It all began when 10Best listed the Connecticut Chocolate Trail as one of their top 20 favorite food trails. As folks discovered there was a delectable drive full of taste testing sweets, the trail’s popularity continued to grow. Last year the trail was a finalist in USA Today’s search for the best food trail in America. But we’re not surprised. Who could resist a scenic state-wide trip complete with world-renowned chocolatiers? This is one drive you just have to make!
At 204 miles, this 4 hour trip could be done in a single day. So, grab your fellow chocolate loving buddies and head out on a delicious adventure.
