Bridgewater Chocolate of Connecticut makes astoundingly good chocolate confections.  We've never been to the store, but we've mail-ordered from them numerous times; a Thanksgiving favorite of ours are the pilgrim hats, which are hat-shaped candies of soft and creamy caramel in dark chocolate.  In the Michael Stern photograph above, from his Roadfood.com review, is a coconut igloo, of which Michael says, "Intense dark chocolate and creamy-rich coconut are, in my book, an unbeatable combination. Here they are in a coconut igloo, married perfectly."

TasteTV has a 1:17 video of the proprietor of Cocoa Bella Chocolates taking viewers on a survey of the Bridgewater Chocolate items in his store.  As you can see, Bridgewater specializes in taking prosaic and familiar candies and, through skill and imagination, and top-quality ingredients, turning them into uncommon treats.
