Owner of Chocolee Chocolates located in the South End of Boston Lee Napoli has more than two decades of baking experience. Her career in the food service industry began at the front of the house but she soon found her niche in the pastry shop. Lee is self taught and has worked with many talented pastry chefs to perfect her craft. This has left her with a willingness to work hard and an appreciation that success doesn’t happen over night.

All the chocolates at Chocolee are handcrafted by Lee and her associate Annie.

House Specials that are on hand at all times include 5 truffles:

* Hazelnut
* Espresso
* White Chocolate Pistachios
* Moroccan Mint

House favorite chocolates at Chocolee include dark chocolate with salted caramel, dark chocolate with sesame caramel, dark chocolate with bourbon cherry and honey filling, and dark chocolate with chocolate ganache and candied ginger.
