Virginia Chocolate Company

Really excellent truffles. Smooth and rich, with a big variety of flavors for all tastes, including bacon, cardamom-​rose, nutmeg, merlot, and habanero pepper. Although I haven’t tried it (yet) I’ve also heard that the bark is quite good.
Only reason I’m giving four stars is that the quality of the chocolate bars is far below that of the truffles. The chocolate bars have stabilizers so that they can sit on the shelf for a while (unlike the truffles, which have to be refrigerated). But I’ve tried two of the chocolate bars, and the texture of each has been grainy and extremely waxy. The chocolate didn’t melt on the tongue at all. The cherry walnut candied ginger bar had some chewy dried cherries, but couldn’t find a single walnut and there was no hint of ginger.
FYI, the owner told me that he’s no longer selling at Reagan National. He does sell online, at a couple of NoVa farmers markets, and at the Downtown Holiday Market in November/​December.

These truffles are fantastic! I purchased a box where I chose my own assortment. I chose all dark chocolate flavors, but he offers milk varieties, too. And he has a HUGE variety of flavors! I got pistachio, pumpkin, eggnog, mint, and nutella. The eggnog is out of this world! I also purchased a (somewhat pricey) tin of peppermint bark to take to my bf’s family in NY, but I tried a sample and it was delicious! And it is a big tin filled to the brim! He is currently at the DC Christmas Market by the Portrait Gallery (on end opposite the Verizon center).

The truffles are great, but the real star is the coffee bark. It is seriously one of the yummiest candies I’ve ever tasted. Chocolate, coffee and cinnamon is a great combination. I can’t wait to go back to the DC Christmas market for more!

Chocolate truffles with bacon. ‘Nuff said.

This «company,» from what I gather, is a one man shop. This guy makes the most amazing handmade truffles: my favorite flavors are dark chocolate raspberry and milk chocolate peanut butter. He has over 30 flavors, and they rotate according to what ingredients are fresh and available.
I’ve spotted him selling at a number of the NoVa farmers markets, including Clarendon on Wednesdays and Sundays at Columbia Pike. He keeps the chocolates in two large coolers. Truffles are 2 for $ 3, but the chocolates are fairly large so the price is reasonable, considering what you are getting (and that these treats are handmade!).
He also sells gelato (which I have not yet tried).
