Everyone enjoys some chocolate now and then, but some enjoy chocolate every minute of every day. Valentine’s day is just around the corner, and although it may be the season a love, it is also the season of chocolate. Fort Collins is packed with places to get some chocolate. Let me show with you some of the best places to get your fix.
1. Waffle Lab
Waffles are a vehicle for basically any flavor you want to transport. Chocolate is no exception, and Waffle Lab has delicious waffles to go with delicious chocolate. If a waffle mention chocolate syrup on the menu expect Ghirardelli chocolate syrup. Although not a chocolate over load, it will satisfy any chocolate lover. From 3–8pm Thursday through Saturday the Waffle Lab offers happy hour which means you can buy smaller waffles at half the price of the larger ones. This means a person can try 4 waffles for the price of 2 which is always great for the person who can’t choose.
