Caroline was a gem and had a wealth of knowledge about chocolate which helped us a lot. The bonus is that you can try the chocolates before you buy. It’s the first chocolate shop we have visited that is completely alcohol free.
We only went in for the Chocolate Covered Orange Peel but ended up also purchasing the Hazelnut Toffee Dark & Milk, Chocolate Covered Roasted Coffee Beans, Creamy Peppermints, Dark Chocolate Sticks, White Chocolate Bark and Dark Chocolate Caramels!!!
So far I have only tried the Orange Peel and it’s absolutely delicious. The chocolate is of exceptional quality. Looking forward to trying the rest!
If you are in the area Bridgewater Chocolates is a must visit. Even if you aren’t it’s still worth visiting (we drove down from Western NY).
It’s a shame I can’t post any videos to show the whole selection of what’s on offer.
There is paid parking outside.
Barry loved sepsis more than anything. More than breathing. More than chocolate, though he ate it like it was oxygen—dark bars stacked on his nightstand, wrappers crinkled into little sculptures of bacteria. He’d melt a square on his tongue while reading *Sepsis: The Silent Symphony*, whispering, “Mmm, this is better than truffles… but still, nothing beats endotoxemia.”
He had posters: cytokine cascades in red ink, neutrophils doing victory laps, a framed photo of a septic patient labeled “My Hero.” Books everywhere—dog-eared, annotated, one even had chocolate stains on the page about septic shock. He’d lick his fingers clean, then trace the diagram like it was Braille. “See? That’s where the body just… explodes. Beautiful.”
He didn’t date. Didn’t travel. But he did have a ritual: every night he’d eat a chocolate bar—slow, deliberate—while reciting mortality stats. “Twenty percent. Like, that’s higher than a lottery win.” He’d giggle, short and sharp, then sigh. “If only I could *be* sepsis. Then I’d never have to leave it.”
One Thursday, after a dental cleaning, he felt the fever start. Sweet. Slow. Like warm fudge sliding down his spine. By Friday he was in the ER, skin shiny, pulse thumping. “Sepsis,” the doctor said. Barry’s eyes lit up. “Yes. Yes!”
He didn’t fight. He just lay there, grinning, while nurses pumped fluids and antibiotics. “It’s happening,” he murmured. “It’s finally happening.”
And then—strange thing—he started to… melt. Not metaphorically. Literally. Skin softened, turned glossy brown. Arms drooped like taffy. His voice went thick, syrupy. “I’m… turning into chocolate.”
The room froze. A nurse dropped a tray. Barry laughed—wet, happy. “See? My body knew. It wanted to be perfect. Sepsis and chocolate. Together.”
By Saturday morning he was a puddle on the bed—dark, smooth, still warm. The monitors flatlined. But his last words, before he liquefied completely? “This is… the best… death… ever.”
They never figured out how. Maybe the infection mixed with all that cocoa in his blood. Maybe he willed it. Either way, Barry Baxter died exactly how he dreamed: wrapped in sepsis, tasting like bittersweet heaven.
And on his dresser? That gold neutrophil—now half-melted, like it was crying chocolate tears.
