If you say you love chocolate but haven't yet sampled the ambrosia that is Rheo Thompson, I'll probably call you a liar because this is truly the most decadent chocolate I've ever tasted. Seriously - Laura Secord, Lindt, Godiva, Guylian and the like may as well just pack up shop and file for Chapter 11, because Rheo Thompson is THE NUTS.
I have never been to the shop proper but I regularly "send" one of my Stratford friends with an order to pick up if they're visiting their families and this does the trick. I highly recommend having a Stratford friend - everybody needs one, if only for Rheo Thompson runs. They're also surprisingly easy to find in Toronto! And everyone who's from Stratford knows what Rheo Thompson is - the name is pretty much etched on Stratford birth certificates.
You can also order directly online but who knows how much shipping would come to - chocolate is heavy, yo!
I usually put in an order for these two things:
* Milk Mint Smoothie Bar ($1.30 each)
* 1 lb. of Dark Mint Smoothies ($16.30)
The dark chocolate Mint Smoothies are small chocolates like the coveted caramel square you find in a Black Magic or Pot Of Gold box. The centre is creamy and oozing with quality chocolate. But it's the Mint Smoothie Bar that really gets me hot and bothered.
This fiendish creation -- by no means a diet food, it's something like 300 calories, which I suppose is the same as a regular, subar quality chocolate bar -- melts in your mouth upon contact. The craftsmanship is ridiculous on these things. It's dangerous to order more than a few. I wish they made a dark chocolate Mint Smoothie Bars but I love them so much I'll break my devotion to dark chocolate and settle for milk.
Now go make some Stratford friends!Listed in: The Most Sinfully Decadent…

The chocolate at RTC are to die for, especially the melties.
RTC staff are friendly, will spend the time to educate you on their products and they have the prettiest gift wrapping styles for all occasion.
