All Over Albany

The Chocolate Gecko's over here now

A few folks we know went looking for Albany's Chocolate Gecko at its old Delaware Ave location and were sent into a chocoholic tailspin when they realized it was closed.

Step away from the Hershey bar, the Gecko is still open -- it just moved to a new location on Colvin Avenue this past summer.

It's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it kind of place on the outside, except for the big green gecko on the sign out front. But once you're inside... well, think Chocolat.

Pretty much everything at The Gecko is made on the premises, using all-natural ingredients.

Here are a few things to try if you stop by:

Chai Buddha truffles
They're a signature Gecko treat. These full-bellied Buddha buddies come in dark or milk chocolate, and they're filled with a vanilla chai infused chocolate ganache. They're a little creamy, a little spicy. They're also brushed with edible gold dust.

Habanero-infused truffles
These truffles truffles are another fav. The heat of the chile is great with the sweetness of the chocolate.

Komodo Crunch
The crunch in this butter toffee comes from toasted pecans and almond pieces. Terra Stratton, who bought the business with a couple of co-owners last year, has said she was addicted to this stuff even before she bought the place.
