Tucson's Monsoon Chocolate One Of America's Best Chocolate Shops

TUCSON, AZ — The eclectic flavors of the morsels at Tucson's Monsoon Chocolates have caught the attention of another national outlet.

The Tucson chocolate store, which is located near the intersection of 22nd Street and 4th Avenue, was among the shops named to Food & Wine's Best Chocolate Shops in America list.

Monsoon was one of two Arizona chocolate shops, along with Scottsdale's Zak's Chocolates, to make Food & Wine's list.

The national outlet noted how Monsoon's Adam Krantz has found a way to bring unique flavors to his chocolate morsels and bars, creating a one-of-a-kind culinary experience.

"Adam Krantz's chile mango, hibiscus caramel, and mesquite-smoked whiskey infused bonbons practically leap out at you with their sense of place," Food & Wine's David Landsel writes. "As Southern Arizona's most accomplished chocolatier, Krantz has proven himself wonderfully versatile, garnering impressive notices for nicely-packaged bars as well, including one from Madagascar's Sambirano Valley, a particularly sought-after source."

Krantz and Monsoon Chocolate have racked up national recognition since opening in 2018, winning dozens of International Chocolate awards during the interim.
