See’s is a SoCal classic, and esoteric flavors abound at various haute bon bon boutiques. But John Kelly Chocolates takes the top spot, thanks to its sophisticated-but-accessible varieties (oftentimes, a girl just wants a great caramel or elevated peanut butter cup) and culinary ingenuity. The chocolatier’s signature dark chocolate truffle fudge bites (two for $10) are made from a secret recipe that creates an incredibly smooth texture—the sweet spot between fudge and ganache. Plus, the handcrafted treats are massive and satisfying, with most pieces weighing in at almost one ounce.
