This winter, in between shoveling, we have taken some time to get out and about and check out some of the indoor activities around Brattleboro. Last week, we checked out Tom and Sally’s Handmade Chocolate’s just up the road from our Brattleboro B&B on Route 30.  It was an interesting (and tasty) find!

We were surprised to learn the diversity of Tom and Sally’s products.  They produce over 100 varieties of hand filled chocolates, chocolate bars, and organic chocolate bars.  Of course, let’s not forget about the Vermont Cow Pies and Vermont Cow Licks, which are fun gifts for the kids.  At the other end of the spectrum, Tom and Sally’s were the first to produce edible chocolate body paint for adults.   They also show their sense of humor with other types of candy packaged with unique illustrations and commentary like their popular “Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow” candies (you’ll have to see this).

Tom and Sally’s Homemade Chocolates is a fun place to visit while staying at Forty Putney Road Bed and Breakfast.   The factory store is open Monday through Saturday from 9am – 5pm (and Sunday 12pm – 5pm during peak season). Tours are available at 10am and 2pm for $7 this includes samples, it is suggested you call to let them know you are coming in for a tour. Be sure to say hi to Sally and tell her you saw her on InnBrattleboro!
