Ricky's Chocolate Box

Ricky's Chocolate Box is a must-must-stop in Hermann for anyone with a sweet tooth. Look for the yellow awning on Market Street—and go hungry. For a small shop, Ricky's Chocolate Box has an amazing selection of handmade truffles, varieties of chocolate clusters, covered pretzels and homemade toffee. Luckily, friendly staff don't rush customers browsing the choices. Most impressively, Ricky's offers 17 kinds of turtles, with milk chocolate and dark chocolate, coconut, cherries, bananas, blueberries, apricots, you name it. We tried the gooey caramel-marshmallow truffle. Delish! The truffles are tempting and almost too pretty to eat. Skip the cookie dough (it's only average) and go for the mint, amaretto or strawberry. You won't be disappointed. They also have dark pecan, dark almond, butter rum and more.
