12 Brooklyn Candy Companies To Try This October
Cacao Prieto
Cacao Prieto has gained a lot of attention in the past year or so for its excellent Bourbon Whiskey, Widow Jane. But their Red Hook factory also turns out pretty superlative chocolates (founder Daniel Prieto Preston’s family has farmed cocoa beans in the Dominican Republic for over a century), available in bars (usually with generous chunks of nuts tossed in), bon bons that come in innovative flavors like “fall flower honey,” and a nut and cacao spread that gives Nutella a run for its money (yes, really).
