Chocolate Fetish truffles (named for the European mushrooms to denote the very best) are creamy, with a velvety taste and texture. They are referred to as "a moment of pure ecstasy"which may sound like a overstatement until you try one!...If you love your chocolate,now is your opportunity to sample the very best.

Try to window shop at The Chocolate Fetish, but the golf ball size chocolate truffles laced with Kahlua, raspberry cream, buttermilk, and other forms of diet breaking ecstasy will probably tempt you inside.

You asked for an unbiased opinion... I think three years of sampling a wide
variety of chocolate from 49 states and around the world has shown us what's
good.  The overall consensus was that the box from Chocolate Fetish was the
"best ever" and "legendary." The praise began with the packaging and the
sheet describing the contents and continued through the all-important taste
test.

Received your chocolate for Valentine's day and wanted you to know it was the best chocolate that I have had.
So fresh, sized so perfect, packed so attractive....yum yum
Thanks again.

Congratulations,
 Living in Boston for 20 years has taught me one thing... the only good chocolate you can find is at Phillips Candy House. However, I hand the title over to you on account of your milk chocolate cashew frogs. AMAZING.

I visited Asheville awhile ago, found your shop and brought a box
of chocolates home to PA.  These were such a hit that I had to place an
order.
The flavors are sublime and here in Hershey, PA we have some serious choco
fetishists :-)
Thanks for such a great choco connection!

Just had to write to you to rave about your product! Our daughter sent us a chocolate assortment and Ecstasy truffles for Mother's and Father's Day gifts and, wow--they will not last 2 days much less the 2 weeks freshness threshold--we can't keep our hands off those boxes! We've already thanked our daughter Amy but thank you as well for creating such a great treat!
Best,
LS
