When I was in San Francisco, a friend introduced me to Charles Chocolates, a local favorite. The NYC chocolate scene has me pretty jaded, and I had been pretty unimpressed by what SF had been turning out, but this stuff rocks.
The confections are only available in a few stores in San Francisco, and now I order on the web (charleschocolates.com), but man, I would die if they were out here. What i am seeing around more and more are the chocolate bars and chocolate covered almonds (with the thickest chocolate coating I've ever seen). Still, they are pretty hard to find in stores in NYC. Maybe soon...
I don't know much about Chow's reviews however. I know they used to have a magazine that was pretty slick - now they are just on-line.

The Charles Chocolates I've tried were too sweet for me. But I'm a fan of very dark chocolates such as Domori Puro, which is as close to 100% cacao solids as you can get.
