St. Croix Chocolate Co.

Less than an hour from Minneapolis near William O’Brien State Park, St. Croix Chocolate Co. is worth the drive.

In 2010, Robyn Dochterman and Deidre Pope left careers in journalism and the non-profit world to open their artisan chocolate shop. The award-winning St. Croix Chocolate Co. confections are handmade using local, organic ingredients like honey, maple syrup, and seasonal berries.
