In non-Texas places, October usually indicates the arrival of crisp fall weather. There’s a nip in the air, (fake) spider-webs on trees and pumpkin-spiced-EVERYTHING has taken over stores. It marks the season of comfort foods, with the mama of them all being chocolate.
Though there are many times where a couple of Lindt truffles from the Walgreen’s checkout counter are acceptable for filling your chocolate craving, there are several chocolate purveyors throughout Austin, so why not help Keep Austin Weird while indulging? So while your little ones are squirreling away their Halloween loot, you can indulge in a locally-made confection at the following local spots:
