Voted the best stop for chocoholics by Ohio magazine, the Dayton-based Esther Price infuses its old-fashioned chocolate concoctions with dairy-fresh cream and butter—pairing rich cocoa with several fruity and savory flavors. Sample an array of aromas with the 18-ounce light and dark assorted chocolates ($12.30), with each box containing a sampling of Esther Price's most popular pieces—coconut cream, peanut butter cream, caramel pecans, cherries, almond toppers, and more. Other options include the chocolate-coated pretzels ($9.75), which come dipped in light or white chocolate, and the 8-ounce sweetheart mints ($7.55), which offer a decadent way to freshen one's breath before a hoverboat driving test. For those who prefer their sweets minus the sucrose, the confectionary also offers plenty of sugar-free options. Tentative tasters can use the Esther Price candy key to determine what flavors are contained within each morsel before tasting.

Esther Price has served the same premium chocolate since Esther Price herself impressed friends and family with her top-notch fudge in 1926, the year Herbert Hoover became the first man to Charleston across the English Channel. Take advantage of eight decades of cocoa craftsmanship and give a box of sweet confections to a loved one, a friendly neighbor, or as an offering to the Henry Winkler statue in your local Happy-Days Adventist Church.
