A Trip to Hico

Saturday Chuck and I made a very important trip to Hico, Texas. 

You see back at Christmas Brittany and Will gifted us some really amazing chocolate from a little chocolate shop in Hico. 

After sampling it Chuck and I knew we wanted more, and were curious to check out the store in Hico. I had visited it one time before on a road trip with some friends from high school. 

Now Hico is a small town about twenty minutes southeast of Stephenville. As it turned out we had a meeting in the Stephenville area, and Chuck suggested we high tail it to Hico when we were through. 

We had finished up the chocolate, and were craving some more of the confectionary delight. We had savored it for days by cutting it up into small pieces each night after dinner. As long as we were in the area we figured we’d stop by and check out the place. 

Who knew what other treats they might offer?

Wiseman House Chocolates is located right next to the Koffee Kup, and if you are in need of a tasty lunch followed by a piece of pie then make plans to stop by after purchasing your chocolate. 

While at Wiseman’s be sure to check out the variety of chocolates, along with several other gift items available. The atmosphere is quite charming because it is actually an old house. My friend Kathy tells me that their sipping chocolate is divine, and is much richer than hot chocolate. The next time I return I will make sure to get some. 

Chuck and I ended up buying their variety pack with three different types of chocolate , and a small bag of truffles. We sampled some last night after dinner, and they were luscious! 

According to their website:

“In 1996 artist and chocolatier Kevin Wenzel first opened the doors to the Wiseman House to begin offering fine handmade chocolates to the public. Having studied fine arts in Europe, Asia and the U.S., and chocolate making at a fifth generation chocolate school in Pennsylvania, this confectioner’s son possesses the perfect combination of talent, training, and heritage for this delicate art.“

Who knew that you could find a chocolatier in a small Texas town? 

Luckily our property in De Leon is just down the road.
