Where is the chocolatest street in the world? It is in Bariloche, Argentina, located in the southwestern part of Argentina near the Chilean border. Austrians and Germans looking for a better life settled in the area in the late 1800’s. These immigrants sought a place that reminded them of their Bavarian homeland, and they found it in a beautiful, fertile valley nestled in the Andes. Bariloche's chocolate history began after World War II, when some of the European immigrants began making chocolates at home. Some of Bariloche's chocolates are still handmade but most are prepared by a combination of machines and handcrafting. Now Mitre Street, Bariloche’s main street, is a “Street of Chocolate Dreams.” It is lined with stores selling chocolates and tourists trying to decide which store offers the best chocolate. It is a yummy dilemma! 
No shortage of places to purchase chocolate in Bariloche!
No need to buy chocolate here, just do what Dave & I did, visit a few shops & snack on the complimentary samples!!
