GUESS WHO WAS NAMED #1 CHOCOLATE SHOP IN NYC BY TIME OUT MAGAZINE!!!!!!!

Stocking Stuffer Box - Aigner Chocolate

Time Out Says

This Forest Hills candy kitchen has been sating the confectionary cravings of Queens residents since 1930. Upon entering the tiny shop, kids are greeted by the scent of wafting cocoa and by helpful staff who guide them through the process of choosing the delights in front of them. Austrian chocolates crafted with rich centers are the shop’s centerpieces, but tots who’d rather save their choco-fixes for a Hershey’s bar can try vibrantly hued marzipan creations instead.

FOREST HILLS, QUEENS — Aigner Chocolates in Forest Hills is donating Easter goodies to elderly residents in the neighborhood and hospital workers as a gesture of support during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Aigner will deliver chocolate Easter bunnies to elderly residents who may be isolated at home due to the new coronavirus.

The shop is also forgoing its traditional Easter raffle of a 25-pound chocolate bunny to instead donate it to Elmhurst Hospital, which has experienced a surge of coronavirus patients.

 “Community is incredibly important to my husband and I,” Rachel Kellner, co-owner of Aigner Chocolates, said in a statement.

“We wanted to make sure that the seniors in our community weren’t forgotten about and thought delivering some chocolate bunnies would brighten up their day during this very challenging time,” Kellner added.

To arrange a delivery, residents may contact rachel@aignerchocolates.com.
