Stumped in your search for a unique gift for someone you love? Don’t want to travel to shop or give Jeff Bezos more money? redbankgreen is here to help with our seasonal feature highlighting gift suggestions from Red Bank shops and businesses.

 

We find ’em the old-fashioned way: walking into local shops searching for stuff that’s quintessentially Red Bank or just plain unique and fun to give or get. We’ll be popping in here again and again in the weeks leading up to Christmas to show you our finds. Here’s today’s find – and click here if you want to see the previous gift ideas. 

 

What: “Red Bank Twist’ Chocolates. The most popular and (in our publisher’s opinion, delicious) of all the amazing chocolate concoctions in the shop, the Red Bank Twist consists of pretzel twists dipped in caramel, dipped in homemade peanut butter, and dipped in milk chocolate. 

Where: Red Bank Chocolate Shoppe, 17 White Street. (Purchase in-store or order online)

Why? As one family member said, “there’s a lot going on” with the Red Bank Twist. It’s soft and creamy yet crunchy, sweet and chocolately yet salty. A small sliver of one of these babies is basically an entire dessert. Red Bank Chocolate Shoppe has been at it for 25 years and it this stuff tastes like a crowning achievement. Buy this as a gift and you will make someone happy. 

How much? $35 per pound.
