Step into Katherine Clapner's charming chocolate haven where inventive flavors and a friendly staff create a delightful experience that keeps customers coming back for more.
"Katherine Clapner’s Bishop Arts chocolate shop doesn’t have to remain a Dallas secret — it can ship chocolate treats just about anywhere. The Crack in a Box chocolate bark is made from 72 percent South American dark chocolate and is chunked up with candied hazelnut, almonds, macadamia, and cocoa nibs. Dude, Sweet Chocolate also offers several nut-free options for folks with allergies." - Courtney E. Smith
"Born of an idea hatched in a Dallas dive bar, this brand has grown from a one-woman artisan chocolate outfit (with sweets made for private clients and peddled at farmers' markets) into a small kitchen/storefront in the Bishop Arts District to, now, four shops, several retail outlets (including Whole Foods), and dessert-consulting gigs with major restaurant chains. The success can be attributed to co-founder/noted pastry chef Katherine Clapner’s dedication to quality, and to her commitment to keeping it simple:Without bows, ribbons, or showy packaging, the chocolate speaks for itself. And then there are the flavors, from sweet-and-savory mixes like blue cheese and sea-salt fudge and porcini mushroom and pumpkin-seed toffee, to creamy truffles made with 12-year-old Macallan whiskey and sloe gin, dark chocolate bark with fruits and fenugreek, Valrhona-covered marshmallow puffs, rich hot chocolates, and much more. The staff is happy to let you sample away."
