"I originally bought some truffles from CN many years ago, when I was a student at WWU, for my girlfriend (now wife) on Valentines Day. It's been 8 years and now we live in New England. I still get these "wicked" good truffles for my wife every year. I'd be in big trouble if I didn't. : ) Enjoy."

"The first time I visited Chocolate Necessities, Kevin was extremely helpfull in explaining all about chocolate. I had heard the commercial many times on KARI or was it 106.5, and thought I just had to find this place on my annual visit to Lynden.
The last time I visited was in the spring/summer and the young ladies were very friendly and helpfull.
What a fabulous place and people.
Richard Hicks"

"This is some of the best chocolate I have had and I have had my fair share of chocolate in europe. These are also some of the friendliest and most helpful people you will meet."

"I love their products, but their hours are awful. What kind of ice cream and chocolate gift shop is only open until 6, missing summer evening customers (I personally haven't even had dinner by 6 when it's nice out) and folks running home from work needing last minute dinner party gifts or something for the next day. It just seems odd to me not to hire someone to work an extra hour or two in the evenings and be available when the public market is open."

"Hands down, best gelato in town. Scrumptious. The only problem is, the gelato shop is not open at night... when people want to eat gelato. Please please please stay open till 9. I promise I will come to eat gelato at least twice a week if you do. But I just can't make it during the day because I'm at work...like most of the rest of the world."

"I recently ordered a pound a half of Pralus milk chocolate from Chocolate Necessities, and I could not be a happier customer. The owner responded very quickly to my email query and answered follow-up questions as fast. (I am still waiting for a response from another online merchant.) If you need to talk to a human being by phone, they're there! The owner is clearly very passionate and knowledgeable about chocolate, which is a big plus for me.

I received the chocolate in New York in just three days at very little extra expense. The chocolate lived up to the owner's "best ever" billing -- and the frosting I made using it drew raves!

Honestly, this was probably the best online purchase experience I've ever had. I just have to figure out what my next chocolate adventure will be, and I'll be back!"

The service was outstanding from the start -- the owner replied to my original query very quickly and answered my follow-up questions just as fast. (I contacted another online merchant about the same chocolate and am still waiting to hear back.) Anyway, he was clearly very passionate and knowledgeable about chocolate, which was a big plus for me.

I had the chocolate in hand in New York in three days! The chocolate lived up to the owner's "best ever" billing and made a great frosting that garnered raves. Needless to say, I am a very happy customer and will be back!"

"Chocolate Necessities is the best chocolate I have ever had. If my husband doesn't get me some of their truffles for Christmas each year, he is being served divorce papers, lol. :)"
