Melissa and I were lucky enough to have received a box of chocolates (stay out of this, Forrest Gump!) and an invitation to attend a preview night. The store opens Nov. 20, just a few days from now, and it will certainly be a place we stop by again.

The samples in the box of chocolates were amazing, with the sea salt caramel, bittersweet orange truffle, Red Elephant ganache footprint and cashew cluster our favorites. Even the chocolate coconut macaroon was good, and I am no fan of coconut.

At preview night, we were able to walk through the store -- there are display cases and a few tables with seating -- and see a display of the process of chocolate and cocoa (above) as well as full display cases of Red Elephant products (below).
If you're heading over there, here are a few recommendations:
- Cake bites: The dark chocolate one is pictured below, and it was moist with a rich chocolate flavor. But Melissa and I both loved the red velvet cake bite. It was the highlight of our evening.
- Chocolate coffee: This coffee topped with chocolate was so comforting and warming that I wanted it to be the middle of winter just so I would need a second cup.
- Hot chocolate: Topped with chocolate shavings, this drink will perk you up in the cold to come.
