No getting around it, the chocolate situation in Providence is grim. For Easter treats beyond the
CVS array (where my guilty pleasures are cheap jelly beans and Peeps) there's hardly anywhere to go. Even
Simple Pleasures (
www.simplepleasuresprovidence.com) is spare this year. There's some okay candy at
Whole Foods, and
Farmstead in Wayland Square
(www.farmsteadinc.com) stocks a few items.You can't even overpay at
Williams Sonoma since they decamped to Cranston. For Italian filled eggs try Federal Hill,
Tony's Colonial (website not responding this a.m.) or
Venda Ravioli (www.vendaravioli.com).
But for stand-up bunnies (including my favorite "wall street bunny") and chocolate-dipped peeps, baskets and macarons visit the
Garrison Confection Factory Store (72 Ledge Street, Central Falls 401-725-0790)
www.garrisonconfections.com Only show in town really.
Hours are Monday, March 18 through the 30 (but closed the 24th), 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
