BEST CHOCOLATE ON MAUI FOR VALENTINE'S DAY--SWEET PARADISE

Sweet Paradise Maui

Valentine's Day--hearts, flowers, roses and chocolate.  Ah, chocolate.  Certainly my favorite food group.  And the best place to indulge that craving is by heading over to Sweet Paradise in Wailea. 

Owner Melanie Boudar opened this shop last June in Wailea Gateway Place.  Once you walk in the door you will recognize that this is no ordinary store.  Bright red walls, red carpets, and a piano greet you.  But for me, it's straight to the chocolate display cases.  They are  dazzling and it's no surprise since Melanie actually spent 30 years as a diamond and gemstone buyer.  Eventually her lifelong love of chocolate won out and now we all benefit from that.  Just imagine the best chocolate in the world blended with the tropical flavors of the Hawaiian Islands. 

Who wouldn't melt opening a box of Valentine's chocolates that look like these?  Each is a work of art.  You may wonder how chocolate will survive in our 80 degree temperatures--but I never give that a second thought--since mine just never seem to last that long!  The chocolate is amazing and the choices almost unlimited.  My favorite is the special Island-themed box of seven chocolates--coconut creme brulee, Kona coffee, macadamia nut, lilikoi silk, mango ginger, pineapple starfruit and island spice. 

Sweet Paradise Maui

Sweet Paradise is located at 34 Wailea Gateway Place (the corner of Pi'ilani Highway and Wailea Iki Drive) in Wailea.  You can call them at 808.661.4764 or order online at www.sweetparadisechocolate.com

Oh boy....far too tempting there Janet!  I haven't had a really good filled chocolate in a very long time...I am due for some guilty pleasure!

Janet, I can't imagine my life without chocolate. Love your choices ;-) Creme brulee is my favorite. I will go to our Godiva store next week to get something special for myself.

Hi Sharon--these are beyond amazing and now they are gong to start growing the cocoa locally.  My husband always says these are just too pretty to eat--but the taste wins out since he does eat them. 

Hi Anna--No Godiva stores here on Maui, but Sweet Paradise is pretty awesome!

Janet...and I assume that there is NOT a calorie in them...once I have 1 it's deadly.  They all look amazing!

Hi Kathy--there are no calories on Maui.  It is not allowed!!!  You can guess that I ration my visits to this store  The chocolates are sinfully good and I don't want to know about the caloric count!
