Alli and Hank Rose, the founders of Saratoga Chocolate Co., say that food is an expression of love, and who are we to argue?

The Saratoga Chocolate Co. officially opened in Spa City in 2016 and has been spreading the love ever since. Specializing in chocolate bars, bark, bonbons, and truffles, each is handmade from the highest-quality chocolate, "carefully crafted to satiate the body and indulge the senses."
