  • I hate pretzels, but Gary's Gourmet Chocolates has created some Belgian-chocolate-dipped tall pretzel sticks, rolled in crushed English toffee, that are almost enough to convert me. The long sticks cost $1.25 each or $7.50 for a set of six, which includes two sticks of each variety -- white, milk, and dark chocolate -- wrapped in attractively decorated cellophane. But chocolates aren't the only cure for a sweet tooth offered by Gary Kalajian (no relation), the proprietor of the Belmont shop: he's also a former dental technician and crafter of crowns.

    Gary's Gourmet Chocolates, located at 1076 Belmont Street in Belmont, is open Monday from noon to 7:30 p.m., Tuesday through Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Saturday from noon to 6:30 p.m. Gift packaging and mail shipment also available. Call (617) 489-6913, or dial the chocolate hotline at (877) 6-TRUFFL.
